Weddings in May in Melbourne are always fraught with the
potential for a mix of weather, unless of course you are given an entire day of
gorgeous light, or endless drizzle. Thankfully, Rachael and Reuben’s wedding
was a mixed day, with little in the way of drizzle to worry about.
Tash and I love to work with flash, and we love to work independently
of each other while simultaneously uniting to collaborate on the images and the
ideas. One of us will usually shoot close with a wide angle, and the other with
the 70-200 – usually at 2.8. For many of these images, I was connected to the
flash via PocketWizards. The flash was fired through a white umbrella, often
with a CTO gel to warm the image, contrasting it with the rather cool daylight
that was given us that day.
For their wedding formals, Rachael and Reuben managed to
obtain permission to use a heritage listed homestead used for the movie, NedKelly, and it was a wonderful location. I would have loved to have had more
time – indeed, an entire day – to fully utilize this secret part time movie set.
