Wow - I love those! Particularly the 1st three. How did you light them - they're really amazing.

Good stuff Leo-- question about the pics. Some are obviously shot with flash/very dramatic! On others the effect is subtle but wondered if you also had an off camera flash firing to make the pictures pop.

This one for example...

I love your stuff where you flash the couple but under expose the background - now I have pocket wizards I will be ripping you off..

Tell me, do you use an umbrella or softbox?

I would love a post on how you are achieving looks 1 and 3. I know it is off camera flash, but a few specifics would be really nice.

Actually 1 is all natural light. It was around 6:45 pm and the sun was behind me. It was perfect light! Too bad the groom wasn't in the mood to get any more of just the 2 of them. This location was so awesome, the wheels were turning while I was shooting, the bride was loving it and then all of a sudden the groom says "I've had enough I gotta go drink!"

Pic # 3 was taken in the shade. the sun was to the right of me and I used my Gary Fong Lightsphere with the cover on,(pointed directly at them) on my 580 EXII set on ETTL.
REally not much post on this one. Soften the skin and sharpen.

It really is soo much easier when you shoot in the right light.
