Cooling Towers? No, Cooling Castle!

It's so much easier when everything's labelled.

Getting into 'the zone'.

The dress.

The shoes.

Not so sure what these are but they look really comfortable (and also flammable.)

She's busy googling 'how to lace up a wedding dress'.

Hurrah, she's in the dress!

Good enough to eat at.

You can never have too many bridesmaids.

The entrance of the bride. Photographer poised to capture any stunt work.

1/200, f/2.2, ISO 100, ‒ ⅓ EV, 85mm f/1.2L II

Thankfully I didn't hear what was said. I'm sure I would have blushed.

A jaunty pose from the groom. I like it.

Yes, yes, I know you've seen this one before. But it says in the hire contract that top hats have to be thrown into the air if you want to get your deposit back. Honestly.

Camera to manual (this is about 3 stops underexposed for ambient light), flash to fill and groom to grimace.
