Congrats to Darren and Lucinda !  Another beautiful morning and a blooming tree that went with the wedding colors!

This is the 3rd wedding I've done for Lucinda's family!

       I would like your opinions on the picture above and below. It is the same picture but different effects. The one above is right from the camera and has a haze and flare from the sun . The one below I played with the contrast and added a soft white vingette.
