This was my first wedding w/ the 70-200 f2.8/L IS USM and oh BOY am I glad I finally have it!!! It got me some awesome shots from the balcony during the ceremony ^_^ Below is a mix of shots with it and the 17-55 f2.8 IS USM.

1) This one is probably my favorite shot:

2) I had a great angle upstairs w/ the 70-200 for this shot

This wedding had such great emotions and energy, it was a real pleasure to shoot.

Hope you all enjoyed looking, feedback welcomed as always.

you did a wonderful job- here are a couple of things I might try if these were mine
#1 add a little vignette
2&3- lighten them just a smidge ( could be my monitor )

[Visual Bride]

Good job. Nice clean images.
Not sure about the ring shot. Unlit candle doesn't do much for me.
8 is a great moment.

6 could do with a lighten too.
You should be proud, sure the couple with be very happy with them.

Superior! Great set, gorgeous couple, #1 is stunning!

You had awesome lighting in these pictures! I always have trouble with the lighting during the ceremony, its always sooooo dark in there!

Lighting is tops considering the skin tones. I am Chinese and my husband's family are all pale. All our pictures had terrible WB. Oh well. You did great. I agree with above, the first one would be great with a little vignetting. Congrats.
