My cousin recently called me up and he wanted me to shoot some engagement photos for him. He and the lady said that they wanted a few posed shots here and there + a few candid shots. We were a little pressed for time, so some of my shots turned out a little sloppy, but a few turned out pretty okay in my opinion. Some of these didn't turn out as sharp as I would have liked and my exposure was less than perfect (and i made an attempt at rescuing them in PS).

I would greatly appreciate your comments and critiques (both negative and postive).

Thanks for looking and thanks for your time.:)

EDIT: 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 USM was used.

Here are a few from the set:

I think it's a very nice set. I had a couple little nit picks about the framing in a couple of them, but that just comes down to a matter of taste.

Thanks for the kind comments, folks. Is there anyway i can improve? Composition? Lighting? Exposure? Post Processing?
