Wedding - They Lit Up The Cross

They Lit Up The Cross

Normally I’m the one that tells my clients where we’re going to do our shoot. They’re hiring me based on previous experience, which is usually a result of me having some control over location, time, wardrobe, etc. (weddings are the exception). So when this young family said they wanted engagement/family photos taken around the Ventura County area, I offered up a few places (Paramount Ranch, Canada Larga Road, Ventura Beach, and some other spots I won’t tell you about). So when they insisted “The Cross”, my initial thought was NOOOOOOOOO!!! Yes, it’s a nice view of the city, but incorporating that into a photo with people in it is a different story. Plus, they had a 1 and 2yo to bring with them so… getting some individual shots alone was going to be a challenge. And it was. Even without any clouds I was able to include the Cross along with them using some off-camera lighting. I love it when a plan comes together. I also love a good challenge. Strobist: Nikon D4 Nikkor 17-35 f/2.8 SB800 triggered by Cactus V5 on Manual, 1/2 power camera right.
