Light Chaser: How to Capture the Magic of Wedding Day Lighting
Hello again! Light is everything in photography, especially when it comes to weddings. It can transform an ordinary scene into something magical. Today, I want to share my secrets for capturing the best light on your special day.
Why Light Matters
Light sets the mood, creates depth, and adds emotion to your photos. Understanding how to use light is essential for creating images that truly shine.
My Guide to Chasing the Light:
- Golden Hour Glory: That soft, warm light an hour after sunrise and before sunset? Pure gold! It’s perfect for romantic portraits with a dreamy glow.
- Natural Light is Your Friend: I love using natural light whenever possible. Finding open shade (like under a tree) gives you beautiful, even lighting. Reflectors can also work wonders to bounce light and fill in shadows.
- Taming Harsh Sunlight: Midday sun can be tricky. I use diffusers to soften the light or find shaded areas to avoid harsh shadows.
- Indoor Illumination: Low light indoors? No problem! I use off-camera flash to create flattering light and adjust my camera settings to capture the ambiance.
- Nighttime Magic: Don’t be afraid of the dark! With slow shutter speeds and creative use of external flashes, I can create stunning night shots that are full of drama and romance.
The Result?
By understanding and manipulating light, I can create wedding photos that are full of emotion, depth, and beauty. Whether it’s the soft glow of the golden hour or the dramatic shadows of a nighttime shot, I’m always chasing the light to capture those magical moments.

Materials
We’ve been working on perfecting bioplastics that feel good, wear well, and compost when you’re finished using them as a phone case. You’ll find the same great material in our iPhone Bio Case.
Our bioplastic is verified to meet U.S. (ASTM D6400-04) and E.U. (EN13432) standards for compostability. It means you can toss your case in the city compost bin when you upgrade your phone.
