Shooting darker skinned weddings can be challenging. Remember, black absorbs light while white reflects it. So, darker skin tones need more light while white dresses reflect light. In this case the groom was in a white tux as well. The challenge is exposing for the skin tones without blowing out the dress and tuxedo...
This particular case was even more challenging because our groom's skin tones we're much darker than our brides. At some point you have to just split the difference and use a lot of fill.
This is my favorite shot from the day. I combined strobe with a hot light. f/2.0 - 1/125 - iso1600
f/3.5 - 1/1600 - iso500
1/200 - f/3.2 - iso1000
Trying some new techniques with shooting the dress. What do you think does it work?
