Bride & groom lived in Robin Hoods Bay & wanted a photo of them the sea & the cliffs.... they chose a spot & we took the shot... it was OK though lacking a little umph, I thought... I saw the street, the backdrop & said I'll catch you up I've just got to change a lens.. I fibbed.. I waited for them to do something & captured on of my most commented upon photos - its in my photos here.
