For a photographer, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.\u00a0 Good because there is plenty of light and noworry about rain, but bad because it was so bright that squinting and shadows\/bright spots become a possible issue.<\/p>\n<p>Very pretty place for photos, and fortunately we did not have too many others there at the same time to act as photo bombers.\u00a0 The three of us walked the gardens for about an hour, looking for good spots for photos and getting to know each other a bit.\u00a0 Kerry and Hau are really nice guys, and I enjoyed our time together.\u00a0 I&#8217;m really looking forward to the wedding in September!<\/p>\n<p>More photos by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomellisphoto.com\/blog\/\">exploring my blog at this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img
