1/3200, f/1.8, ISO 50, ‒ ⅓ EV, 35mm f/1.4L

It could have been designed for this.

Working in the chain gang.

The sun was shining mercilessly but fortunately the registrars brought the couple into shade where the light was more forgiving. This phenomenon is known in photographic circles as the gazebo effect.

The top lip is quavering...

1/2500, f/2.8, ISO 200, ‒ ⅓ EV, 105mm, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS

...and he's already succumbed.

1/1250, f/3.2, ISO 200, ‒ 1 EV, +1 FEC, 27mm, 16-35mm f/2.8L II

The ceiling of the gazebo was stained wood and not ideal for bouncing flash. I therefore put my camera on a flash bracket, fitted with a Speedlite and a Lastolite micro Apollo diffuser. I don't use it that often but it's very handy to have.

1/200, f/4, ISO 200, ‒ 1 EV, 35mm f/1.4L

Notice the negative exposure compensation (EC) to correct the exposure for the dark tones.

1/1600, f/1.2, ISO 200, ‒ 1 EV, 85mm f/1.2L II

I found a wonderful natural light sweet spot.

1/640, f/1.6, ISO 200, ‒ ⅓ EV, 85mm f/1.2L II

Again, just natural light.

1/320, f/1.6, ISO 200, ‒ ⅓ EV, 85mm f/1.2L II

1/800, f/1.2, ISO 100, 0 EV, 85mm f/1.2L II

And now time for the speeches.

1/500, f/2.8, ISO 400, 0 EV, 85mm f/1.2L II

When hands are gripped you know that tears are going to follow.

1/80, f/5, ISO 400, 0 EV, 85mm f/1.2L II

What did I tell you.

1/200, f/2.8, ISO 400, ⅓ EV, 35mm f/1.4L

The father of the bride panting with the exertion of speech-making.

1/160, f/2.2, ISO 400, ⅓ EV, 35mm f/1.4L

This young lady is taking no prisoners.
