I wanted to give you a starting place to begin shaping light in a way that feels natural to you and walk you through the exact tools that I use when I approach a wedding day.

Lighting doesn’t have to feel intimidating.

Once it clicks, it becomes one of the most creative, freeing tools you have.

This guide is designed to take you from feeling unsure and overwhelmed, to walking into any wedding day or session knowing exactly how to handle the light in front of you

If you’ve ever felt like:

– Flash feels confusing or intimidating
– Your photos look flat or inconsistent in bad light
– You rely too heavily on natural light (and panic when it disappears)
– You want that editorial, intentional look but don’t know how to get there
You’re in the right place.

For real wedding days.

Inside the Guide

The Foundations

Understand light in a way that actually makes sense:

  • The Exposure Diamond (including flash)

  • How ambient light and flash work together

  • Manual flash vs ETTL (and why I made the switch)

On-Camera Flash

  • How to shoot direct, bounce, and diffused flash

  • My exact settings and starting points

  • How to get that editorial, “vibey” look I’m known for

  • Dragging your shutter (and making it look intentional)

Off-Camera Flash

  • Simple, repeatable setups that actually work on wedding days

  • My go-to one-light setup (used in 90% of scenarios)

  • How to create depth, dimension, and mood

  • Real examples with exact settings and placement— Former Customer

Plus: my go-to one light off camera set-up, a note on film, hand-held flash, and so much more!

“All of the visual examples of different flash lighting really helped me hone in on what I wanted to use for wedding days. I found it intimidating at first at weddings with all the pressure so I would think back to your setups!”

— Katelyn
