ImagesBB,
Overall ..... the bride looks fantastic and gorgeous.
The location looks like it can be fun...

IMHO, the flash is to strong in all of the shots. does not looked defused in any of the images.

Composition is fighting against you in all of the shots as presented here.
We should be able to crop some to help.

If you turned on "image editing on" we could offer different perspectives to help.

Later,
_Mark

Thanks Mark,

Yes, I was battleing my flash, a bit strong in all, need to get a umbrella attachtment for my stand.

I feel alot of image editing is overdone and don't want my clients to look at the image and see all these photoshop actions that were applied to them, me personally I like to keep it simple.

She is a gorgeous bride!
