Simply beautiful. 1 is my favorite but they are all wonderful. 1 conveys the kind of emotion I try to use as my starting point when I do engagement pics.

Was it a cloudy day? I am wondering if I would like 3 better in color rather than sepia, but judging by 4 it looks like it was overcast, and if so, the sepia may be a better treatment than lackluster colors from overcast skies.

Very nice. #4 had me chuckling My only gripe is the chopped off foot in #3, and sepia processing, but I've never really been a fan of sepia anyway, so that part may be just me.

Nice. Number one is a cracker of an image. I like the rest as well and it is good to finish on a humorous note.

I like them... although a little heavy on the post processing. Or maybe I'm just not a fan of sepia. last one is my fav

I also don't like the sepia processing but I do like #2 quite a bit.

Very nice, great emotion in each shot, sharply focused and good exposure. I too think the post processing is heavy handed, but if that is what you are known for, then go with it.

This is a nice set! Number one is my favorite - such a tender moment. I am also not a huge fan of the sepia (personal taste) perhaps b&w would suit the image too?

This is the style editing the clients hire me for. Not everyone's taste but it stands me out from others

What lens were you using for #2? That blur looks a bit different.

1 and 2 are great.

Also not a fan of the sepia. It strikes me as cheezily and crudely applied.
