This first is a good classic pose, the second is a nice moment :)
I'd look at your white ballance, they look a little too orange to me. Easy to fix if you're shooting RAW, not too hard if it's JPG.

That dress is TO DIE FOR! LOVE IT!
I really like your poses and set up well done!!!! Yes possibly a bit too orange, but id rather a nice warm colour rather than a cold blueish tone.

your lighting is real good and the exposure is right on.. the hard thing about the shot on the right is that when the woman sits on his lap, she almost always dwarfs him.. women like to to be seen as smaller than their man ;)

Point well taken.
I often like to use poses that go against the traditional, classic look, for a change of pace.

I'm not trying to say it is nontraditional or classic, just makes her look unappealing
the girls are super cute ;)

when i'm uploading my images, how can I make sure that they are larger than what I've recently put up?
Everyone else seems to have very large image size.

Aww that is cute as! The pastel blues really compliment the shot, they are all in sync with each other ir eally like it, candid but it works well!!

I like the first picture. It was very well thought out. I don't like the second one because of the man looking up and the woman looking down. The female superior. I would like for them to look more equal. :-) ...Bob

Nice shots try using a fill flash to eliminate the shadows in the eye socket. All and all nice

Some suggestions ...
First photo ... birde is very straight. Pull her left elbo (right to you) down to put a tad slant into the birdes shoulders.
Light is excellent and so is your exposure ... the back quad lighitng coming from behind has a tendency to get hot very quicklly... here you have it as a wonderful demension light.
Second image ...
Strong Image, but I do not like the coping.
To make a much stronger image crop the the top of her head and the bottom of his hand and make image horizontal. I belive you could put that crop on the wall for a lot of comments. Right after taking this photo, move the forehead closer together to add emotion.
Before taking this photo .... step back a few more steps if you can to make an evriomental portrait. Remember you are shooting for sales and for the wall. Art goes on the wall and emotion goes into the pocket book.
You .... have the wedding eye.
