As a wedding photographer, I love receptions because this is when the atmosphere of the day changes completely. The formal part is over, everyone can finally relax, and the celebration truly begins. There is laughter, music, hugs, champagne, spontaneous conversations, happy tears, and so many little moments happening at once. For me, a reception is […]

Why I Shoot Weddings Without Flash — Even in a Dark Reception Hall Flash is the easiest tool in photography. One button, instant light, no shadows, everything visible. But I almost never use it at weddings — even when the reception hall is dim, the dance floor is dark, and the only light comes from
