Some advice:

1) Aim to make your photos with your camera and lean less on Photoshop effects
2) Use aperture to create effects and soften backgrounds
3) Look for canopies or shade elements to get less harsh shadows. Use a gobo if need be.
4) I don't care for the vignetting
5) Volunteer to assist a pro whose work you enjoy and see what tips you can pick up

I don't mean to sound harsh. I'm just offering some advice to help you get stronger at your craft. You'll learn a lot with each wedding you do.

Keep at it!
