With dark oak walls there's very little reflected light about. There was therefore a huge tonal difference between the lit and the shadow side of the cake. Hence the HDR shot.

Simon, the groom. Must clone out that annoying twig top left. I should pack some secateurs in my camera bag in future.

I found a really beautifully lit spot and, fortunately, Simon and Penny were willing to trudge through the muck to get there.

I don't often employ 'Dutch tilt' but I felt it worked with the backdrop here.

1/60, f/1.4, ISO 500, ⅓ EV, 35mm f/1.4L

A magic moment, quite literally.

In response to the best man announcing that this was not the first time he'd been asked to serve as a bridesmaid.

Definitely a soupcon of Bill Bailey here methinks.
