July wedding

Here are a few from a wedding I shot in July.

I'm not sure I'm a fan of the soft glow kind of processing on the dress and shoes shots but if the couple likes them that is all that matters. That been said I like the last shot aside from a few things .. its a bit dark and I would have shot a little more wide open in order to bring out the focus on the couple.. also its a bit soft looking and the colors are flat.. i I would definitely take some time to clone out the gentleman in the right background.. you could probably duplicate in layers and mirror it with a bit of editing to cover him up.. I'm not really a fan of the composition on 2 and 3...

For the last picture, I can clone him out and I can probably play with the exposure and make it brighter since I shot in RAW, but you say the colors are flat, how can I fix that?

I would try just boosting the contrast a bit and some selective saturation maybe on the flowers to give it a pop.. For future reference though shooting wide open for these types of shots will give you a much better end results.. especially for wedding photography...you'll get that isolation of the bride and groom so your eyes go straight to them as opposed to being distracted by the background..
