It’s no secret that I am a natural light photographer! I’m not the biggest fan of flash.
However!
I do not always have the option of shooting in natural light so I HAVE to know how to use my flash confidently and consistently!!
Today I am breaking down my 2-light off-camera setup for weddings and what I do to achieve the natural light look inside!
I have used this system for over a DECADE and I’m excited to share!
In this video I will teach you :
-my basic setup of my off camera flash + shoot through umbrella, bare off-camera flash and on-camera flash
-advantages of using 2 off camera flashes
-my placement throughout the reception to achieve the look I desire with off-camera flash
-the camera settings that I like to get that glowy look in ambient light
-And when it’s time to change up your placement of umbrella as the events shift throughout the evening!
If you ever get overwhelmed by flash, you’ll want to tune in today!!!
P.S If you are new to flash, you may want to watch my previous video on my simple flash setup I did awhile back using one flash setup! You can view that HERE!

Ever felt that wave of anxiety before a photoshoot—the kind that makes your mind race with thoughts like What if I freeze? What if I run out of ideas? What if my clients feel awkward?
When it comes to wedding photography, the right lens can make all the difference. But let’s be honest—gear can get expensive. So when Canon introduced the RF 85mm f/2.0—a lens with portrait, macro, and image stabilization capabilities for just $500—I knew I had to put it to the test.
Have you ever started a session, camera in hand, and suddenly felt stuck? Your couple is standing there, looking at you, waiting for direction… and your mind goes blank.
Have you ever tried to sit down with your spouse to talk about dreams, goals, and vision—only for it to turn into frustration or misalignment? If so, you’re not alone. Vision casting in marriage is hard because it brings up deeper fears, beliefs, and unspoken dynamics that many couples don’t even realize are at play.
Success—it’s a word we hear all the time. But what does it really mean? Is it about financial security? Status? Owning a dream home or taking extravagant vacations?
When you think about your business, do you see it as simply a job—or something more?
