There are a couple of different ways to deal with photographing a scene that is predominantly white, the easiest of which is to use the spot metering setting in your camera and make sure you take the reading from the bride’s face. This works in most situations because the light meter reading is taken from an area that is not solid or predominantly white. The second method is to shoot in Manual mode and purposely overexpose the image until the whites of the dress have detail, but look white and not grey, as in Figure 3-10. You do not want to overexpose the dress to the point where the detail is lost and the dress just looks pure white.

3-10

ABOUT THIS PHOTO If the exposure setting were determined by the camera’s built-in meter, this bride posed outdoors in a bright white dress lit by direct sunlight would have been severely underexposed, because the camera would have tried to average out the scene to an 18% gray. Taken at ISO 100, f/4, 1/250 second.
