  • Of Wedding Photographers and Squirrels

    A little (Wedding) Nature Guide

    Of Wedding Photographers and Squirrels

    And what they have in common

    Squirrel at Work

    The wedding high season is about to begin. And so the average wedding photographer is leaving his wintering grounds, where he has spent the off season with his gear acquisition syndrom and discussions in the web with wedding industry colleagues.

    Time to illuminate a special wonder of nature: the parallels between wedding photographers and squirrels. The Red Eurasian Squirrel to be precise.

    So what do wedding photographers and squirrels have in common?

    First of all, both of them look pretty nice and cuddly (at least some of them). They work hard, are very nimble, can hide well and if necessary they climb fantastically.

    And both are dependent on working a lot in summer so they won't starve to death in winter. Because despite their cute looks and all the love they put in their work, squirrels are, after all, mainly concerned about the nuts.

    Gathering the winter supplies

    What the nuts are for the squirrels, for us wedding photographers are the weddings. And they both become rarer and smaller in winter. Of course there are weddings in winter. And yes, winter weddings are unbelievably beautiful. Only - just like nuts - there are far too few to bring the whole wedding industry over the cold season.

    In the end it's always about the nuts

    Wedding Photographer at work

    Saturdays in the wedding season

    So it's easy to explain why we wedding photographers try to save the great Nutdays er Saturdays during the high season for larger wedding packages. Usually there are minimum booking times of 8 hours on Saturdays during that time of the year. Although this may be unconvenient for many bridal couples it's a reasonable decision. We just have to gather the nuts.

    Because as we know from Game of Thrones:

    Winter is coming.

  • Wedding at Weidenmuehle Winery

    Rike & Björn

    A Wedding at
    Weingut Weidenmühle in Flörsheim

    Relaxed Summer Party in the Rhine-Main Area

    Wedding at Weingut Weidenmühle

    I have been looking forward to the wedding of Rike & Björn for a very long time. These two have done everything to prepare a very chilled wedding - many dear people, a cozy location, a lot of relaxed mood, good atmosphere and a touch of boho.

    It all starts in Wiesbaden for Getting Ready. Rike is next door at the hairdresser, while Björn gets ready in their apartment and right afterwards sets off for the wedding location, the winery Weidenmühle in Flörsheim.

    Very important: Björn, do not forget the rings!

    The wonderful old apartment shows no sign of the little misfortune that happened just yesterday while Rike and Björn have been preparing the gifts for the wedding guests.

    Note to myself: When mixing green sauce pesto, make sure that the mixer is really well closed. #greenwalldecals

    Wedding Dress with Boho Flair

    Ready with her hair and make-up, Rike is already expected upstairs by her wedding dress upstairs - a dream in lace, vintage, boho or whatever. I have no idea of ​​fashion, but I simply love this dress!

    She's on her way

    Immediately after dressing, we head off to the location, only 15 minutes away. The Weidenmühle is a pretty little winery, right in the middle of Rhine-Main area and yet like a small holiday in the South. There the wedding guests are already waiting - and a visibly nervous groom.

     

    Free wedding ceremony in the gardens

    The wedding takes place in the shade of an old tree in the spacious garden of the Weidenmühle. The branches provide shade and help against the summer heat. From a photographer's point of view, of course, a pity as there are crazy shadows on peoples faces, but it's definitely good for people's mood. So in a wonderful ceremony, accompanied by vocals and guitar, the two finally say YES.

    Reception with picnic atmosphere

    After a walk through a sea of ​​wedding bubbles a delicious Naked Cake awaits us in the courtyard of the winery and the team of the Weidenmühle care for everybody with their great service.

    Big and small guests are making flower wreaths and in one corner speed-artist Waldo draws great caricatures. There is juggling, painting, playing or just dozing on picnic blankets in the hot summer sun.

    Wedding photos around the winery

    The more than 10.000m² large area of ​​the winery Weidenmühle is a paradise for wedding photos - in any weather.

    Harsh sunlight like today is great for the wedding, but not so funny if you are shooting wedding photos in the afternoon - one of the reasons why I always like to split the portrait session. With a few photos after the reception you are already on the safe side and have the freedom to do some freestyle stuff in the evening - ideally at sunset and with the best light. Just like today: In the afternoon sun we have a walk around the winery which offer countless beautiful possibilities for wedding photos.

    Show cooking and a few more wedding photos at sunset

    In the evening there's show cooking in the barn waiting for us. Wedding on Weingut Weidenmühle means excellent food. It's as tasty as it looks. Though as a photographer you usually won't get between the bridal couple and their food, but when for dessert, the sun is slowly settling, you'll have to take them out into the field and to the vineyards. This is when the Rhine-Main area actually looks a bit like Tuscany.

    First Dance, G & T and Party

    Back in the Weidenmühle, Rike and Björn finally rock the dance floor. A great live band, atmospheric lighting, some gin & tonic and of course party-savvy guests do the rest to make the evening a whole lot finer.

     

    I can highly recommend weddings in the Weidenmühle.
    Thanks taking me there!

  • What is a Photobooth!?

    Ultimately, the Photobooth is just the logical continuation of the golden picture frame that could be found a few years ago at almost every wedding. Studio flash, camera, remote trigger and a lot of crazy accessories - beards, sunglasses, wigs - these are the ingredients for a successful Photobooth

  • Rainy Day Wedding Photos

    Wedding Photography Secret #4

    Rainy Day Wedding Photos

    Why bad weather is a chance for your wedding photos rather than a threat

    Bad weather is not a bad thing. At least not for wedding photos. Okay, you probably think, "Sure, that Mr.Brautrausch with all his Irish weddings. It's always raining in Ireland so he's just used to that." That's only partly true. Sure, I do a lot of Irish weddings. And yes, Ireland has quite a few rainy does. But weather changes frequently during an Irish day. And often enough you'll just have to wait a few minutes in the pub for better weather. Not a bad thing, isn't it? But over here in continental Europe we are more consistent. Less time in pubs and slower changing weather conditions. So we depend on other solutions.

    In terms of wedding photos bad weather is quite easy to handle. Compare it to an outdoor wedding ceremony for example - that will loose a lot more of it's charm when you move it inside. With wedding photos the need to improvise is an opportunity to be incredibly creative. Seeking for rain-safe alternatives will force you to leave your own comfort zone and create something new. Even just looking for a new location is inspiring: Be it the darkly lit indoor location, the bus stop next door or something else with a roof. There are wild experiments with flashes and artificial light - photos that would not be taken in good weather. Get out into nature under dense trees or just go for it with an umbrella. Or just without it...

    Wedding photographers are not afraid of rain.
    Rain is afraid of us.

    wedding photography secret #4

    Be daring! You're equipment is able to do that. And so are you. The only real risk is the couple's mood. If the bride and groom just see their dreamy sunset photos swept away by pouring rain, some psychological skill is needed. But remember, even your couples are not made of sugar. And with a cool couple you can safely plunge into the adventure. It is worth it ..

    Here are two examples from last weekend. Completely rainy and sun already gone. The two (as well as myself) were completely wet afterwards. And happy. And this happiness was real. And it will persist.

    Wedding Photography Secret #3

    Whitebalance from Hell

    Colourful LED Light and Wedding Photography

    Evening time at a random wedding. There's a lot of light set up for the party mood. Everything looks beautifully colourful. But then...
    That nice colourful light confronts wedding photographers with some challenges when it comes to postproductions. Wheras conventional spotlights get their colours from coloured filters, LED lights work differntly. Filters are designed to allow light with a certain colour to pass through. But other parts of the colour spectrum are not completely blocked. They are not as prominent, but they are still there, making the pictures still usable for correction.

    #3

    If your sliders for temperature and tint in Lightroom have reached their limits at 50.000 and -150 it's clear:
    The DJ gave everything with his LED lights.

    wedding photography secret #3

    Colourful LEDs just don't have a full colour spectrum. Already white LEDs (which are in fact either a mix of green, red and blue ones or a blue one bent to yellowish) don't deliver consistent colours. With LED light is certain colours it's even worse. Their spectrum is usually extremly narrow and other colours do simply not exist in that light. That often leads to horrible colours and to banding and loss of definition while trying to correct that in postproduction.

    The example below is still quite comfortable, as it can be corrected quite well, just using the temperature and tint sliders. They are at their limits though. If I had wanted more I'd needed to take more extreme measures and work with the RGB tone curves from there on - a lot of effortless work for a party pic. Luckily there was no banding in that picture - with single red or blue LEDs that would have been worse.
