Ask a Pro: How Do I Get The Perfect Shot?

Q: I have a wedding coming up that I’m shooting in October. They are doing it about 2 hours before sunset on a shore cliff. How do I properly expose them without using flash or washing out the sky behind them during the ceremony?

A: That’s a tricky situation. Either the exposure will be right on the subject (with a blown out sky) or the sky looks great and you have under-exposed subjects. An idea might be to process each image twice. Best
