<p>Hello everyone…I shot this wedding at the end of June. Would love to get your thoughts and constructive criticism. The ceremony location is my home church, and the lighting is absolutely AWFUL! All fluorescent lights with a neutral/tan colored walls that give off a greenish hue, and a black ceiling. The stage has a purple/blue wall with sound-reflecting panels. The bride originally wanted all of the fluorescent ceiling lights on, including the stage lights which are colored halogen spot-type lights. Nicely, I told her that the fluorescent lights above the stage HAD to be turned off. Fortunately, these clients were great to work with, and she trusted me. Still, my church is the absolute WORST place to shoot in. In general, the interior of the worship center is ugly no matter what you can do with the lighting.</p> <p>I always use off camera lighting, and in this case positioned to AB B800's at a 45 degree angle from the center of the stage, and slight behind. Both strobes were gelled with a CTO gel to closely match the stage lights. I had on-camera flash on both camera bodies, as did my second shooter. But with the fluorescents, greenish walls, and dark ceiling, there isn't really anything you can do. I had green gels on the camera mounted flashes, but was getting such crazy results I gave up. I shot with one body using a remote trigger for the AB's, and the other I cranked the ISO up and used minimal flash. I felt like I got a decent balance of "different" photos, and ultimately presented the couple with a nice, even spread of well-lit ceremony photos. They are thrilled with them. As you can see, the couple had various plants and trees used as a backdrop of sorts. My goal was to hide that ugly, ugly blue/purple wall behind the stage! Would love to know your thoughts and comments! Thanks!</p> <p>http://www.photosbybryce.com/blog/kellie-matt-daytona-beach-wedding</p>
