I could tell from their photo shoot that Isaac and Marissa are perfect for each other. They will have a wonderful life together, I’m quite certain of it.
This was the first photo shoot that I had an assistant/second shooter with me. I was accompanied by Mandi. To be honest I worked Mandi pretty hard with lighting gear and she didn’t get much of a chance to shoot, but she said she had fun anyway. She managed to get a few behind the scenes shots that are up on her blog. The 12th image in this post is the exact moment that she took of me as I was standing on a garbage can to get the shot. Hey, you gotta use what’s available sometimes.
The lighting on the last two shots was kind of fun. It was done with two strobes triggered with PocketWizard IIs. We worked around this sculpture for a while. Arrived after the sun set. Isaac and Marissa wanted to get some photos taken there. It is a sculpture just west of the Centrum building at SUU. One strobe is behind the couple, slightly to camera right. The other strobe is being held by Mandi just to the right of Isaac’s head and bounced off the metal sculpture to light their faces.
