So yesterday's wedding was my first opportunity to finally get the chance to use the Halo Pack from Dru Dodd Photography

I'm over the moon to be creating something a little different by using the different variations of pipes.

I didn't have as much time as I wanted. We were waiting on the band setting up before the first dance, so we ran upstairs, grabbed some shots and then I set up my flashes with coloured gels. I used an AD200 and a V1. One light had a blue gel and other had. Red gel. I literally had a few minutes then we had to run down stairs.

I'm genuinely blown away at the results. Simple yet so effective! Can't wait to try more shots like this.
