Methinks you could tone down the skin smoothing a tad, especially in 5,7,8,9 and especially on the dude. His skin in those is looking smoother than my 8 month old baby's a$$

I've never met an Olga I didn't like... and she is no exception.
The real question is: Why do all photographers must wear such tacky footwear?
You've got a point about "Olgas." I worked with the lead contortionist (how's that for a job title?) for one of Cirque Du Soleil's shows (Varekai)... here name was Olga. (Talk about off topic!)
Nicely done, could be this monitor but seems like some fringing in the ring shot.
I'd like to see some wider, although i imagine you were loving that 135L. As the other have said, skin smoothing is a way to intense on the dude, don't mind it so much on the girl.
1. I don't like the CAs on the ring. It's distracting and also the blue color feels odd. The overall composition is kind of unbalanced.
2. I like the expression and the overall feeling but the framing suffers a bit: his head chopped on the top, her hair to the right and her hand on the left of the image. Maybe a slightly wider framing would have given you the freedom to crop to your liking (if this is cropped from a larger image, then maybe this can be fixed)
3. I like this one.
4, 5: overall good lighting, composition and all, but why is she always looking away from him? (same on 7 and 10)
6. Funny one, I like it. maybe bring the mid tones a bit lower to give it more punch, because the colors look a bit dull.
7. Good composition, I would have liked her to look towards him or something. Her looking to the camera while he whispers something to her ear or whatever he's doing is not making too much sense to me (esp. since this pose is present in 4 out of the 10 images you posted)
8. I like it. Maybe the best from the set IMO.
9. I don't like the blur effect on their bodies. Something feels odd.
10. Too much of his back in the image, at the expense of chopping their hands. And btw, what is he doing with that hand in there? I don't like the pose overall. Maybe if their hands were more visible, and he was holding her hands somewhat different...

Good point. Now that it's 10am ( not 3 ) I can see that clearly. Thanks.
#4 is very magazine ad-ish. It's my fave of the set. The tilt in #7 is too much for me. Overall this doesn't seem as edgy/strong/whatever as your wedding sets, can't put my finger on it.
Oh and given how much you like the 135L, save yourself and don't touch a 200/2...
#4 and #8 are my favs from this set as well. belldandy is right-8 is a great angle on the guy.
I agree that 9 doesn't need the blur-it looks like a classic pose/processing with blur tossed in, and 3 is just a little too close, IMO.
I can't wait until Nikon updates the 135/2...makes me more than a little jealous.
Although I agree on the skin smoothing..
