I didn't notice the two headed thing till after you said that either. There is a faint outline of the tux, but not much. The sunset gives the photo a nice quality too.

Anthony, groom is slightly taller, which to put head on brides shoulder, pulls his face forward, cheeks sort of look heavy....brides chin comes down, making her d/chin stand out. Maybe from a higher angle, w/them looking a bit upward would help.
I like the brightness of the faces in older man/bridesmaid pic best, in turn would help your background a tad.
I would prefer working against a shrub or building, wall vs what you have here, ok??
Hope all this helps. My email is lhammond1@earthlink.net if you would like to tell/ask anything, Feel free Anthony.

Antony, if I could give you a piece of advise on teeth... Just make accurate selection of them (with 2 to 10 pixel feather) and then use levels (or try brightness/contrast, or saturation) to make them more white.

Humorous candid... Personally, I don't like straight on shots of bride, unless its of a closeup of the bouquet, hand(s) and the dress. Angling the subject(s) 45 degrees to the left or to the right is more flattering. If you can get higher up (or have the bride sit or crouch) and turn her head, it downplays the double-chin.
Look through bridal magazines and photography books for ideas on poses and photography styles. Looks like you're doing a mixture of photojournalism and formal poses.

Nikolai,
Thank you for your comment and kind words. I appreciate that you took the time to view my photo.
I agree that the dress is more important than the tux, and I definately did not want to blow out the dress. About the teeth, the bride is wearing those new type of braces which is contributing to the coloring I think. I am not adept enough with post processing to clone that out or clean it up any. I tend to let my pictures basically stay the way they are because I'm afraid to mess them up to much.
Thanks again,
Anthony

Otherwise you could lose texture of white dress, which is well done. I didn't see a two-headed person until read your comment. Now... yes... it's two-headed person :) I would also whiten her teeth... Greeting Nik

Anthony, It does actually look like a two-headed person, but we think that's funny. After all, it's a candid shot. Nice sunset in the background. Very clear photo with nice detail. ~~ Debby
