Sheesh Matt! I am just loving your light in these! Especially the reception shots. Very excellent work!

mmmatt

Thanks Heather. The reception stuff is all bounce flash and most everything else is ambient. Tiny bit of on camera on the formal shot.

p.s., matt, you might need to edit the title to wedding. Not weddi9ng.

Thanks Ted. I thought you might like that one or 5. I noticed my fat fingered bonus 9, but can't change thread titles here. Maybe ang will pull her nose out of lightroom and fix it for me, though if I am uber busy she is uber x2 I'm sure, so nbd.

Beautiful work, Matt! Love the through-the-window (or fence?) ceremony shot in particular, but all of them are excellent.

Well thanks my little blue friend! I think you mean 3, and that was through a wrought iron railing. Tough part is getting heads to line up in the openings. Not such a big deal here since they are backs of heads mostly, but still important imho.

Matt, #2 is perfect! The whole set is nice, but #2. is. perfect.

mmmatt

Thanks Kris! In case anyone is wondering, that is a reflection shot from one of the makeup ladies compacts. I wanted to try to set up a shot with each of the girls in a different compact mirror but it would have taken forever and we just didn't have the time. It was, of course, crunch time at the end.

Liking these, I just wish I didn't have to wait until the end of July for my next one

Great lighting indeed!!

Sorin

Beautiful, really nice lighting. I am partial to #6

mmmatt

Thanks guys! 6 is simply natural light. I may have put a tiny vignette on that one in post, but mostly that is just what the church windows gave me.

Finally finished this one up. My second was supposed to do the preliminary processing for me but he stuck me with it all and it took forever....He tilts, and burst shoots both of which mean lots of post work for me. He's lucky his exposures, and lighting, and eye are top notch!! He is not an understudy by any means. He has hundreds of wedding under his belt and was my mentor early on.

Here are a few from him first and then a few more of mine to kind of complete this set.
