I enjoy each of the samples you've posted, especially the last two. I can easily see the last shot being the background for a print advertisement for most any product, wedding related or not. That composition, to me, almost begs for a product image to be superimposed on the table---a Movado, diamond ring, etc., etc. I love the image because, as a designer, I can see so many other ways that this one could be used apart from wedding proofs and prints. Really, the same for both of the last two.
As for critiques, I only have two. 1) I agree with the bare tree comment in the background of image 3. Clone that out and there are no distractions really. I would CONSIDER cloning the tan colored leaf or bare patch of grass under the front wheel of the bicycle. Once that caught my eye, it was hard to avoid it. 2) This isn't really a critique as a personal thing, so feel free to dismiss this last comment as my obsessiveness, but for some reason lines extending to the exact corner of a composition have always bothered me. For example, in image #2, the wooden walking path ends directly in the corner. Most people may not care one way or another on this topic, some may but not enough to ever notice it. For me, it's always a distraction be it photography, painting, video, etc. I don't think this is really a comment on your image, as it's a great image. I'm just using the image as an example of an element that others may (or may not) find distracting---as something to think on for other compositions.
Beyond that, there's little I can find to critique. Beautiful images, there. I love the tree in the first sample. The texture, position, cropping, the twisting of the branches, it all throws so many symbolic concepts at me. When I look at it, I can't help but think of time, age, family, new growth, and such. Whether that's intentional or not, there's just something about that particular tree that suggests it's more than just a compositional prop. At least that's my view. Again, just something to consider exploring.
Good luck to you and your work. All the best,
