We get a lot of Japanese weddings around our famous harbour, and one day I saw a 3 person & 1 fancy car photo event: bride, groom & female photographer. Pose, snap, move along, pose, snap ... anyway, they looked like they were enjoying themselves.

A friend's recent wedding was the most comfortable & fun wedding I've been to since my sister's wedding in 1989.

At the time my friend was planning her simple fun day, a colleague was watching her bride friend going thru hell looking for the perfect shoes to hide under her perfect dress ... Big money wasting event that the bride was too freaked out from work stress, mortgage stress & wedding planning stress to really enjoy, but I'm sure it was picture perfect.

The pics from my sister's wedding were perfect - 100+ folks in the park, females all wearing yellow plastic "Pam's bridesmaid" badge, males wearing "John's best man" badge, 8 year old guest wearing white tulle & veil cos she wanted to be a bride, her mum in yellow tulle, my other sister in 1950's ballerina length afternon dress with her semi-tame parrot on her shoulder ...
