Hot Day, Beautiful Bride, and a Sweet Harley

[MattDJ]

I recently shot this wedding near Richmond VA and let me tell you...it was HOT! I'm talking, lose 5 pounds just by walking outside hot. And the ceremony and reception were both outdoors so needless to say, I was drenched!

Here are a few images from that awesome day. There are tons more on my blog (http://matthewdejesus.blogspot.com/2008/06/frazier-and-lucas-saying-i-do.html) and even more still in the slide show (http://matthewdejesus.blogspot.com/2008/06/frazier-and-lucas-saying-i-do.html). Hope you enjoy it! ;)

Similiar to Tobiah-

1.) the blown out details I think impact what is a nice shot.
2.) i like
3.) i would've preferred a tigher crop on the hands... i
4.) really cool composition, just not thrilled with the PP... still very cool

All very nice...last one is a great idea :)

[MattDJ]

Awesome. Thanks for the comments all!! :-)

Yep. One could be spectacular. Burn the dress and driver down, back off a bit on the vignetting, or make it a smoother transition - currently it seems to be poorly executed, although I realize you were going for a look. It doesn't quite work, IMO.

The rest are really nice images, but I love the possibilities of the first one. Last shot is great! Could you redo #1 and post it back here? I'd love to see it!
