I have been dying to do before and after shots of beautiful rooms and floral designs with and without lighting. Lighting is something most wedding couples feel is a splurge, a non-necessity, a luxury. Well, if you have invested in a gorgeous venue and event design then lighting is essential. If you have “splurged” on your photographs because you realize that is the only thing left for generations to come, then lighting is essential. Photography literally means writing with light. If there is no light, then the object can not be seen. Cameras do not adjust to light like our eyes do. A purple room looks purple in pictures, a dark floral arrangement looks dark in pictures. I have a ton more to say and I think I will bring in an expert to really talk about lighting but check out these 2 photos I took at the Please Touch Museum open house. One has the “standard” lighting provided by the PTM and the added feature of pin spotting. This is where they adjust little lights to add light to the centerpieces and highlight each table. The second has no pin-spotting. Now you can make a more informed decision.
Campbell Studios designed the front two tables, Beautiful Blooms designed the tall arrangement on your left hand side, Lighting by On Q Productions
This one has much more depth. You can see each arrangement on the table. When taking photos, guests will have some residual light silhouetting and adding dimension to their faces.
The room looks beautiful but the tables are lost. It is very flat and the arrangements that you spent a few/several thousands are black. No light for guests mean we have to use our flash to light them which is not so pretty.
