Natural light shots


I love natural light portraits. I've always felt that flash and strobes have their place and look great too, but something about how natural light (especially through windows) is very soft and classic looking. Not much PP was done in this photo and has a very classic look with it. This was done with a Canon 85mm 1.8 (if I had 3k to burn I'd get the 50mm 1.2 and the 85mm 1.2) and for the price gives still stunning results.

Nothing like a wedding on a rainy day


They cant all be sunny, blue skys and sunset right? Just so happens Laura and Andrew got married on the on rainy weekend of this season. That doesnt make the pictures come out bad though =). So I made my clients step out onto a rainy balcony in the rain.. but the results were great.

It was also the first time I had to be restricted to shooting from that far away from the actual ceremony. I was probably 50ft away at all times. I was completely restricted to using my tripod as well. Lesson learned, dont bring a precise tripod head for weddings. You need a quick ball head.
But again, congrats you two.
