Behind The Lens

Location

Outside a country club at the wedding exit

Time

It was late at night very dark outside.

Lighting

I used a canon speedlight on the camera and the light from the sparklers. from left of the couple you can see a little light from the porch but there wasn't much else.

Equipment

Canon 5d mark iii Canon speed light 600RT with a gary fong modifier, lens was a 50mm 1.2L

Inspiration

wedding exits are fun and I usually at some point ask the couple to stop and kiss. Trying to get bokeah or flair around the couple. Hopefully if you have enough guests and they do it right you'll achieve a similar vision. In this case I loved how she grabbed him for the kiss. Very romantic

Editing

Yes I went with a warm glow and feeling for classic look

In my camera bag

my 5d mark iii and a backup camera. 24-70 2.8L, 70-200 2.8L, 50 1.2L (lens I use the most) several flash modifiers I like the rogue flex and the gary fong most. 4 canon speed lights

Feedback

It is all about timing, space, and one thing you can't control the guest. Make sure the batteries in your flash are fully charged before the exit. You'll need a fast recycle time and a lot of power depending on how dark it is. I usually move with the couple walking backwards because I like my 50 open wide. But there are some safety risk to this. If you think you may get hit with a sparkler don't. In this case the crowd was well behaved and there was enough space to make sure I didn't bump into a sparkler. If not I would have used my 70-200 2.8L IS and stood at the end of the line.
