My first order of business when I arrive on location is  to start scouting the light. Yes, settings, backgrounds, waterscapes, architecture… they’re all hugely important, but a gorgeous backdrop is nothing without the right light. I love finding a spot underneath a big oak tree with just the perfect amount of diffusion and light speckling, or a big covered front porch reflecting light from multiple directions! And I love  love love finding that perfect oh-so soft backlighting which can be rather elusive. I’m editing away at Pembry & Pedro’s lovely Bray’s Island wedding, when I just wanted to share this gorgeous shot, which was taken after our “bride + groom” shots while we were walking back towards the reception. I love the way the evening light is hitting the arching Spanish Moss!
