First thing that strikes me is that they really need some processing to brighten them up. The shadow detail is very low. Skin tones seem off in 5, 6, and 7.

1, 2 and the last one - they arent looking at you. Are they looking at the other photographer? In the last one in particular, they are looking two different directions.

However, I like the poses. Nothing wrong with your eye.

They are ok.......the only one to me that does anything is where the groom is carrying the suitcase and even in that one it should probably be cropped.

Could you give me an example of this processing that you talking about? I'd like to see how these should be "brightened up".

I agree that they are a bit under exposed. There are a variety of ways to correct this but it depends on what tools you have to do the editing with.:)

Well if you were the main photographer I would tell you that in the one where they are all walking -- it looks like the wrong man is the groom, hehe.

Good Catch, I didn't even pay attention, but you're absolutely right!!

Typical amateur!! LOL I forgot to edit my "garden" pics. Using Lightroom. I agree they are underexposed.

Cropped and pumped this one up a bit...
