What lights did you use for the last shot?

Looks like you have 2 lights across the room from each other, just curious how much power you needed...

Awesome set! Is the groom famous? He looks familiar....

Thanks everyone!! The lighting on teh last shot was 2 vivitars in the back of the room set to manual at 1/4 power and my assistant holding a monopod with a 580ex triggered via the new Mini and flex pocketwizard units to utilize ETTL.(Similar to the video I did on the pocketwizard site while in Vegas). (www.pocketwizard.com)

Thanks!

Kevin, you are great at what you do! If you ever have to shoot a wedding in Ghana, just call me and I will assist you happily :). In the mean time, I am considering getting some pocket wizards. Does that mean if I want to do a 4 light set up, I need 4 receivers and one transmitter? Cheers,

Does anyone have a clue about how he does the beautiful PPing? I'm not knowledgable enough or smart enough to even begin to understand the desaturated colors, sepia tone??? look to it all.

The one photo with the groomsmen at the stairs looks out of place. But other than that, all of your other photos are simply amazing. I'd say you're one of my top 5 favorite wedding photographers.

Wow KJ that is amazingly beautiful. You have talent and a great eye.

I have a question about photo E007. How did you take that photo? What lights, what f/stop, what shutter, HOW?
The blacks look so black, the whites look bright white, nothing is over exposed or under exposed. However it looks like the range is more than 7 stops. Am I missing something?

Thanks!!
