Another wedding day with fabulous weather! Lorraine & Scott were married on the 26th of June at the Chelsea & Kensington Registry Office on the King’s Road in London. It’s actually the first time that I’ve photographed a wedding in a UK Registry Office and I thought the ceremony was lovely and made to be very personal and relaxed.
A routemaster – old-fashioned double-decker bus – transported the guests to the back of the Royal Albert Hall where we had time for a few photographs including the family group shots. Just a short walk around the corner and we arrived at The Gore Hotel for the wedding reception. A luxurious hotel in the very heart of London with the most spectacular reception room called the Tapestry Room.
Take a look:

Love this so much! Reflection in the mirror:

We reach the station Paris Gare du Nord, bought a carnet of ticket so that we can travel around in the city easily by train.
After jump out from train, it is still too early to check in our hotel. We then heading to a petite breakfast shop. Frankly, we are mad with the service of the waitress and lay a bad image on France People. The waitress is quite impatient, and is so rude. We knew that giving a tips in Euro country is normal but she is just taking coins from bf's palm without saying anything except merci thereafter. I will conclude her action as no manners.
Luckily we met some good people after that. I means those who are really willing to lend you a hand.
We then check in to our hotel after that, Hotel Wilson.

tripadvisor recognizes that some of their reviews are from hotel managers or competitors of a hotel. While they try to police this, it is really hard to do. That is why they often stress that what they are about is "the wisdome of the masses". So I think one of the first replies has it right: look at the bell curve, or the average of responses, don't waste time trying to read through all the reviews.
Another quick note is that tripadvisor is owned by expedia. But they do a very good job of maintainging independence from expedia, and so I think you...
