I think I would love 5 if it was taken more from the side, when I see that image (or ones like it) I always get the feeling of you are actually catching the couple doing it, which I think is conveyed more if it is from the side and not actually head on. Make sense?
The shadows are not doing their faces any justice in 4 and 5. 9 seems cool, but crop it a little tighter? 1,8,10 and 12 are your gems. Though 12 seems softish.
Is it bad etiquette to bump a thread this old? What's the cutoff point?
Also, wanted to say this was my second engagement session. This couple are friends of mine who are also into photography. They are really encouraging me to start shooting weddings.

Yes, I totally see what you're saying. Unfortunately, I didn't get such an angle.

Like the set, but eyes are closed in almost every shot.
I didnt really notice that. haha. I guess that's just how they are naturally . I have other ones with their eyes wide open.

Great set,
In 4 I personally would have put another fill subject left to fill in the Brides Face. It would still keep them isolated for the background.
Do you mean off camera flash? I didn't use it in this picture. There was a stairway in the parking garage leading outside. There was quite alot of light coming in. In my head I envisioned a chiaroscuro effect. I meant to reduce those awful shadows, but it seems that I did not completely get away from them.
Here's another try:
