I've barely started editing the photos but these are a few from last night. It was a very traditional, very formal, arranged Muslim wedding. Both families are Pakistani. There were over 800 guests at the wedding. The beautiful bride was nervous as she dressed and spent most of the wedding crying quietly and then sobbing as she left her family to go with her new husband. I used the Leica R80/1.4 for quite a few photos and fast Canon lenses for the rest. It was pretty dark most of the time. For three nights, there were ceremonies lasting from about 6 in the evening until 2 in the morning. I'm exhausted! I could never be a wedding photographer! http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/wedding Comments and criticisms are appreciated. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
