Katherine & Gilbert.

We like it when two genuine good and beautiful people get married.
These wedding pictures were taken at night and the great thing is that we got a more natural look.



 Whenever we shoot a wedding in the Hilton's, we get so excited, we have photographed so many weddings up around there. It’s just so beautiful and perfect to celebrate a marriage up there.

Low light.


Shooting at low light levels can be impressive but you can run into a few problems that you might have not considered beforehand. Typically when shooting hand-held your shutter speed can’t be allowed to drop below 1/60th of a sec, unless you’re in a situation where you can burn off a number of shots in the hope that you’ve held the camera steady enough in at least one photograph to be acceptable.



Slower shutter speeds are possible and you will happily shoot all the way down to 1/30th of a second without any camera shake blurring your shots.




However, subjects’ movement became an issue and you might have to override, switching to AV mode to ensure a slightly quicker shutter speed.

Details.


 Wedding photographers we always keep an eye out for any small details that make a wedding distinctive: flowers pieces, table decor, the bride’s corsage, the groomsmen’s boutonniere, etc. 
 Getting close and/or zooming in narrows the depth of field considerably which means that some regions will not be in focus, it is effective, but it also means taking a number of versions to ensure that you can then pick the best one during post production.

About Filters and an easy 'Soft focus technique.'



Filters are ideal help to reveal different points of view, although now we have a lot of software that might have turned them obsolete. Dirt, greasy fingerprints, water marks and scratches reduce the image contrast and the sharpness, which can result in blooming at light sources and have an effect similar to a soft-focus lens. 

An added benefit is that their filters remain free of dirt longer, so that they do not have to be cleaned so often.  :)
