I really like pic #2..it shows their happiness. I would leave it as is...just my opinion:) Thanks for sharing.

I like them both very much. I really like the brides face in the first one. Shame the lady stepped in front of you. I wouldn't change a thing. Maybe play with B/W or sepia for fun.

Isn't that the hardest thing to do is in that "bubble' line to get people to NOT step in front? I always get a few nice tall men to stand and let people know, do not get in the photographers way..It generally works

love them i would love to see more from this wedding

I like the photos but they both seem a little orange to me. Maybe desaturate them a bit.

There seems to be a magenta cast...need to tweek white balance?

i did a quick edit/conversion, but for some reason my 'manage attachments' button disappeared.

great shots but tip is , right before you shoot them, ask the couple to look up when they are walking out. half the time they will , half they wont but at least u might get chance of getting more face shots in them.

I think #2 is pretty much there but I'd crop #1 to lose the folks on the left who are adding nothing. Place the couple a third in from the left and let the people on the right dominate the shot as they contribute hugely to a fun shot.

It's a little too hot color-wise for me and I'd drop the saturation a little but it's a matter of taste.

Something like .....

They are fine.....
Tighten the frame on #1, fix the dark cast on the people's skin, as some others have mentioned.

I love #2. It's so candid. And #1 is great when made a little tighter above by Paul33.

Great job!

Thanks for all the great suggestions! That's exactly what I am looking for. I am relatively new to photography (5 months) so I'm still over processing the pictures, like the saturation and over doing the levels adjustment. I see other people over-processing and it's very obvious, but it's hard to tell when you're doing it yourself!!

That crop does make it better, although I'm mentally stuck on having the couple more centered for this picture.

I was just a guest at the wedding, so I have several other pictures but none that I was happy with...
