Inside The Magic Gardens [Rf Photo of the Day]

Photo © Mike Allebach

Mike Allebach got a special treat when he photographed this bride and groom in Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens. According to Allebach, this area—a mosaicked art gallery by artist Isaiah Zagar—is open only to wedding couples and their lucky photographers.

To light the scene, Allebach started out using off-camera lighting, “but the result was flat and unappealing,” he recalls. “I ended up using the track lighting in the ceiling to illuminate them. Sometimes the simplest setup is the best solution!”

(Shot using the Nikon D700 and the Tokina 11-16mm lens at f/2.8.)
