I shot my first couple last weekend and had a great time shooting them. I've picked up a few things from this site and would love to hear your thoughts on these.

I think you've got some great images here! You do need to work on your white balance though. It is inconsistent throughout the set. 1,3,6,7 seem to be too cool.

I agree, a great first go!

For #3, a great tip I read somewhere (might have even been here...forgive me for not giving proper credit if so)...try to bring the face closer to the lens in your photos, or at least not leaning away from the photo (or something to that effect, I probably misquoted somewhere in there). Her shoulder/belly becomes the focus of that photo, rather than their kiss. Granted, there are times where you'll be intentionally wanting that sort of look, but I don't think that was the desire of that photo.

I'd say you had a successful experience!
