For the HN crowd that likes random behind-the-scenes details:
In the photo, the sun is low and behind them. This makes great rim light--and looks fantastic through the veil--but it also means you need to use strobes or a reflector to light their faces.
It's probably a reflector, gold side up, something like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/justin_fotog/6018934549/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/justin_fotog/6018934549/
They're super glare-y to look at; it's kind of hard to keep your eyes open and make any kind of normal face...
- xxbondsxx 14y agoIt's really common to see people squinting / looking horrible with reflectors. I would guess a flash because Priscila looks quite relaxed, and most wedding photographers work without assistants.
- cdcarter 14y agoI would guess that a Zuckerberg wedding afforded a second shooter and/or assistant.
- matthew-wegner 14y agoYeah, I wasn't sure here! You can usually tell based on the highlights in the eyes, but the photos I found weren't high-res enough to tell. Apparently it was a surprise wedding, and they didn't even tell the photographer until last minute: http://fstoppers.com/zuckerbergs-photographer-also-caught-off-guard-by-wedding http://fstoppers.com/zuckerbergs-photographer-also-caught-of...
