Reducing the ambient exposure by 2 stops recovered the background from the highlights. My Speedlite had to work hard to provide suficient fill-flash in high-speed sync mode at f/4.0 but it managed it since I was so close to the subjects.

Exposure compensation preserves highlights and shows off the lovely blue sky.

Strong exposure compensation to preserve highlights in the dress and FEC to diminish those shadows on their faces.

Whilst taking candids during the pre-prandial drinks I tried to get as many shots with the sun backlighting or sidelighting subjects - much more flattering.

Fortunately I spotted some soft-lit areas in the gardens for portraits.

Hey David
How do you obtain EV adjustments of -4/3 on some of these pics - I can only see a range of -/+ 2 EV? I assume you mean -1 1/3 in fact? Just to be clear.
Thanks!
Hi Josh,
That's correct. -4/3 is equivalent to -1 1/3 but it takes up slightly less space to write!
All the best,
David
