Stacey - Hi Melissa! Thanks so much for all these posts - it's so nice of you to share! I have an outdoor, candlelit CEREMONY coming up this October and would love to chat it through with someone if you ever have a minute :-) Have a great week!

stephaniekaren - I am bookmarking this blog post! Thanks Melissa for posting the amazing details about working with off camera lighting! I feel so lost at times when it comes to producing the same quality of images with a flash as I do with natural light!!

Elise - So, I'm one of those overwhelmed (and eternally grateful) people just getting caught up -- I just read through all 11 parts of this series. Thank you so much for your insight, and for writing it in ways that low-light lovers lacking years of hands-on experience can understand!

Rachel Tatem - Again I deeply appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me, yep, just me... no one else can read this... right ? ;P

rich - these articles are amazingly helpful - thank you SO MUCH for sharing!
