I met up with my friend Patricia today to check out the basement of the salon where she works (Celebrity Hair on 105 St and Jasper, you should go see her because she is awesome!) and we did a little Rock the Dress session. It’s fun to experiment with lighting and non-traditional locations. The elevator in the building is just awesome with old scuffed hardwood floors, wood grate and brick walls surrounding. Patricia worked a pretty traditional looking dress, but the photos are far from traditional! We had some fun with a big chunk of tulle that looks awesome in the photos! We ended he session in the very scary pitch black boiler room. The only light in there was the flashlight that I was using to light the session. It was so quiet and creepy down there and then every so often the boiler would roar to life! Was scary, but totally worth it because look at how awesome the photos are!
Just a reminder that you don’t need a pretty building and trees and flowers to take awesome wedding photos!

Lovely, almost scary, images in the elevator. You did a great working with the shutter speed to create the images in the elevator. The images in the boiler room are also equally impressive, work on your rule of thirds and you will have a great set of photo’s every time.
