A wedding ceremony is a once in a lifetime event, so recording it for all future generations is of the greatest significance. One of the most vital elements of photography is the lighting. The lighting is what will determine the mood of the photograph… whether it will be dramatic, playful or serious. One particular tip that my friend has told me with the wedding lights is to make sure to use soft light. One of the basic rules in photographic lighting is that pictures taken in diffused light will be softer and have fewer shadows, while harsh, direct light will create deep shadows in your picture. Wedding portraits are generally taken with soft light, so making use of lights like Christmas lights or any other soft lights would give a lot of justice to what is being presented. I thought it would be wise to let my friend do the photography coverage of my wedding in two weeks. He knows a lot about photography and even video capturing since he has his own studio and he made it a living for a few years now. He should be able to give us the best coverage there is and I will be very proud of him.
