Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at a golf course wedding. We were driving around the course and had to pass through a tunnel. Of course we stopped.Time
This would have been in the afternoon, but it could have been anytime as it's always dark in there.Lighting
I positioned the couple under one of the tunnel lights. I wanted to get some texture on them and the wall.Equipment
Canon 5DII and 85mm lens.Inspiration
Most of the photo spots on the golf course are picturesque landscapes so I wanted to contrast those images with something more urban and gritty. I loved the curve of the tunnel and the texture on the corrugated iron. The hard metal contrasts nicely with the soft billowy curves on her dress and flowers.Editing
I processed the image flatter than when I shot, reducing the tonal range and colour palette.In my camera bag
For weddings, I would have 2 Canon bodies, a 24-70 zoom, a couple of primes and at least one speedlight.Feedback
Try not to overpose couples - let them do their thing. For weddings I feel hand placement is extremely important as it really helps show connection.
