Almost embarrassed to say this, but this is my first engagement shoot. Would love some feedback.

Overall, Lucas, I think you did a good job. Good lighting and focus, color balance, etc. Here are a couple of opinions for feedback. Photo #1 doesn't do it for me for some reason. I don't know if it's the hedge coming in and out of frame or the stairs, but it doesn't make me feel "engagement." #2 is nice. I would like to see a slight vignette on that, but that is just personal preference. Also, I think the overall capture would have been nice to have included the arch over them in the crop. I think it's the same path as in #3. I like #3. #4 is cute, too, but the fact that they are leaning away from each other makes me feel they are separated. I wonder if they could have been leaning towards each other or even bending around the pillars looking at each other. Nice photo, though. 5 and 6 good, too! Only thing with #6 would be to have corrected some of the blown out sky in upper right. It's too blown out. All are better than I would have done with my first engagement, for sure!

They're all attractive shots, but the architectural backgrounds compete for attention with the engaged couple, as if you were more interested in the buildings than in the people.

Cute shots! Love #5. Agree with Darvon-maybe more shots of the couple closer together next time to show intimacy.
