Oh very nice Yip!.. I know how hard it is to expose in these conditions with white dresses.. sand.. sunlight... water and a black suit.. but you've done it to prefection.. great natural posing... it shows your own style... I'm a little jealous even...

Yi-p, you should be very happy with these.
If I was nit picking, and I will...I'd suggest you clone out the purple/black beach umbrella in the first shot. I find it a tad distracting.
The 2nd shot is fantastic, nice blue sky with some whispy cloud, a slightly tighter crop may work here but it's a great shot none-the-less. Well done mate.
Was this a paid gig?

Acctually Geoff I didn't see the umbrella until you mentioned it! Both wonderful shots and beautifully exposed. The cloud detail is great too. The couple will be very happy with these images.

Yip really like the second, you have created a great shot there. Like Geoff I find the umbrella distracting, though it may have worked as a lone beach element to the side of the happy couple. I probably would like to see the first taken from a lower (you may already have been on the sand) or closer vantage point to highlight the couple against the sky rather than the mixed background. I like your style

Thanks all.
I too noticed about the umbrella, but that is about the cleanest I can get before I start getting the entire beach population into the shot. I will look at cloning it out of this one.
Here is a 2nd set of photos taken:

something is wrong with #1, i dont know what exactly. but it should look better than what it does if that makes any sense.

2nd shot is great, the clouds background provided a nice backdrop
