Tina,
The riot of colour is overshadowed by the mood of the bride and I thought
that very sad. That I saw no evidence of a lack of light must be down to the
skill of the photographer who overcame that limitation.
Incidentally, 'Tina Manley' in the from box and a URL is all you need to get
my attention :-)
