I grabbed one of my speed lights out of my bag and then ran over to the bride and groom, I asked if it was ok to get one last shot, they said sure! We went outside the barn, I gave the groom the speed light and told him to point it up facing the umbrella, I got back took the shot and then bam! I couldn't believe what just happened! It worked! I was yelling inside my head! lol

I ran up to the bride and groom with excitement and showed them this image, they became just as amazed as I was!! All it took was a just few minutes and a little thinking to create what I thought was one of the most epic wedding day images that I have ever taken!

I started using ocf lighting "off camera flash lighting" because I instantly recognized a huge difference not only with lighting but also the quality of the images that I was producing.
As you see below, I met with this couple near sunset at this amazing cotton field location. I was standing about 40 feet away from the couple and my lighting stand was only a few feet from them when I captured this image. My main goal is separating the sunset light and the lighting illuminating the subjects to give this image a professional pop!

As I always say, lighting is everything!
