Behind The Lens

Location

I took this at a beautiful, small wedding in January. Though the sun was warm and bright, we had sub zero temperatures. This was such a beautiful room that the couple were using for a small reception. The windows were so large and the beautiful bright sun was shining through. The reception room was just beautiful because of these beautiful windows.

Time

It was around 3/4 o'clock. In January, in Wisconsin, the sun is beginning to set at this time.

Lighting

The lighting was natural. As the sun was setting it was setting in the direction of these very large windows. The bride and groom were standing in a way where the light was hitting them just so. I noticed the way that the lighting was hitting them, and ask them to stay where they were. I asked them to kiss and cuddle a bit, and then moved in what I thought was the perfect spot. I could tell on the back of the camera that I was going to absolutely love this picture.

Equipment

I used my canon 6d with the sigma 35mm f1.4 art lens.

Inspiration

It was just waiting for the right moment and seeing it in my own head. I don't think I was really inspired by anything except for their love for one another in that moment.

Editing

I did very slight post processing. I wanted to keep the natural feel of the image I took. The sun flares were natural and not created in post processing.

In my camera bag

I normally have a flash, an extra lens or two, a bunch of memory cards, and batteries.

Feedback

My best advice is to always be looking at and paying attention to what is happening around you. Moments like this can pop up and go away quickly. You just have to be ready and looking for it. Some of my best images have happened in the moment, with me offering little direction to my clients. I usually ask them to act naturally, but direct them toward light in a way that I know will create the image that I have in my head.
