I had the privilage of photographing Ed and Kristen’s wedding at Ngawi on 11.11.11 As much as I could, I used a documentary style. Despite the pressure and responsibility, I really enjoy wedding photography as they are special occasions and the resulting photos bring so much joy to the people involved.
