Rachel & Nolen got married last Saturday at
Olbrich Botanical Gardens in
Madison, WI. It was a medium sized ceremony with a reception across the street at The East Side Club. The proximity of the two locations and the fact that the
wedding was held at a botanical garden setting made it easy for me to get plenty of great shots without spending a lot of
time traveling with the couple. Rachel and Nolen booked me for four hours of
photography, so efficiency was called for. It was a nice wedding, and a great party. Rachel and Nolen sure know how to cut a rug. Since the ceremony was inside with strong back lighting I metered for the correct exposure of the subjects (I don't use flash on ceremonies) and set the camera to a manual exposure of F/5.6 at 125th/sec at iso 400, then left it there for the ceremony. Later it was necessary to increase the contrast slightly in
Photoshop to overcome the softness caused by the strong
backlight coming through the windows.
A note: if you put your camera on maual as I did here don't forgot to it back in auto mode when you're done ;-)
We had a nice brief walk throught the gardens and then on to the reception
All in all it was a another beautiful wedding day. And Rachel and Nolen got their photos in less than a week, thanks to the
modern age of
digital photography. Terry
