I like #7. Are you looking for c&c?

Not sure what you are going here for with what you just said. But in regards to the images, the contrast and blacks are pretty rich. 7+8 I like, though, with 8 I would have liked to see more of the legs that infer some kind of interaction.

I'll jump in Mind it if I am a bit picky?

1. Nice shot ... did you get one where they're looking at each other too?
2. I like the shot / pose ... to me it's a bit too contrasty tough, as you can't really make out their facial features.
3. Again, nice shot ... but I'm not sure if I would have focused on the road, instead of them ... hmmm ... Just my opinion
4. Nice shot, how about a vignette?
5. Cool pic, interesting processing, .... not sure about the angle ...
6. Beautiful
7. Cool pose, a bit strong processing, but I'm digging it
8. Hmmm, haha .... again, cool shot ... but wish she would be wearing different shoes, haha. As a quick fix, about taking out the dark spot behind HER left foot?
9. Everything is looking delicious ... the only thing I would fix s her arm (sorry, I'm a believer of sometime "beautifying the beauty")
10. Strong, strong processing ..... hmmm, having troubles seeing their faces ...
11. Nice shot. Maybe a bit angled (would be a quick fix though). I like it
12. Very nice! Wish I could see the flowers somewhere?

Lots of your shots are either missing the facial features or heavily processed. What is your goal. To capture them or produce artsy imaging.

1. Nice...but, no faces.
2. Over processed, her face is missing...
3. Nice concept...no faces.
4. Again, no faces.
5. Nice pose...his face is gone...just a cheek...her's is partially obscured.
6. Nice pose...his face is gone...image is over processed.
7. Image is okay. Over processed...and needs some cropping...there is a lot of waisted space at the top of the image.
8. Shoe shot. So far you have posted 8 images without a decent facial of both of them together.
9. Finally a picture of the bride. I would rethink the pose. Her hanging arm is adding to an already very thick waist.
10. As has been said. Strong processing. Faces are hard to see.
11. Nice pose...good facial imaging...first image where both the bride and groom's faces appear fully visible in the same photo.
12. Also my favorite. Her waist is minimized by the pose and it's a nice image.

Photogaphy like everything else is subjective. So, these are just my thoughts.

Be careful pushing the blacks or adjusting the offset in CS as it will take away any detail in the man's black tuxedo and make it a black blob...as you have done in almost all of your images.

I looked at your website...you have some really nice images there on your featured work. Just wondering where you were going with some of these shots.

Darren,

Great shots.:D A little strong on the processing for me. Brings back a lot of memories of my honeymoon and also my time at The Citadel prowling around Charleston. It is definitely a very photographic city. With a little scouting, you can find some unbelievable backgrounds. I hope to be able to get back there more over the next couple of years.
