Oh, Yuri!! You here???

Love them!! Especially:

#4: Although I would ad a light vignette, and maybe some contrast to it to make it more dramatic.

#6: That's just a beautiful shot

#8: is my favorite. Good catch!!!! I had a couple release butterflies the other day ... that did not go that well, those things are tiny and fly really fast. Love the dove

#9: A very fun(ny) shot!

Hope to see you on here more often lust

Ooh...lovely shots! I especially like #7, though I might crop a little closer to cut out the people in the background. The dove shot is amazing, too! And the last one is beautiful...love the background.

Yuri - welcome, welcome! Very nice to see you here!

These are spectacular! The bride is stunningly beautiful (lucky groom!!) with what appears to be an innate sense of grace!

#2 I love her expression and your work (posing, light, etc) is just spot on!

#3 - Yup, RAW will often save the day, though I wonder if there was any help for the blown veil in this case. I think I would have sacrificed the veil to get a better exposure of her face (though, I think you could boost that in post a bit).

#9 - My favorite as well! Was this posed or were they just waiting for something to happen and you caught a nice candid? Either way, the light is sooo dreamy. Have you thought about adding a vignette to this one?

How exciting to see you here in the wedding section! Welcome! Come back more often

2, 4, 8 and 9 are my favorites.

I like the snapshot feel of 7 as well, but feel that it could use a little more pop (maybe enhance the blacks or contrast a touch?)
