Tama, wedding day

Big Tama, a Samoan man in his 40s, a former rugby player turned florist: 6 foot 5, huge and broad, warm smile, black hair tied in a top bun, full traditional Samoan tatau covering one arm from shoulder to wrist, wearing a white T-shirt, dark jeans, brown work boots and a sage-green canvas florist's apron with secateurs in the pocket. Talking to the camera in his florist's shop while he pins a flower to his lapel, ties his top bun and tucks his secateurs into his apron.
