So, the back story

They chose the photo strip idea
The colors are the colors used at their wedding.
They chose the dialogue on the last card

I didn't know what to put on the right, so I just used some happy filler. I was thinking of just putting in text reads "She Said...YES!!"
Im not crazy about the heart, but shes girly and their a fairly simple couple.
Please help me finish it up :D
Going to be printed on 4x6

It's a little hard to say for sure at such a small-ish size but the top image of the strip looks really dense and contrasty. Makes him look as if he's wearing theatrical makeup. The eyes are especially dark and not so friendly.

Overall though, excellent design and I bet they'll love this! Nice Job!!

Thanks, i'm gonna back off the "blacks" on that one image, I used the same custom preset for all the images and that one might have been a bit underexposed OOTC so i'll fix it. Good catch =)

Eyes look better but #1 is still much more "high key" than say 3 or 4...

Much more detail in his hair in 3 and 4 than in 1... Just Sayin'

I like it. The wedding ring is crooked. I assume that's intentional for some reason. The design is cute.

I like the design a lot. I'm not to crazy about the colors, though I suppose they were client selected. Love the film strip on the left and the way the images work. I'm not digging the primary image, though. As Scullen indicates, the engagement ring is crooked. I'm also bothered by their fingers being interlocked the way they are; it just seems busy and awkward to me. Nonetheless, it's pretty cool.

i don't like the image on the right... i think it can work just fine without that extra photo there...
