Here are a few shots that I recently took at The William Aiken House in Charleston SC. This house is one of the oldest in Charleston dating back to 1770. William Aiken House Bridal Portrait

Looks like a beautiful location. I like the 4th one the best with the light fall off on the back of her dress. I think #2 would have been cool if the bottom of her dress had been lit better. It looks gray to me.

In future similar situations you might consider setting the camera to expose the outside lighting about 1-1.5 stops under exposure and adding enough light on the subject properly expose her. In so doing you'd include the lovely garden outside those French doors and not have contrast issues.

I agree with Steve, but still nice none the less. My nit on #5 are the dark hands.
