1. nice enough capture of a candid moment.

2. The angle of her head, the crop and his hand placement covering her neck all make it look like he is holding just a head with no body. His eyes looking somewhere other than at her also spoils the shot for me, hers are perfect he looks like he is watching TV over her shoulder. Not struck on the soft PP

I like the first one a lot. However, I would have gone easier on the gaussian blur on the man's face. Less Barbie, more Ken

The second photo looks like he didn't have enough at the buffet and is eating the bride!
