Sunny & Walt: A Halloween Wedding

by Jon on November 10, 2009

I had the pleasure of shooting Sunny and Walt’s wedding on Halloween this year.  You can view more images from the set here.  I wanted to share this photo and the setup information behind it.  I was shooting the formals on the back deck of their pastor’s house and trying to come up with something a little different.  They already had the masks, so I can’t take credit for that.  It had been raining and we were kind of limited to that little area which was somewhat dry at the moment.  So we did a string of shots with the exposure closed down to f/11 to darken the sky and my flash was at full power to get a more dramatic effect.  It just made sense considering it was Halloween, rainy, and they had those cool masks.

Sunny & Walt
Setup info:  F/11 at ISO 100.  Nikon SB-25 at full power with 43″ shoot thru umbrella camera right. I was literally laying on the ground to get the sky as much as I could in the background.
