Nice set! A lot of variety here and they look very genuinely happy (no forced smiles) from what I can see
My main C&C is that a few images are a bit overly bright, and the one where you've got her looking over his shoulder, I wish the ring was in focus too.

Thanks for the advice Shima! Which ones look a bit too bright. As a general rule I like to process bright and colorful (when possible) but don't want to go too far! I totally agree about the ring. I was bummed when I saw that I didn't get it in focus

I agree...maybe it's just me...but it seems there are a few where you got the focal point wrong. But thats just being nit picky...because all in all they are really original and for that I say Kudo's to you!

Could you elaborate on your point about the focal point being wrong. I am trying to learn and get better. Thanks!

1, 2, 4 bothered me the most, but if you increase saturation or black levels (fiddle around?) that might fix it... they just also seem a bit washed out.

Oh of course...I'm so sorry....
#2...while you did get her eyes...that is great...I think when I see this picture, you should have gotten the ring as well. If it didnt come out of the camera like this, I would try to sharpen the ring up. I have an action that does this sort of thing.
#6, The focus seems to be on the Gear behind the girl and goes out of focus as it moves over the couple, so that the front of his face starts losing focus and it gradually grows to the back of his head.
#14 If this were my shoot (and God please don't think I'm telling you what to do...it's just MO...I would have cropped out the whole left side, because you have a nice foreground bokeh going on, but why bother with that space to the left...i literally stopped looking at the couple trying to figure out what the heck was back there...was it a room..etc...
I'm weird like that tho (ADD) so, take my opinion with a grain of salt.
#15 also, focus on her great...his face not so great, looks blurry, but the rest looks great.
Again, could be me...could be my tired eyes...looking at pictures of brides all day gets your eyes wacky!
hope this helped

I like most of them very much, but the puckered lips in several kissing shots are very unnatural looking. Sometimes just jokingly telling them "NO Puckering!" when they do that for the camera will result in smiles and more realistic looking kisses.

My only critique is that I'd straighten the truck in the background of #1 and the same with #13.
