Farmers Image Of The Week: Champagne Spray Wedding Photo with Flash

This utterly gorgerous Champagne Spray Wedding Photo is this week’s Farmers Image Of The Week. It is a festive delight from the talented Emma Lawson. As we enter the celebration season, this image of a couple popping champagne perfectly embodies fun, joy, and the high-energy spirit of a wedding day.

Champagne sprays have become a popular trend in wedding photography this year, and Emma’s version is a masterclass in how to do it right. The use of direct flash is key here – it freezes the movement of the spray, turning the flying droplets into a shimmering arc that serves as a leading line straight to the couple. The way the spray hits the edge of the frame and transforms into a wave-like pattern creates visual interest and keeps our eyes locked onto the joyous scene.

What sets this image apart is the context. Emma wisely chose to shoot wide enough to showcase the couple’s stunning venue, adding depth and a sense of place to the photo. This choice not only tells a richer story but also ensures that her gear stays safe from the champagne spray. After all, while these shots are great fun, you don’t want to risk your expensive equipment by getting too close!

The couple’s excited expressions and body language radiate pure happiness. You can tell they are fully immersed in the moment, and that’s a testament to Emma’s skill in creating a space where her clients feel comfortable to let loose and have fun.

This image is a reminder of what wedding photography is all about: celebration, energy, and creating memories that are as joyful to experience as they are to look back on. Cheers to Emma for this vibrant capture!

Why This Image Works

– Use of Flash: The flash freezes the motion of the champagne spray, transforming it into a dynamic visual element.
– Leading Line: The spray acts as a leading line, drawing the eye straight to the couple.
– Context: The wide frame captures the venue, adding depth and context to the shot.
– Energy & Fun: The couple’s expressions and dynamic pose capture the excitement of the moment.

This image is a wonderful example of how planning, technique, and creative risk-taking can result in something memorable and impactful. What’s not to love about a celebratory champagne spray?

THE TECH TALK

Champagne Spray Wedding Photo with Flash: Farmers Image Of The Week

This isn’t the type of shot I’d usually take with this lens, but since we were about to head into the dancing – and this is my go-to focal length for that – I decided to go super wide. With my second shooter covering the 50mm, I took the chance, and I’m absolutely thrilled with how it turned out!
