Matt and Amy’s wedding was absolutely wonderful! I just had to post a few images as fast as I could! To all of you who were a part of their day…it was an honor and pleasure to meet with you all and to hang out!
Many more, including the proofs, will follow with detailed descriptions and such…
The best to you both, Mr. n’ Mrs. Bradshaw!
What a fantastic day! This excitable crew seemed like one big happy family and I felt like I was just another sibling or cousin added to this mix. The day was filled with so many beautiful moments … tears and kissing and laughing and jokes and friendship and love and joy.
Yes, it did end up raining during the only time block we had for group photos, but nonetheless, it was an awesome day! Joel and Jessica were undeterred and full of smiles and kisses…and more smiles!
Jess and Joel, thank you for letting me be a part of your day. I truly am stoked to call you my friends and I can’t wait to hang out again in the future. Many blessings on your first year, you guys!
Great stuff Dustin! Looks like you guys had a blast and you put those presets to good use.
What a beautiful wedding! These two are just absolutely adorable, and the photos turned out fantastic. You should all be thrilled with them. Nice to see you posting again, busy boy! 
Dustin these photos are awesome. LOVE the weather in the background. it adds another layer of depth to already rich photos. to the newly married couple - congratulations! ya’ll look so happy together!
Great to see you posting again man! Awesome images, they just pop with vibrancy.
Yay for Steller Weddings! Beautiful photos…Keep ‘em coming.
I love all of these. The shot of the wedding rings on the car handle is such an awesome idea. Very cool.
My burning hot couple from a few weeks ago got married! The celebration took place in a very small town in a small country church just a little while ago. The occasion was celebratory and joyous with big family, big laughs, and big hearts all around!
The weather was slightly overcast and miserably hot — stifling even. Everyone trooped around outside for photos and a few unique opportunities arose…trains, planes and automobiles…without the planes part. The church sat a few hundred feet from the busy train tracks of Strasburg. We crossed them for the boys’ photos. When we did, we saw this rocking car rumble by…we flagged him down and borrowed the restored black ‘69 Camaro for our shots! Too fun! Later, we flagged an oncoming train down. Okay, we didn’t flag it down, but it did stop not too far from us while we were shooting the couple’s photos and then started up again and we got to watch it leave. Awesome!
Michael & Christina, I look forward to seeing you guys again soon for your proofs, but in the mean time, here are some fun teasers!
The radiant lacy dress!
Bad boys for a bad boy car!
Michael, Michael, Michael…peeking at his lovely bride’s hand prior to the ceremony. Special moments!
Can you see the train coming?
The very last one, I promise!
Wow great stuff! I really like the last one, standing on the rail road tracks with the aged effect. Nice!
That first car shot could be some sort of movie poster. Excellent work!
Outstanding Dustin! Great PP too.
Amazing work man! I love your post processing!
Well, it’s not very often that the groomsmen pictures outshine the rest of the pics, but in this case….they rocked! I love the three of them and I bet your clients are going to be very pleased. Oh and I LOVE the moment you captures with the peeking around the corner, her face just says it all. Beautifully done, keep up the great work. Kathy

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…everything about this wedding is just gorgeous! They look like a fun bunch, and I have no doubt you all had a great time.

Fantastic work as always, D!
