When the Pilot Gets Married

You have a wedding reception at an airplane hanger at a flight museum with old functional planes scattered about everywhere.

I think the coolest part is that he's actually flown that plane. Though his day job is as a private pilot using obviously a different plane.

How it happened:
I was doing "detail" pictures and loving the scene… the father wanted a father-daughter picture and I thought this would be a good scene. But it required some light… so I ran and grabbed the flash and handed it off to someone at the wedding. I liked the picture so much I called over the groom.

How it was taken:
I took a picture of the background and exposed for it well… and then with the flash/softbox combo pointed in their direction with the person holding it just out of the frame I dialed in the right amount of flash to make the couple match the background.
Then in lightroom I darkened inside the hanger even more.

    Nice work on the lighting. Nice subtle reflections.

  6. Scott Jarvie says

    +Gene Bowker that was one of their comments "how did you get the reflection"?
    Because when they looked down at the floor it was certainly in no way reflective to them. But if you get at a low enough angle it does start to happen. The lady that runs events at this museum (in texas) was pretty shocked to see the reflection as well.
