Thanks for looking!

1, 2 and 3 work well for me.

Love the lighting and expressions of #1. It's great!
You may try to lighten the groom in #2 (maybe just play with highlights/shadows tool) and lighten the shadows of #3.

I'd trash #4 personally. Dark, seems blurry (probably motion blur), quite busy.

Good job overall!

i love the first and third shots, second one(videographer in bg) and fourth (oof and grainy) id dump or work em really hard in ps.

re: second shot, id burn in those white/silver cameras in bg because very distracting as well as the flare on grooms forehead (others okay).

shot 4 i tried to make b/w to see if looked better:

kinda grainy looking *sigh*

You did well considering you were bombarded by video lights.

Thanks for all the comments. I know #4 is blurry, grainy, etc, but it has a look about it that makes me like it.

Is there any way to fix it in PS, you think?

Great shots..considering...

It's not always easy...mirror balls, video lights..UGH

1,2 and 3 have a real rich film look to them. They look like stars.

I think I would have preferred a vertical composition for the first 3 shots. Otherwise, timing of expressions, lighting, and post processing looks great.

Feels like you were taking pictures of a movie recording...Nice shots...
