interesting use of a ring light, but...i gotta say, the ring catchlights look kinda weird...i guess im just so used to solid round.
not a fan of the low angle of #1, but otherwise a nice shot.
#2 and #3 are fantastic, ring catchlights aside.
gotta be honest here...for me personally, i think i would have cloned out those ring catchlights.

#2 is definitely the gold medal of the set, but only because the background in #3 is just the hotel room.
my only real nitpic with #2 is the shallow DOF. im not a fan of the "one eye in focus, the other eye OOF" look. also, theres something weird going on around her mouth on the right side.

overall its a great set. no doubt the couple will be very pleased with them.

Thank you for the critique. I noted them Down. Pls tell me what you think about This one, I personally don’t like it but it got the most likes on ig.

Your choice of backgrounds leaves much to be desired. Shooting up angle as Pixmedic noted is rarely a good portrait angle; nostrils are not particularly likable. The most interesting thing about your images I discovered when I brought them into Photoshop was the enormous color shift. Not sure how it happened but my image and your image are day and night in how much red is in the mix...and in mine, I eliminated the offending BG and brought the focus to the bride to be.
