(click here for video quickimte 1.6mb)

Hambleden, Oxfordshire
the first dance at the wedding of some very old friends. seeing so many faces that had drifted into memory only was pretty overwhelming.... i'm not usually a big fan of weddings but this one was beautiful... sending my love to ricky and charlotte

well... i debated cutting that bit.. but that would have been dishonest.. i just hope it doesn't detract from the moment too much, it was beautiful.. really

I saw this on omn.org. I liked the video, but I agree, the reach down broke the illusion.

The ass grab really went home with me (what can I say, I'm an assman). I felt that it was a part of what the vid was expressing. Love and romance on multiple levels.

But what do I know. I just play an assgrabber on TV.

I like the simplicity - and the way the music and visual treatment carried the moment along. I wonder if I would have noticed the "grab" if no-one had mentioned it, actually.

I didn't notice it either. But now that it has been pointed out I still think its an absolutely beautiful video. Cheers

what a terribly beautiful image...firey and tender all intensely apparent in just those few moments...i don't think a bit of it should be cut..

How beautiful. And love is physical too, so the ass-grab (which, of course, I didn't notice anyway!) just makes it more beautiful.

Nice one.

i just did a wedding dance video too, how funny. i didn't notice the ass grab either, must go watch again.

Nice piece. The ass grab didn't break the illusion for me at all. It was a good entertwinig of romance and lust. I actually barely noticed it until I looked a second time after reading comments here.

Duncan,

if the vlog doesn't catch on and earn you millions of pounds and world-wide noteriety, at least you've got a future as a slo-motion wedding photographer!

And the side-projects, too. Slo-motion graduation parties, slo-motion barmitzvahs, slo-motion babtisms, slo-motion golden wedding anniversaries... there's almost no limit to what can be made dreamy!! :-)

I didn't notice the grab either. I thought it was the people from the top of the wedding cake! I'm tired.
