Think Outside the Aisle

Last month was just the craziest month I’ve had all year. I shot this wedding in between trips to Chicago. I actually came back just to shoot the wedding. It was really my pleasure to make it back. Caity and Brody were the sweetest couple to work with. Their love and respect for one another was immense. It was obvious they both felt that they had won the ultimate prize by marring each other.

My only complaint about the day was the horrible lighting in the church. I’m a jpg. shooter but I switched to raw for the ceremony. The overhead lighting was pink and orange which is a photographers white balance nightmare! I also added a side light to give some separation and more light to the already harsh can lighting. At the last minute I was given the unexpected invisible boundary speech by the church staff and told if I crossed it they would stop the ceremony. Come to find out I was only allowed in the aisle which for me is not my favorite place to be. I made it work by going outside and grabbing a few shots through the window so the couple would have more than one view of their ceremony. Think outside the aisle is what I say!
