Lovely job! Normally I would be concerned about blowouts but it works so well with the bright, sunny beach scene. I really like the idea of dress trashing and you can see the happiness and carefree expression on the bride's face. Definitely not the same expressions you tend to see the day before the ceremony!
I really like these. I have come back a few times to look at these. I love the feeling conveyed in the color images. I especially like the first b&w but only wish the two individuals in the background were not in the shot, that distracts a bit for me from what is a great composition. Understandably for the bride the sister and friend in the background have value and so it works for the brides interests.
Good stuff, you have talent!

these are great, kate!-
The only think I mind is the light space around the subjects... did you burn in the background or dodge your subjects?
