Just like mix and match outfits one can have today, this allowed for you to have options in how to wear your garments. <br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed the photos! I think for me, it's a combination of what grabbed my attention and what I was able to get a decent picture of...between the light fading and the low light levels inside the castle already, it was difficult to photograph. Really, it emphasizes that a place like this is best in person. Sara has some incredible night photos, I can't wait to see more of them once she's settled!bridgetwhoplaysfrenchhornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944714770867649886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830794313843245107.post-26831310971302419782013-09-05T05:31:03.343-04:002013-09-05T05:31:03.343-04:00Slammerkin?
