Photographer's Comment

The poor groom! A hot August wedding in Virginia is HOT, especially when you come inside from doing portraits and get thrown into the madness of a wedding reception's garter belt and bouquet toss right away. He was genuine in his gesture, not showing off for the guests or camera right above his bride. I am challenging myself with better and different ways to shoot the wedding reception traditions, and sometime getting a new perspective is just one element of making that happen.
