ok, keep in mind that I am *not* a wedding photographer. That biz has its own style and language. My comments are strictly from my bias and what I see wrt composition and form. I never use flash so I can't comment on how that helped/hurt you. I always use available light.
1st image is too dark on her face, and the stained glass window is distracting. You might be able to dodge and burn this to fix it (I assume you shot raw?).
2nd image is blown out on the background (through the window). Again you might be able to d&b but the lighting is off on their faces. Plus the yellow single light is a distraction.
3rd image is good but I'd crop the top 1/4 of the picture - that would also get rid of the flash reflection. You might lose a little drama though.
4th image I like a lot. Best of the series I think. You might want to photoshop her hair out on the right side of her face if your'e so inclined.
5th image I don't like her "look" and the single yellow light is a distraction. Plus the vertical shapes in the background detract from her in the foreground. Maybe a lot shorter DOF.
From the second post:
1st image - blown out background. I'm wishing you were another 2 steps to the right and framed it about a foot more to the left.
2nd image. I think I know what you were going for, but it sends an odd vibe from the look on her face.
3rd - the windows int he background are killer. Again, if you had it to do again I'd go for a narrower DOF and try and meter on the foreground.
4th - odd white balance. I like the composition though, although there are a couple of details that throw me (like underneath her nose and the part of the guy's face in the upper right). I'd rather see more of the guy upper right (though that is a "street shot") or none.
5th - soft focus and the stained glass again is a pita. Do you know what fstop you were shooting mostly?
