Reception Party Animals
March 8, 2010
I noticed that the wedding reception doesn’t get that much blog time, which is weird because the reception takes up 30-40% of the actual wedding day!!
So I did a quick check through some of my recent wedding reception party images and gathered together a few I would like to share.







So there you have it and like I always say, please feel free to comment… Especially those of you viewing this via Facebook !!!
And for the Camera/foto geeks: -

Hey these are great!! The reception shots are some of my favorites, people just let loose and there are so many expressions to capture.
I agree with the comments above, I would love to see more!!
Modern, Clean and Humorous! Great work.
Man….these people know how to get their groove on!!
I think I could find a few more… maybe make it a regular monthly thing… maybe… And I like your comment Brad Ross, especailly the “clean” part…lol
Looks like a great time!!!
Great stuff Robb. You’ve sure got some fun gigs. I like the new clean look around here too.
I looooooove receptions shots!! And I agree Robb, they don’t get enough love. Your shots are really wonderful, but I really really love that first one. Your b&w conversion is just perfect.
(oh and I am so envious of your 24mm! I think it’s my next purchase
These are great Robb! what kind of off camera lighting set up are you using?
This reception looks like tons of fun! You really captured the energy and emotion of it well.
Thanks guys, I appreciate the love !!
I would be interested to know your lighting setup as well, care to share Robb…??
My set-up is simple and I vary it depending on the location and the desired result.
Here is a quick run-down of the gear, and I will write a little something about how I use it in a future post.
I typically use the following gear and mostly in E-TTL Mode.
3x 580EX (mkI or mkII)
2x lightstand
1x ST-E2
1x 5DII & 24L or 50L
Images 1,3,4 & 7 are all using on camera bounced flash.
Typical settings are
Flash +1 stop
ambient -2 stops.
Images 2,5 & 6 are using one flash on a stand as main light and a second one on camera as fill.
Main light +1 stop
Fill light -1 stop
Ambient -2 stops
Sometimes I use 2x OCF controlled by a 3rd on camera or with an ST-E2… I like the flexibility
DUDE! (And I never say Dude but…) DUDE, These rock! Everyone looks like they’re having the best time.
Thanks Dude…
OMG I LOOK AWESOME!!!!!!! HAHAHA
Such a fun idea, thank you for th inspiration! LOL kilts = good times.
