my only critique is that they're all underexposed. Can you lighten them up?

I find the background in #3 a bit distracting, too.

I have shot exactly the same number of weddings as you- so my experience is no greater than yours on this, but here are some thoughts-

I agree with the underexposure- although that may be an effect that you are trying to achieve- To some extent, the darker tones are moody, although I don't know if that would be my choice for a wedding.

Number 8 seems to have some white balance issues- your tungsten lit background is fighting with your flash lit subject. Again- not necessarily bad, but it warms the background up a lot more than what looks natural. I have the same issue on a lot of my shots, I assume that gelling the flash would help there- at least, that is what I am going to try next.

Your poses seem good, although I'd like the make-up girl's arm to be blocking less of the bride in #1.

Very good overall, IMO...

Just to add. Is the building falling over in the last picture? Just make sure things that are suppose to be straight are straight, buildings, walls, horizons, etc. Your second image is my favorite out of the bunch. Not a fan of the background on most of them but that's just me; I'm sure the couple loved their pics.
