Wedding Photographer Kent : The Inn On The Lake Hotel, Gravesend

Here we have Liza and Ben who I photographed in Gravesend at The Inn on the Lake Hotel. It was a day with no rain for a change, and we even had a gorgeous sunset when I took the couple aside for a portrait shoot by the lake, which generated some superb back/rim light. 
To my surprise, Ben made a grand entrance at the venue in K.I.T.T. - yes the Knight Rider car!   Clearly a fun couple who have been childhood sweethearts from what I heard during the speeches.  A great day for all. 
For the outdoor group shots I once again used my favourite lens the Canon EF 100mm F/2.8L Macro IS together with off-camera speedlite, Pocket Wizards and a silver umbrella (why silver?  because it is the most efficient outdoors and provides a nice sheen to the skin). I put the camera into manual, dropped the ambient light by a stop and half and let ETTL Flash do its thing and compensate as necessary.
