The above image was shot with a bare SB-28 speedlight behind the couple. I managed to position myself so that the speedlite was visible which gave the large lens flare, and the single light point outlined the silhouette of the couple very nicely.

Lighting a couple to give an outline of the couple and a nice silhouette can emphasize the intimacy of the dance and give very moving images. The darkness of the background and the effect a single light gives makes it seem like the couple are the only people in the world.
The below images were lit by a single bare Alien Bees AB800 triggered by a Radiopopper JrX on the choir loft above.

ReplyDeletejust curious, any shots with ambient light?
It was very, very dark in the venue. I don't think I have any shots of just the ambient light because it was so dark ambient was not very usable.
ReplyDeleteImagine this. Old church converted into a high-end dining establishment. After dark, so no light from windows and only mood lighting. Everything from this wedding had to be artificially lit.
Thanks for the feedback by the way!
