When you hear a photographer say “time exposure” it means the photo took longer than a usual snap-shot to create an image. The shutter of the camera is intentionally released slowly to allow the light to enter the camera. This will result in anything moving to blur. This image was created on Broad Street in front of city hall Philadelphia. The bride and groom had to hold still while the camera took the time exposure. While they were standing there, I flashed some light at them to brighten them. What a result! Beyond the ordinary results.

The day was 3.14.26 and I photographed an elopement. The ceremony was in front of this make shift backdrop, which was simply a sheet over a circle ring, like a table. Immediately I thought it looked like a huge soft box, so I put two remote flashes behind it and made it so! The bride was a film director and the groom, an actor. It just felt right to do this with them!
