Default My first engagement session

And it was my first time using my new Canon 28-135mm lens. Any opinions?















Thanks for looking!

Numbering your photos would make it easier for feedback.

I hope this doesn't come off as negative, just some constructive CC.

1- I like the concept but you chopped off his foot. The flower is so small it is tough to see what he is doing. He would also benefit from a little fill in his face.

2- Rabbit ears. Her feat directly over her head. The white balance also seems a bit off. This image would be helped with a little more post.

3- a ring in a box seems a bit boring. the harsh light is also not flattering to the diamond and the angle doesn;t make the diamond pop.

4- The best of the bunch. I really like it. It would still benefit from a little more post to make it pop.

5 - Out of focus

6 - looks like a prison photo (sorry ) especially since it is just her

7 - Straighten your horizon. This is similar to the last photo but is much more playful since both of them are in it and are playing off one another.

And I will add that is easy for me to pick this stuff out but I would likely make even worse mistakes shooting myself!

Thanks for the feedback. I can take it! It actually does make a lot of sense. I appreciate it.
I am horrible at PP so I am working on it. I mostly used the presets on Lightroom to edit these. lol

White Balance looks a bit cold in a few of them, a bit too blue

along with the other comments so far which i agree with... some of these seem overly saturated. And I'm viewing them on a dull monitor at the moment. So i would think they would be even more saturated looking on a more accurate monitor. That's just what I see though. My eyes could be deceiving me.
