HANNAH LEIGH (hannahleighphoto)

Lighting is one of the most important aspects of any photograph, and wedding photography is no exception. Whether it’s the golden light of sunset, the soft glow of candlelight at a reception, or the stark brightness of midday sun, great photographers know how to work with different lighting conditions.

They can adjust their camera settings to make sure the couple looks their best, even in low-light settings or during challenging outdoor conditions. Whether it’s soft natural light or dramatic artificial lighting, the ability to manipulate light is a hallmark of great wedding photography.
