Shooting in Room with lots of glass

[sandra_henderson]

Yesterday I had a meeting with a bride about a wedding for next

June. It will be an evening wedding and will take place in a glass

building (which you can see in the link) call The Crystal Garden

http://www.castlemcculloch.com/. My question is, how do I

photograph inside this venue without my flash showing as a

reflection in the glass?

Hello Sandra, I recently shot a wedding in whitch the location had many mirrors. I mostly shot

at an angle and was aware that my reflection or the flash was not visible in the mirrors.

Other great folks on in this forum suggested shooting at a low angle as well. Good Luck! J

at an angle and bounce or even better, available light.

The bride wants 6 hours of time and the ceremony and reception will take place in the Crystal Garden at 6:00 p.m. so I'm a little unsure if I can totaly use available light. I can shoot low but have a feeling my back will be KILLING me by the time I leave that place. I appreciate the posts and welcome everyone else to post as well. Thanks for the links guys.

Using the "angle of incidence equals angle of reflection" rule plus a long lens (cuts out the reflection) for the shots that make sense for long lenses will help save your back. Doesn't help that the walls are curved. That's the worst. On some necessary wide shots, you are just going to get those flash reflections. Test your lenses out to see if you can find the apertures where the flash reflection comes out as a star instead of the ugly "ball of light". With some lenses, it just doesn't happen--something to do with the number of shutter blades(???).
