Archway kiss

Were they really standing there? It looks like they were photoshopped onto the Church background, especially around the groom ... His suit looks too light and the black doorway looks too dark ... it's a total giveaway. I'd change the vignetting so that it's not right around the arch, too ... it looks kinda funny.

Too much photoshopping, but otherwise pretty good. Blend in the groom and blend the vignette a little and it'll look great! :)

Thank for your comment Sarah.

No, this wasn't a 'cut and paste' job like you suggest, I haven't changed the composition at all - just the tones of the photo.

Although I agree the PS effect isn't to everyone's taste - in the end, the couple loved this effect, so it stayed!

I darkened the doorway next to the groom (to lessen the distraction of a guest's hand), increased the contrast (with levels), desaturated the photo and created the arch vignette.

Interesting thing is - the couple don't even remember this moment - they just recall being swamped by guests within seconds of this photo being taken.
