I have to admit that I am now try­ing to pho­to­graph wed­ding with just an one light only.  I used to carry portable stu­dio light­ing kits (Elinchrom Ranger) with me along with an assis­tant all the time.   Since I recently moved to San Anto­nio, I don’t have any assis­tant and I have to shoot with­out any help.  I now also use more zoom lenses  (Canon 17–40 and 70–200 2.8 is)  than prime lenses (Canon 35 1.4L and 85 1.2L).  In this wed­ding, I actu­ally was a sec­ond pho­tog­ra­pher for Emma (Pal Photo Art).  First image, I used two nikon sb-26s trig­gered by pocket wiz­ard.  Yes, two strobes but it they are con­sid­ered to be one light source.   Both full power (1/1) on cam­era right.  My cam­era body was 1D Mark III and shot at 1/400 @ F14.  Also used 1/2 CTO to really sat­u­rate the back­ground color.  Speak­ing about the back­ground, Red­Berry Man­sion was one of the most beau­ti­ful venue I’ve ever seen.  Lake & pool in the back­ground was really cool.  Slow recy­cle time since I was using speedlites but groom and grooms­men didn’t mind after I showed them this image.

I noticed the unique entry door of this venue when I first walked in.  I decided to back­light the bride and broom to cre­ate some dra­matic look.  I used canon 580 EXII with pocket wiz­ard mini and flex tt5 to quickly pull this image.  I didn’t have to think about any of the expo­sure of the strobe.  The new pocket wiz­ard is pretty good at fig­ur­ing out right amount of flash out­put.  The only thing I have to think about is the; aper­ture, shut­ter speed, and ISO.  Sounds com­pli­cated but it’s very easy.  Shot with Canon 5D Mark II
