A selection of photos from Susannah and Paul's wedding, photographed at Deal Town Hall, beach and pier on Wednesday. Please check out their wedding gallery.
1/40, f/4, ISO 1000, ‒ ⅓ EV, 35mm f/1.4L
The polished surface of a grand piano made a nice background for a shot of the rings.
Negative exposure compensation (EC) deals with the predominantly dark tones.

Deal has a very fine town hall.

With such a dramatic sky it was the ideal opportunity to use my new Pocket Wizards.
For the above shot I put the camera into manual mode and set the shutter speed to the X-sync speed (in the case of the 5D Mark II - 1/200). This gives you access to your flash unit's maximum power output whilst minimising ambient light. Once the flash unit uses FP-mode the power output drops to 1/3.
5D Mark II's without a sluggish shutter can sync at 1/250 and 1/320 with PW's hyper-sync mode but it doesn't work with my set-up.
I set the ISO to 50 and then tuned the aperture to give an effect that I liked. It started looking interesting from f/11 but I plumped for f/14.
I also dialled in -1 stop of flash exposure compensation due to the predominant dark tones in the background. Canon's E-TTL II algorithm often struggles in this situation.

Susannah and Paul were fabulous fun and up for everything - check out their beach-exiting strategy!

A sky like this is begging for the HDR treatment.

Before leaving for the wedding I twittered that we might need to rope down the bride!
