wow, a post that actually has to do with photography? thanks, ryan-you have some nice stuff there-i'm more partial to your naturally lit stuff b/c the flash is casting harsh and distracting shadows onto the walls in many of your strobe shots-
my favorite is the shot of them kissing under the bride that's lit with flash-you might want to link a few in a post for critique-as it is now, it's hard to comment on so many shots that have no numbering for reference-if you post a few shots here for critique, i'll be happy to give a little more constructive and specific feedback
There are some good shots here. I might use a more shallow d.o.f as a lot of the pictures have more background detail than I prefer. And the slightly harsh flash - try a Flipit or similar.
Great stuff man. I'd try a few more tight, detailed crops. It seems like you got stuck on the wide mode that day. I've done the same thing and had to tell myself "mix it up." Clients love the diversity in focal length.

Maybe it's just me, but a tight "smash face" shot is a little flat. I only think they work with a epic background (ie, "From Here To Eterntity" but not close up. Faces don't look good, hair gets in the way. Snooze.
Beautiful work! Only suggestion i have is to try not to have them so close to a wall when you make that strobist lightning. (This is also a note to myself! )
