#artofthesecondshot

I thought I'd share a behind the scenes image of what it takes to make a shot sometimes. I took a few nice images of the shoes but really wanted something dramatic to showcase them and was having a tough time in the hotel lobby. I decided to try something different by creating a sliver of light through a chair back with my off camera flash. I loved the final result. Sometimes you have to take a moment see things differently. Shout to @lucky_lane1221 for the lighting assist!!!

People often (OFTEN) ask why I carry around my bags during an entire wedding. This is one example. See that other photo? (go look, two over from this one➡) these were taken less than a minute apart and I was able to get the entire view of the rooftop with one lens and off camera flash/attachment and then bring the background closer once I swapped out to shot with my 70-200 and grabbed a different diffuser for my flash. A couple should be able to enjoy as much of their day as possible! Let's help them do that. #elizabethbirdsongphotography #ilovemyjob #artofthesecondshot (at 1111 Studewood Place)

Something I tend not to do is take wedding pictures with my phone, but for this one I was a groomsman #iphoneonly #iphone6 #artofthesecondshot #wineglass #weddingphotography (at Inn at Leola Village)
