Really great light perhaps, but not sure I like any of these. There are some very nice poses, but the over washed out look doesn't do any of them justice.

Theo,

You know I'm a fan of your work, but this set is far from your best. You have some seriously blown out elements in several images (particularly the veil in your first composite), and the general feel of the set is really lacking contrast, IMO.

Nice posing and composition, for what it's worth.

I'd up the saturation and add some more warmth and a touch more contrast.

But I cannot be too critical because these are still way better than I could take.

thanks very much for your honest CC, guys! i can see where you're coming from. i know this set isn't for everyone, but after reviewing favorite photos with the bride, i stuck with a veeeery light, low contrast edit that she seemed to prefer, which is why it may look slightly different from other sets of mine. however i can see how they look a bit washed out and cool. thanks so much for the honest opinions!

This is just what she wanted, if not better.
