An important aspect of shooting weddings that a photographer has to take into account is that often they will be taking shots in relatively low light. Inside a church is a great example of this scenario. To the eye it seems that there is plenty of light but camera's are far less sensitive to light than the human eye. Added to this, I am often asked not to use a flash inside the church or place of worship by the presiding officials. As this is a concern for some clients I thought I would share with you some images taken in a very dark church in Leeds. I had been asked not to use flash on this occasion. What I did do was use specially designed, high quality (and very expensive) lenses that allow more light into the camera and make the most of the available light.
This is also important for civil ceremonies too as registry offices and hotel / country house locations are rarely well lit. The registrars at these ceremonies often allow flash photography but if it is possible I prefer to use natural light for the ceremony as it reduces harsh and artificial looking shadows.
The result of the way I approach this is very natural looking images I hope you will agree.
