If you’re a wedding photographer and we ever happen to meet, be warned: I like to ask questions. Actually, I’m like that with most people I meet — I’m a naturally inquisitive person (again, be warned) — but with wedding photographers, my curiosity ratchets up a notch.

Overall, I would have liked to have a got a better selection, but it was good to try something different and have a few shots to look back on in the years to come.
