Melanie & Lee's Wedding at Celebrations at the Bay

April 23, 2010,

Melanie and Lee had their wedding at The Celebrations at the Bay. Melanie was a beautiful, happy bride. A joy to work with. It was a wonderful wedding.

Below are a few images of their wedding.

I started with Melanie at her MOM's house for hair and makeup. Her hair was done by Jamie from Baltimore Bridal Hair & Makeup. Her makeup was done by makeup artist Angela Papa. I must say I was very impressed with Angela as she stayed with Melanie all day. She did a wonderful job with Melanie's makeup. I met up with Steve, my second shooter at Celebrations. The weather was beautiful. Blue skies and lots of warm sun. Since this was a noon wedding ceremony we have the sun directly over head. Not the best place for photography. But, I was able to make it work with my new Quantum trio in the bright sun as a fill light. Outside the trio worked great because of the power it has. And inside during the reception, since there was a large window for natural light I was able to keep the exposure at 5.6 the hole reception. Nice clean light that was TTL to my camera. With the SC battery was able to shot fast and it kept up. I found when ever possible I bounced the light of the ceiling for best results. I wish they had a softer flash cover like a Gary Fong sort of adapter.

Equipment: All Canon Cameras. Steve has his own 1D mark III with a 70/200. I had a 1D mark II w 24/70, 5D with 17/40, 5D mark II with 16/32, 1D mark III w 70/200. 580 flashes along with the trio.
