That's what I had at my wedding... a guy I met at the Hasselblad service
centre chewing them out about a strobe. I looked at his portfolio on the
train home with him, and it was good, so we gave him carte blanche at the
wedding. He shot a combo of 35mm monochrome and some 6x6 colour neg, with a
couple of 'staged' shots but most of it very candid and some even Martin
Parr stylee. The family really loved it amd I was glad I did it.
