    Looks a little soft to me and a little underexposed and could maybe use a little more contrast in the conversion, though that is personal taste. You are showing a nice emotion but it is a snapshot. Centered, chopping off limbs, no accounting for the surroundings which seem very interesting like the architecture, the iron gate, or her dress. You should probably clone the white from his shoulder and his hair and maybe that dark spot on her dress. A close crop of this just showing the faces would be a nice shot to focus totally on the emotion but you don't have the res or sharpness to crop into this image I don't think.

    Not awful but not pro. Keep bringing your camera to weddings and really focus on making good compositions that tell a story and you will get better. Just please stay out of the pro's way! If you are shooting at a wedding then you need to know where the pro is all the time to make sure that you aren't between he and his subject. Also it is a good idea to say Hi to him or her and introduce yourself so that the hired pro can lay out any ground rules that will help him earn the money that the b&g spent on their services.
