Nothing sets the mood better than candle lit rooms or low ambient light. Some of the greatest moments in weddings/events take place in these settings. It’s really important to have a photographer that can shoot and adjust for these types of moments. Furthermore, nobody wants to flip through a bunch of dark and under exposed pictures. The simple solution would seem to be the flash, yet a flash can overexpose and produce harsh lighting on it’s subjects. Plus, if the moment is intimate sometimes a flash can distract or take way from the mood. I recently shot some photos at a church where a flash could not be used and the lighting was low to set the mood. So I adjusted to the low light and exposed for my subjects face and the results were fantastic. The photo below really says it all. I was able to capture the mood and emotion by adjusting to the environment. When looking for a photographer make sure he/she is able to shoot excellent quality photos in all situations.
