1. I would've moved to the left about 3 feet so that you could get the houses to their left and not directly overhead. The image feels very right heavy. The awkward crop of the building on the left needs to go.
2. Cool shot. I like the vignetting. They seem a tad soft.
3. Too much post processing. Composition is pretty solid though.

2nd set.
2. light coming into the lens caused a flare right below her neck line.
last one - Cool composition, but should be zoomed in more to emphasize the ring and not the clam shell.

Keep it up!

shadow on her face is a bit distracting. I would have asked her to move forward a bit so his shadow on reflect on her face or I would have used fill flash.

the rest are nice especially the last one.

1. Not great expressions. Half the frame's filled with empty blown sky too.
2. Shadow on her face kinda ruins it. They don't look very comfortable.
3. Shadows, uncomfortable, not a fan of the processing.

4. Is ok. Use the frame more.
5. Nice snap.
7. Nice. Get closer though.

Then you duplicate and screw up the numbers.

Here's my 2cents!

The first couple is my sister-in-law and her husband.
1.
Nice shot, it looks like a wide angle lens which I don't think is that flattering for the girl. I'd also maybe try to increase the exposure on the couples faces. The focal point of the image is a touch underexposed.

2.
Very nice

3.
The strong shadows work very well

"These are engagement photo's of my brother-in-law and his finance the morning after he proposed." - I take it he's marrying for money! (sorry couldn't resist!).

Nice shot, I'd maybe crop the right hand side to remove the distracting pier

2.
Couple of things: it looks like a snapshot. The horizon is cutting through the guy's head. I like the idea of shooting in to the sun, but a little bit of fill would have helped this shot. I'd recommend changing the angle you've shot this (for next time), either crouch down or try to shoot downwards to avoid the horizon cutting through the head. Also try a reflector or fill flash when shooting in to the sun. Kudos for avoiding the couple having to squint...

Nice shot

I love this, I would have zoomed in closer. The negative space doesn't really add much to the image. I love the concept!

the first set, the crop on the first on is bad. it needs to be cropped way in. Why? because you only capture from shoulder up leaving them in the very bottom corner. It looks funny to me. Sun absolutely destroyed you in this set. I dont' think the strong shadows helped at all.

the second set, much much better in lighting terms. The lighting in these can be easily fixed if you have RAW file. You pretty muched showed us the same picture of them three times though. Show us some different poses and composition. The ring shot, it is great. I love it actually. Would like to see it in closer if you used a macro for it or if it's good enough quality to be cropped in.
