We took the lift up to the main gantry walkways and took some fun wedding portraits among all the surprised tourists.<\/p>\n<p>From the City the excellent Blue Badge taxi driver took the couple and I on a whirlwind tour of London. Bryan our guide made the day a genuinely fascinating experience by pointing out and explaining the extraordinary little known history behind all of the London land marks we passed or visited over the course of the day.\u00a0 We managed to fit in visiting Tower Bridge, the South Bank, Shakespeare&#8217;s Globe, St Paul&#8217;s Cathedral, The Millennium Bridge, Chinatown and the West End.<\/p>\n<p>Kat and Paul were the most friendly couple and the wedding day was a joy to photograph. I needed to travel light that day so for each mini shoot I used two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.douglasfry.com\/interesting-information\/leica-cameras\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leica cameras<\/a>, with three lenses only, keeping the spare one in a pocket. It meant I could run ahead, scout a location, come back to meet the couple frame the image without being encumbered with my usual kit.<\/p>\n<p>To see all the images taken on the day please visit this
