I took my 400d for a spin at a cousin's wedding, actually this is the first wedding that i have tried to take pics moving around other than just taking pics from the seats.

For a 1st wedding, I'd say it's not too bad. In general, you've got some underexposure, some very harsh shadows on the faces and your whitebalance is all over the place. #1's not bad, but they look a little stiff. ...just my opinion.

Thanks for the comments. Regarding white balance this is something i can correct with PP? the internal shots were done without flash. There is so much for me to learn.

Yes, but that's something that takes practice. Looks fine. I know my first wedding was for a friend so it was just for experience. Wedding photography is fun for me, but also takes time, especially for pp. Stiff is normal actually for Asian weddings, but still, if all your shots are like that, need to loosen up. :) I am Asian, I know what I'm talking about.

Thanks Suzy, yes they were pretty conservative, tho i'm not particularly good as well. here's a few more.

Morning, White Balance adjustment can be ultered before you take the photo on your camera settings, ( saves PP time).
The pictures apear a bit flat, maybe some fill in flash on the subjects or some colour popping in PP.
Otherwise a really great 1st attempt.

A very quick adjustment in shadow/highlights and curves in Pshop

Yes, WB can quickly and easily be altered in post (in most situations). In some mixed lighting situations, it's more difficult. However, you'd be wise to get WB right in camera whenever possible, especially in mixed lighting situations.
