Formal wedding portrait



Here's my formal portrait shot of Richard and Marion, who got married at the local Baptist Church recently. This is lit by a mixture of ambient light and on-camera flash, swiveled to bounce off the wall and ceiling. This softened the shadows on the couple's faces, while still giving good definition. The space at the foot of the stairs was a bit cramped, so I had to use a relatively wide angle setting - I would have prefered to stand further away and zoom in a bit. I put in quite a bit of work in Lightroom in post-processing, removing flaking paint and softening the background to de-emphasize it. Canon 60D with canon EF-S 28-200 at 28mm, 1/100 sec at f/5.6, ISO 1600
