Springs days like this, which follow a few days of spectacular and seductive hints of the summer ahead, can feel a tiny bit discouraging. But sometimes I love shooting on on these kind of cool, grey days.
There is still light. It’s a softer, quieter light. It’s lovely – and flattering. Even though we photographers can talk ourselves dizzy about light – the light from a soft grey spring sky is quite lovely.
And while we wouldn’t shoot entirely outdoors – it’s here inside with us, this soft and lovely light. It’s mostly indirect flirtations, peeking in through windows, bouncing against light walls, spilling in with a whisper.
With indoor weddings, carefully positioning the subjects, using as much of that soft lovely window light as I can before I pull out the flash.
Above are a few images I shot at the Chatham Bars Inn last fall. Outdoors, it was windy and brisk. Indoors, it was gorgeous!
