Good thing, because the moment I saw the "Wedding Photographer" shoot her first image, bouncing the flash off a third story ceiling in the Hotel's indoor garden, I knew problems lay ahead. I grabbed my camera and asked if I could make some shots after she took hers. Turns out that NONE of her pictures were usable. So happy yours was a pleasant experience.
