This is actually from about 2 weeks back July 17, 2010. I had been booked for the wedding about 2 months before by a wedding planner who I had worked with before but on different photographic service (baby shower). We had to negotiate a bit and build a custom package that could suit her client’s needs and budget.
The pro’s in the situation was its a small wedding, And i can soooo do this
The cons were, Its in montego bay and i live in kingston and do not own a car, Its on a a saturday and I had the photojournalist day job thingy to do, I dont own a car.
With the help of a good friend @stewpert who travels between kingston and montego bay regularly I was able to call in a fav for a mobay run for the day, I’ld handle food and gas for him. dude agreed and everything was ready. My backup for the wedding was already booked @9970000 of IMGwire. We left kingston at approximately 7am and were in montego bay by about 11 or 12pm.
Got to the location which was beautiful may I add, and scouted for locations to shoot the formals and so on. The wedding was set to begin at 3pm but you know how these things are, left the shoe, left the ring omg my hair etc.. we were about 2 hrs delayed. during that time we nailed some decent preparation images and detail shots. Once the actual ceremony was underway the rest was history, Formals were done in under 30 minutes as it was a small group and I ensured i moved quick before people started getting restless. Here is my favourite image from the bride and groom formals.
We went off camera for the formals, kept it smiple though 1 light above and directional, very soft lightsource and the rest was history, think i went as high as 1/2 power at one point the recycle times were bearable though so it all worked out. didn’t even need a lightstand, had @9970000 hand holding the light and that worked out perfectly.
I think i left montego bay about 9pm that night.. after grabbing a wendy’s double to stuff my face as I was unable to eat anything substantial all day Wendy’s… yuuuumm 
. Oh for the rest of the images please follow through to the gallery
:’(
Totally love this picture , its appears as if they were modeling for a mag cover. The lighting is good… Love the work GT. Keep it up
I gather the light was infront and above to evenly light both subject? What if you have shifted the light slightly left? In my head it becomes a bit more intriguing as there would be more emphasis on the woman, which is usually more interesting subject…
Correct on light placement, I’ll have a go at varying the light on my next attempt of anything similar to this.
