Not bad! Interesting composition in the last one, but it lacks a bit of contrast.

I agree with Adam on the contrast of the last one, but overall I think the shots are excellent. Beats the heck out of what I often see as the "same old, same old" with wedding shots. If it had been my wedding, I would be pleased with those.....of course if it had been my wedding you would most likely not even be born yet.....
Best Regards!

Saving critique, these are nice candids.
Hope you enjoyed the experience.

I like the candid nature of these shots. But there are technical problems with all. Looks like you shot everying with available light and in P or Green mode.

Thx for the critic but please be more specific. I want to learn from my mistakes.
As an explanation: the first 3 pictures are shot in M more whit only availble light whit manual lens.
Nr4 is shot whit availeble light + a little fill flesh (i tink)
nr 5 only whit natural light

I never shot in P or green mode.

Thx
