A few wedding images

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

A few wedding images from a wedding last weekend.

This is deliberately overexposed to give it a kind of dreamy look

The only one that isn't working fully for me is the first one.. although a crop would sort that quick smart I think...

loving the light in the second.. maybe a touch of contrast though to highlight it a bit more?..

also really like the last two!! :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

G'day

I reckon loosing lots of the sky and some of the rhs would help #1 a great deal.

No 3 is the best imho but I suspect the couple will love #3 and #4 for as long they're together.

#3 is also my favourite, you've got good poses and a strong connection between bride and groom, nice composition and very strong B&W
#4 Is a good location, but I don't like the brides pose, the backwards arm things makes her shoulders and upper arms look too muscly for want of a better term, it just doesn't look as natural a pose, her arms around him would work better IMHO
#1 Something is right for me in the facial expressions / poses its a bit uncomfortable. Not overly keen on the treatment here either it feels a little bland (?)
#2 I like the idea maybe just a little more contrast, but without destroying your dream like quality
