Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Augusta, Maine during the first wedding I ever shot! It was a intimate backyard wedding, with amazing people.

Time

This was taken over a year ago but I believe this was taken around 5 pm. It was taken after the ceremony, after we made it through family formals and wedding party photos.

Lighting

Just find even lighting! Finding a spot with some shade to create even lighting especially if its in the middle of the day and can block out that harsh mid day sun is so helpful.

Equipment

This was shot on a Canon 60d, with a 50mm 1.4 lens.

Inspiration

It's important to get a nice photo of just the bride on her wedding day. It's a big day and she's one of the main stars! So that's why I composed this photo.

Editing

Yes, I used Lightroom to edit this photo. Nothing too major though, just simple editing!

In my camera bag

Well I always have my Canon 60d and my 50mm 1.4 lens. I can honestly shoot with just those. But I have some external flashes, an extra lens, extra batteries and memory cards, and maybe more depending on whether it's a portrait session or a wedding.

Feedback

It really does just come down to the lighting. Make sure the lighting is great, then the photo is bound to come out great! Make some basic adjustments in Lightroom and you have a great photo!
