Numbers will help with CC.
Overall good stuff.
Some images could use fill light.
First Basketball court concept is nice.

I'm not going to critique on all, because its too many and not numbered. The second image shows a really bad shadow on her face. Quite a few of them are shot into the sun. I'm not a fan of that 'hazy' look, but some are. As mentioned already, you need fill light and directional light.

I'll tell you like some very good photographers on this forum have told me... Blog a little less. The set would be much stronger with just a few of them. I'll give a quick 'for example' :

#2 bad shadow on her face.
#3 is actually not bad. I like sun flare and what not except there's a few things wrong and it just doesn't work for me.
#4 ,5,6 and 7 . Don't think you really need 2 and 2 solo shots of them. Plus the grooms are lit and positioned better than hers. I also don't think these add anything .
#8 could be good if he wasn't looking at the camera from that distance. Just doesn't work. Maybe that same composition with them walking into the frame? coming towards you. not camera aware.
#9 eh. Boring, plain vertical. Not bad but not anything either.
#10 same as 8 with a tilt and the girls hair covering her face. see what you were going for, just doesn't work.
#12 simple but ok. not bad not great . just a shot.
#14 just looks like a snapshot.
#16 pinteresty.
#17 His expression kills it.
#21 again, Pinteresty. I've seen this pulled off nicely. This just doesn't do it for me.
#22 I don't know what the flash on the feet with a star burst does. Or what it says. IMO it doesn't work.
#23 Nah. gain I see what you were trying but its weak. The pose doesn't do it, the flash doesn't either not there. overall its not a strong shot.

I hope I don't come across as too harsh. If you ask for c&c I'd like to be honest. I think you got some good stuff...but some bad stuff also. And you shouldn't show those. BTW, I think 18, 19 and 20 are some very nice shots! Your strongest IMO. Its just some of the others bring them down. This is just my opinion. take it with a grain of salt and keep doing your thing. Btw, I would blog it like this. And one last thing, get a logo or make your watermark smaller. Its too big.

I'm not typically into giving critique because it can difficult to do so with knowing what the photographer is trying to accomplish or convey with an image (or set of images). I'll leave the technical stuff to everyone else since that's not what I tend to focus on when I look at images. I'm more concerned with the content itself.

What I see here is a good looking couple. She has an amazingly curvy figure that she is very comfortable with and has no problem showing off. She also appears to be reallyconfident, with a little bit of sass thrown in for good measure. I'd key on that for sure. He seems to be very happy and very content. I'm sure his connection with her has a lot to do with that. He doesn't seem to be totally comfortable with the camera, but that seems to be the norm for most guys. Although there are glimpses of their personalities in the individual portraits, we don't really see it the shots where they're together. Maybe think about trying to convey who they are as a couple by shooting stuff that is more dynamic and less staged as opposed to the posey stuff that tends to prevent couples from opening up and showing you who they really are.
