Cliff Mautner’s Dynamic Location Lighting Seminar

Cliff’s seminar was 5 hours in length and focused on how to capture the best images in the difficult conditions wedding photographers are faced with most often–dark, dramatic, moody, romantic reception venues that look gorgeous to the guests but can make it hard to truly highlight the best of the evening’s celebration. We got to play the bride and groom, complete with convention ID badges, but the knowledge we gained was invaluable!

Some of the takeaway messages of the seminar were key:
-how to turn bad light into good light
-gaining a better understanding of light quality vs light quantity
-using light to create texture, dimension, and mood
-being able to see three dimensionally to improve composition

We are truly excited and inspired to use the skills that Cliff taught at the seminar for our upcoming wedding commissions, and can’t wait to see the images we’ll create!

A big thumbs up to our buddy Aaron of Aaron Spicer Photography in Virginia for taking these photos while we were at the seminar!

Well, what a party! We had the honour of being Jamie & Matt’s official wedding photographers this past weekend in Carleton Place. Jamie has been Ivanette’s esthetician since we moved to Almonte and has become a great friend since. Matt and Jamie have been together for seven years, so when he proposed to Jamie last October she called us to make sure we were available for her wedding. Matt is a volunteer fireman with Carleton Place, and well, us firefighters can sure throw a party! I’m sure the good folks over at the Carleton Heritage Inn are going to need a break after two firefighter weddings in a row!

Here are some shots from Jamie & Matt’s wedding:

So it seems the boys had a little difficulty getting ready and had to rely on Jason’s expert knowledge to put them together!

Jamie and Matt had a wonderful service held at the Carleton Place United Church, where lots of laughs were had in a gorgeous relaxed ceremony!

After the ceremony, Jamie and Matt made their exit in first class, aboard Carleton Place’s ladder truck complete with lights and sirens! There were many congratulatory honks as they traveled up the main street…

We had a great day over at Riverside Park with lots of fun formals!

Once dinner was over, it was time to party, and Carleton Place’s Ocean Wave Fire Company sure knows how to get a party going!

And of course to finish the night off, the members of the Ocean Wave Fire Company had to gather in to get a photo with the gorgeous bride!
