The large picture here looks kinda blurry, (possibly your SS to low?) and the Post processing cut and paste of the bride and groom looks very amateurish, and well...kinda cheesy. The image also looks very flat and lacks any real color or contrast "Pop". The second (Small) picture looks better and I see you were tying to be creative here with the reflections...doesn't really work for me, but a much better effort there to be naturally creative behind the lens rather than in PP. Never stop trying to improve, and best of luck to ya What he ( or she?) said! I know you said it's your first, and a lot of the time in the beginning people are tempted to go hog wild with processing, but please don't. People will laugh at you and it destroys the integrity of the photo. I am super cool n' stuff.

I didn't start editing pics until almost a year into shooting. Even now, I don't like to edit unless I have notes on what did or didn't work before editing. Just stick with getting to know your limits first and the editing will come to you naturally D90, 105mm f/2.8, 18-105mm DX, D-Lite 2 it (3), 32" Photoflex softbox (2), Manfrotto 3021BN w/3047 head
