[Leica] Photographing your niece's wedding

[Sonny Carter]

A few years ago, my youngest daughter was getting married; they had hired a
photographer for the wedding but asked me to take candids at the
reception.

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.
