Gordon Nash -- Wedding photographer (U. S. A. )
I shoot about 50 weddings a month, and nearly half of my images need a Nikon Speedlight. I always have one on my camera, with another ready for side-lighting or other handheld effects. For the above image, I used one SB-800 for side-lighting and a soft-focus filter on the lens for a dreamy look. As a professional wedding photographer, I face moving subjects, unpredictable shooting situations and limited prep time, so speed and intuition are vital to my success.
