Capturing the Magic: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Our Creative After Dark Wedding Photos
Weddings are all about capturing beautiful moments, celebrating love, and creating memories that last a lifetime. And what better way to preserve the enchanting atmosphere of your big day than through the lens of a camera? At [Your Photography Studio], we're known for our creative sunset and after-dark wedding images, and it's all thanks to a fantastic team effort and some pretty cool gear. Today, we're pulling back the curtain to give you an exclusive look at how we create those iconic wedding photos that you'll treasure forever.
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
When couples carve out time in their wedding day for creative after-dark photos, it's like music to our ears. These images become more than just pictures; they're works of art, and they wouldn't have been possible without the help of an amazing and fun wedding party, our talented second shooter, Beth Eggert, and a few helpful wedding guests. It truly was a team event, and we believe the results speak for themselves.
Let There Be Light
Creating the perfect after-dark photos requires more than just a good eye and a camera. It takes the right equipment to capture the magic. For these iconic shots, we used a total of three lights: two rim lights with colored gels and one key light with a MagMod MagSphere. These lights worked together harmoniously to cast a soft, flattering glow on our subjects while adding a touch of color to the scene.
*Gear Used:
MagMod's innovative tools helped us shape and control the light precisely. The MagSphere, in particular, was a game-changer, allowing us to achieve a soft and even light source, perfect for dreamy wedding photos.
To create that ethereal, dream-like atmosphere in our photos, we relied on Atmosphere Aerosol. A few well-placed spritzes of this magical spray added depth and intrigue to our shots, turning them into pure works of art.
Gels are essential for adding a pop of color to the scene, and Rogue Flash Gels were our go-to choice. They allowed us to create a mood and ambiance that perfectly suited the couple's unique style.
Canon 600 ex rt II (x3)
Our trusty Canon speedlights played a pivotal role in providing the necessary illumination for our after-dark shots. These flashes offered the consistency and power we needed to make every moment count.
To control the lights remotely and with precision, we used the Canon Speedlight Transmitter, ensuring that every shot was picture-perfect.
Of course, all these creative tools wouldn't be complete without a top-tier camera. The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is a reliable workhorse that delivered stunning, high-resolution images, even in low-light conditions.
The Magic in the Smoke
But what about that captivating mist that adds a touch of magic to our photos? It's not a secret potion or a special fog machine; it's simply cans of liquid atmosphere. A quick spritz of this atmosphere aerosol creates a beautifully mystical haze that elevates the entire scene, turning a regular shot into something truly extraordinary.
So there you have it, a behind-the-scenes look at how we create our creative after-dark wedding photos. It's not just about the gear; it's about the teamwork, the creativity, and the vision that come together to make these moments truly unforgettable. We hope you've enjoyed this peek behind the lens, and if you're planning your big day, consider setting aside some time for creative after-dark photos. The results are nothing short of magical, and we'd be thrilled to be a part of your special day.
