movie stars? i think yes.

i learned a new trick that i'm kind of excited about. i was a second-shooter at jessica kettle's wedding friday and she taught me this little lighting trick:

isn't that pixie dust behind them magical? it gives me butterflies. all i can say is this couple is ridiculously good-looking and it makes me happy.

very cool! do you care to share your new trick?

brooke: it was dark and we used a video light for back-lighting. pretty simple!

Brooke said...

cool. thanks for the info. I feel stupid asking this, what's a video light?

Kelli said...

haha, don't feel stupid at all. a video light is a stationary light that can be attached to a tripod. it's another form of lighting to be used instead of a flash, etc.
