First thing you need to do is pick a few that you actually want critique on and embed them into this thread, not just have a link. You'll get much more responses that way.

I looked through the album. They look fine to me so far.

Thanks for the advise midgeman. I finally figured out how to embed the flickr images. Also feel free to edit any of the images if anyone has better ideas.

I think these are good moments you've captured. The way I see it... it's more about capturing moments than it is about image quality or any of that. BUT, great moments + "all of that other stuff" is what gets you jobs.

I would personally brighten up the first one. And just be more aware of objects in the foreground. I'm new to it this year as well. I am finding something to improve after each wedding.

Depending on how large they are going to print it, you may be able to crop that one vertically. Or maybe give them both?

Looks good! The images are clean and as Blake mentioned, you captured some great moments. What was your lighting setup for the reception? Looks like a flash firing into the tent, you've got some night hair/rim lighting going on there. Do you have any other shots from before or during the ceremony?

It was a simple 2 flash setup, one bouncing to the top of tent from top of my camera and another one on the opposite side to me on a stand with a remote trigger to get some rim light. I do have lots of other shots which i will post as soon as i go home as they are still in lightroom.

At first glance, I thought the kids in the first one were the bride/groom...and I thought "Wow, that couple looks REALLLLLLLY young".

Thanks for sharing!
