This was one of the last images I took on the wedding day at about 12:30am. It was pouring rain outside, but I convinced my couple that if they went outside for one last image it would be worth it. I had my assistant stand behind them about six feet away with an off camera flash as the only light source. It created a beautiful effect in camera. It’s important that you never have your couple kissing or touching their faces together with a back lit image like this since the light needs to filter between them so light bounces off each other.
