New PP look on my latest wedding shoot CC

I've been trying out some different settings on Aperture and have come up with a new look. Would really appreciate some feedback on it, and the images in general:

4


5


6


7


8


9


10

For my taste, as soon as you can see that vignette was applied, there is too much vignette. I feel that it should be uber-subtle, just enough to guide the viewer without being part of the photo. The skin tones also don't seem to be very consistent here.

Ah, the subjective parts of photography...

I LOVE the heavy vignetting.

How did you process 7 and 9?

I agree on all counts. 6 looks very blue to me. Like literally bluish/gray skin. Maybe that is what you are ghoing for there. If not, you may want to calibrate/recalibrate your screen. Nice shots though!!

Thanks for the comments so far. Totally agree with the comments about skin tone, and will address that before burning these to disc for the client. I think part of it was that the level of saturation needs to be tinkered with a little more, as well as the white balance.

Also the vignette is a bit strong on some.

All the images were processed using Aperture.
