cute shots and some nice locations!!

now for the bad news, you have to color balance them all. and for next time:
shot 1: dont like the cut off feet so id crop it tighter. still a nice shot.
shot 2: i dont care for the "bridge" running into their heads. id have them under it.
shot 4: i hope u got one where she is leaning over and kissing his cheek! those look soo cute when i see them!
shot 5: just a little closer but not touching to me is the most romantic!
rest are perfect!! nice job and thx for sharing!!
cant wait to see their wedding shots.

I'm hoping it's due to the compression from making them so small for posting, but these all look drastically oversharpened except for #7. I like the poses though and while the critiques from Howzitboy are fair and accurate for the most part, I don't feel that the things he points out are grounds for tossing the photos as most likely the couple will never even notice those things and will love them anyway. At least in my experience, the most technically disastrous photos I've done have been among some of the favorites of the people in question. Not saying yours are disastrous mind you.

I like the shots ... very well done. I'd be tempted to throw in an off-cam flash a bit to get rid of the blown out skies.

Yup, and if anyone says "Do you really need those", just say "Well yeah, Bryan said they'd help" :)

Tell this the local tax department when they ask you why did you spend money for these when you try writing them off in your tax declaration. :lol: :lol:

So often they have no idea what these things are and especially not that there is a need for certain things.
