 My cousins wedding on the weekend. Though I was merely a guest, I managed to get a decent shot or two. This is my favourite.

I think the shadows on her face are strange, she seems like she has a mask on or something.

Nice moment, though the skin tones look odd to me.

Nice capture of an intimate moment but I think your white balance is off. You can recover this (assuming you didn't shoot in raw and therefore can adjust the white balance then) using the colour balance tool, adjusting the yellow / blue slider a fair way towards the blue and maybe the cyan towards the red a touch really makes this look more natural.

A beautiful intimate moment. Good capture. I just wish the shadow wasn't on the bride's face. It looks like the lighting at the location was just too dark. 6

My eye is drawn to the purple-ish shadow around the bride's mouth and eyes. There are also areas of patchy noise and then slick shinyness which are not flattering. At the moment it looks like an image where you were forced to use a high ISO in low light and then tried to relcaim the detail in pp.
