I think most of them are good, nice mixture of styles. Not keen on the one of the bride coming up the stairs where you've obviously fired the flash right at her though...

Walking off the elevator seems random and there are two nearly identical shots.

If you rename your photo to something other than "spread1.jpg" you will have better SEO results. For example "florida-keys-wedding-photographer-matter-and-movement.jpg". "spread1.jpg" tells google absolutely nothing. Same goes for the page title.

I would nix half the images so the overall post is stronger, several of them are soft.

Watch the spacing between the images- the the bottom spacing in different than the top.

The last image in the middle is out of place surrounded by night photos.

Nice use of directional light in the bar but watch your focus.

Check the white balance on the bride and groom on the dock- they are rather blue compared to the warm image of the bride alone.

On another note you are giving a ton of real-estate above the fold to your logo. Think of laptop and ipad users.
