Dang dude. This is all kinds of great.
Tagging it now so that I remember to come give critique tomorrow when I'm more competent.
I am now holding my breath.

Not able to do a full comment on all but off the cuff I think you could benefit from tighter cropping on a lot of these. Like #2, do we need that group of people turned away from camera on the far left?
On 4 do you need that bit of chandelier at the top that draws the eyes away from the scene?
12) could crop out the bright bridesmaids dress in the upper left, would really help to focus on the girls.
14 the flowers on the left just detract IMHO, and the chair on the right isn't great either, but if you didn't take any other versions I'd at least get rid of the flowers and live with the chair.
18) that dangling tree on the left I could live without seeing but can't really crop it out fully probably without throwing it off balance, so not sure much can be done there.
19 and 20 I'm not sure how I feel about that tree on the left, it is sort of prominent in the frame as a third subject but its not really in the frame entirely so it kind of pulls attention away IMHO. I'd like to see some without that tree or some where the tree is more evenly balanced with the couple but this is sort of in between.
Also cropping on 22, not a big deal but I think it would be cleaner to crop the sides in tighter, don't think the door knob makes it stronger and the tan strip on the left draws the eye away from the couple as well.
28) you have the girls face on the right like a ghost or easter egg?
29) crop the strip of red curtain on the right
13 + 24 could have benefited from some more depth of field, not losing much by stopping down there since the background isn't something that had to be blurred to make the shot and seems like you had enough light to stop down. Nothing can be done in post though.
I liked a lot of the emotion and light was nice on many, just think that tighter compositions would really raise it up a notch. ...Show more →
Thats not a full comment?! In the past I have struggled with being too tight, so have made an effort to shoot wider. I will take a look at each comment and possibly crop a few before delivery. Thanks!

Darn fine set.
On pic 21 the bride's left eye looks a tiny bit bloodshot. Perhaps teasing out some of the red blood vessels or making them less red may do the trick. (She may be tired, hence the eyes).
On pic 22, (if it were me), I'd crop the shot so the edges of the door frames were gone from top and bottom.
On 24, is the groom's face a tiny bit blown on his highlighted side. Possibly brush the exposure back in a little (if your RAW software allows you to).
29, I'd retouch out the cables leading to the table and on the floor. I'd also crop / clone out the bit of red dress on the right of frame - should only take a moment to do both.
27 is wonderful. Don't let them leave without placing an order for a big framed version...!...Show more →
Interesting perspective, I hate retouching things like cables, but I can see the issue. On 24, I haven't blown a highlight since I got the D750. I should be able to brighten her up a touch and darken him.

I am sure they are going to love their photos, I enjoyed viewing this set and not much to nit pick here, honestly the only thing that jumped out at me was the wires in the last photo.
Thanks!

Looks good!
Willow Heights Mansion?
Yup, but she was not a huge fan of the location and prefered the trees/hills.

Beautiful. Especially love #27.
Thanks, I wasn't sure I was going to get the flash balanced correctly on that shot.
