Met Laura at GPP in Dubai a few years ago when we were both on a McNally course. Never would have thought I'd end up photographing her wedding but hey, things happen! She called me up about 6 months ago to see if I'd be willing to travel and I said yes. Really fun day, only wedding I've ever been to where I both started and ended it in the pool!
It's a good thing that you went to that McNally course in Dubai because knowing McNally I'm betting that he covered "how to light an elephant." Looks like it paid off!
