[Leica] My Kid's Wedding.....

[s.dimitrov at charter.net (Slobodan Dimitrov)]

Enjoy the day. Just take personal images for yourself. Even though dad 
(s) pays for the wedding, it's really the women's show, with a lot,  
and I mean a lot, of 'don't go there' areas.

Hire someone you don't know to keep it professional.
