Indoor Bridals at Friend's House-Off Camera & Natural Light

I am experimenting with natural lighting and 2 flashes, one on, one off camera with umbrella bounce. The bride was very nervous, not liking to smile much, and to call attention to herself. It's a skill to get the bride relaxed and ready to go. I envy models. Enjoy.

1. Flash work

Very nice. Love the first and last one.

They look good Suzie. Nice location too. Where is that?

Thanks. Do you think the decorations are too much? That's what I'm working with. We had bad weather today and this house is more beautiful than most hotels. So, I really wanted to use the house for future shoots. The shiny piano is really a plus, and the light comes through 3 of 4 walls. So, it's usually spectacular for lighting.

Here's one with the piano reflection:

Suzy,

These are really good. Sharp, vivid colors, and great lighting. I liked the shot from above with the Bride on the couch best of all

Yeah, she finally relaxed at the end.

See you tomorrow. Bring an umbrella. I'm only going to use my 5D with 24-70 tomorrow. It's too hard to change lenses in the rain. I'm bringing a big umbrella too.
