Photo Booth Time!
Wow! What a great time with the photo booth this weekend. Meghan and Brad threw a great event. We enjoyed the gardens and Putt Putt golf. I ended up 16 over. Not too bad considering the tricky corner shot on 10.
The happy couple
I wanted to do something special for Meghan’s portraits here. I originally thought that I would rent a ring light and try to do some fashion-type shots, but the ring lights that I found for rental were too underpowered and would not have worked well in groups. Instead, I set up the lighting to give a standard portrait if you stood a certain distance from the camera. If you leaned in, you got beauty or clamshell lighting and a slight overexposure which gets you here:
Having fun with the bride
A little more glamorous, I think. As you can see, Erin was in the wedding this time, so I didn’t have her much needed help. To set up the shot, I set a 45″ umbrella right above the camera and a large foam core board on a high angled table directly below the camera. The lens is set to 26mm. When a guest leaned in, not only did they get the clamshell lighting, but the slight wide angle distorted their faces just enough to make it interesting. We had a good time with it. More shots below.
You can see the whiteboard in his sunglasses here.
