    100 Techniques for Professional Wedding Photographers - Bill Hurter (Homage within: “Michael Costa is an award-winning photographer who graduated with honors from the world-renowned Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA, receiving the coveted Departmental Award in the Still Photography program. He started his successful business with his wife, Anna during his last year at Brooks.“)

    The Best of Photographic Lighting - Bill Hurter

    Master Lighting Guide for Wedding Photographers - Bill Hurter {Excerpt: This is an example of a modern formal portrait—it doesn’t even show the face of the groom, but concentrates on the gorgeous surroundings of the couples’ wedding day. Michael Costa used flash fill in the waning light to keep the bride and groom at the same exposure settings as the twilight sky. The expression of the bride—a big old belly laugh—makes this image a huge hit.}
