#1 I would crop the top of the picture slightly to remove the 2 green posts. Nice concept though.

#2 Traditional type of shot of the bride looking out of the window. To much emphasis given to the outside and not the bride. This has created a real problem with exposure for you.

#3 This is nice. Only a shame that the background is blown out and one of the clips holding the music is right next to his ear, emphasizing its presence.

#4 Cute. Wouldn't it have been great to loose the onlookers in the background?

Favourite for me #3. Just love his expression and pose.

Good advice! Thanks. In #2 I was trying (unsuccessfully) to not only show her looking out the window but to show all the guests waiting for her at the Gazebo. Any suggestions on making that work better?

To obtain the look you would need to expose for the outside and use flash to light the bride (bounced or off camera if you have the equipment). As you have only used the light of the window there is too much dynamic range in the picture for the camera to capture it all.

Number 3 is great.

I think the post is hurting the image. I'd crop off most of the window.

all cute shots.

1. id kinda want them both on same side of tree with the boy lower then the girl so we can see his profile. cute shot really.
2. she is perfectly exposed but that sky!! id attack it in PS to darken it or try shoot it when clouds come? u can use flash but then you wouldnt have that nice shadows. hmm tuffy
3. is really super cute hehe i love his crooked glasses. only thing that catches my eyes is that instrument coming out of his head *sigh*
4.the little girls dress is a little blown out. id try darken it a bit if can.

overall, nice shots that the couple would love!!

I like #1 but think if you shot it from the opposite angle, where you could see the kids faces peeking, it would've been a lil better.

I like them but I'm really not a fan of selective coloring in this case.

Great job on #3. Other points have already been mentioned.

I looooooooove the expression on the little boy in #3!
