I do like the faded look in the third one. Could you tell me how you achieved that effect?

Definitely effective as more a fashion shoot than a wedding portfolio, but well done with the ideas.
Good use of lighting for your subjects.

I am going to give you an over view as you know with PS there is a lot of adjustments and alt things you can do and I tend to make them on the fly. but this is the bace on how i did that photo.

Soft look

1. make copy of background layer
2. filter, blur
3. Gaussian blur on copy background layer as little or as much as you like I pick number at random
4. over on the layer window, I may pick overlay, multiply ect…. Depending on I am filling at the time
5. I may or may not turn the now blurred background layer black and whit or just take a little color out using hue/saturation bar (Ctrl+U)
6. using the opacity slide on the layer window I may drop the opacity (background copy) depending if I think it needs it because doing this presses makes things dark and I may not wont things as dark.
7. flatten layers
8. adjust highlights shadows and midtones as needed
9. save

Hmmm a wedding in a Cemetery, really supports the "death till us part" bit.

: I am almost afraid to ask where the honeymoon will be.

I assume the happy couple are unique in their own Halloween type of way. The photos are fantastic, I'm certain they were pleased with the equally unique results.
