Wedding Cake Photograph in HDRWednesday, July 22nd, 2009

Wedding Cake Photograph Created with HDR

Wedding Cake Photograph Created with HDR

I love real wedding cakes – I understand the economics of having a “stunt cake” or a fake cake where only part of the cake is real for the cake cutting ceremony. However, real cake is so much more tasty.

This cake was a carrot cake covered with real blueberries, strawberries, and currants. It was a little tricky to photograph – it was so dark and backlit. I photographed it several ways – with an off camera flash, with natural light, from outside looking in. This particular photograph was stitched together from 9 exposures and put together using HDR (High Dynamic Range).

I then edited the photograph to have a more film look – digital looks to perfect sometimes – and imitating film gives things a unique look.

Log Haven in Mill Creek Canyon

Log Haven in Mill Creek Canyon

What defines a wedding in the memory of your guests? Obviously the bride and the groom – and then it would be location location location! Everyone will remember where you were married and what it looked like. And they will remember where you hosted the reception.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding in Log Haven in Mill Creek Canyon in Utah. The only downside of this location is the lack of cell service – everything else is world class.

While the wedding party was eating – and I really don’t like photographing people eating – it is a bit embarrassing to people – I took the chance to photograph the location and I used a photographic technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range) to capture all the gorgeous detail.

Bride and Groom during a break in the rain

Bride and Groom during a break in the rain


Rain does not mean a wedding is ruined – far from it. The original plan for this spring wedding was for a backyard ceremony, however, rain clouds and rain were strong. So we moved the wedding ceremony indoors and we made it work. The ceremony was beautiful! Lavendar was the color and scent for the wedding. As a wedding photographer it was unique – this was my first wedding were the ceremony was in English and Hungarian.

Sunset glows on the wedding couple

Sunset glows on the wedding couple

Photographers often avoid any kind of flare in their photography – and usually for good reason. But in this case the sun beams and the flare is so awesome. The golden sunlight catches the groom and bride in a kiss.

I was a second photographer for this wedding and I was so lucky to work with Heidi of Retrospect Studios. I love photographing with fellow photographers.
