My best Friend Sheena and her Fiance asked if I could take their engagement photos for them. After some photoshop these two are my favorite:

C & C Please and if you have any ideas how to get the glares and light spots away let me know I spent hours trying to do it:

I'm not too good with PS, but I'm sure you can correct those spots of light in the first photo. I like the second photo, but they look too washed out. It seems way over exposed. Maybe someone with more PS experience can tell you how to correct these.

Shooting in full sun is such a pain. Was the second shot already post processed? If not could we see the original? I hope you dont mind but I tried a quick correction in PS as well. Ok this is looking a little too colorful on here but with the original image you could do a lot more.

On #2 - apply a gradient tool w/color burn, opacity about 60% from top to bottom - repeat as needed. Works well without over saturating the bottom of the image.

BTW - OP does not have edit and repost OK turned on.....

Ugh. Horrible lighting. In a portrait you shouldn't really have any portion of your frame brighter than your subject.

On #2 were you trying for blown out background and super low contrast?
