has anyone here shot at Castle Ottis before?

We just found out this is the location of a wedding coming up in a few weeks and just wanted to know about challenges. There is no electricity here so we have to rely on complete natural light. Frrom the photos on the site, it looks like there is plenty.... Its located in the Jax area of florida.

Wow! I can just begin to imagine the possibilities!!!

For the no-electricity part, you can always use off-camera flashes... Battery powered portable light, as I like to call it ;)

Wait a minute... no electricity? How about the blue lights in the pictures? Powered by a generator? Ghosts :evil: ?

Nah, I can't really complain... We're pretty spoiled in the national capital region :D Chateau Laurier, Chateau Montebello, ranches, maple farms (gotta love maple trees in autumn!)

But I wouldn't mind having another castle like Ottis in my area :D

We shot the same thing about the blue lights. However, we have verified there is no electricity so it had to be portable lights or something...who knows. Anyway, we do shoot there on the 21st of March....Middle of the week wedding at a castle...Fun!
