NO FEAR

Most photographers would be freaking out losing their minds to think of an outdoor ceremony at noon in July on a clear day. Add to that the fact that the couple is inside a gazebo and everyone else is outside the gazebo.

Either the couple is exposed for thus blowing out everything outside the gazebo or the outside is exposed for and the couple is engulfed in shadow.

Today I hid a flash inside the gazebo just above the entrance facing the couple and got a perfect exposure on them as well as the outside of the gazebo!

I was absolutely thrilled! Honestly though, without trying to toot any horns or anything, it's just that kind of quick thinking and split second finagling that you hire a professional photographer for. This right here is what separates professionals from those who just go out and buy a cool camera and call themselves photographers.
