Signing the Wedding Register

Here we see the groom, Dean, signing the wedding register at his wedding back in September. I used natural sun light coming through the wonderful stained glass window over his left shoulder. Before the wedding I had asked the priest when was and wasn’t appropriate to use flash photography. Although he said that it was no problem to use flash at this point, I felt it was more gentle to use natural light. Obviously this meant using a higher ISO, something my newer camera would have handled much better. That being said, a little digital noise / grain can add to the feel of a photograph, especially when converted to black and white as in this example.
