I love your use of natural light and you look like you had a great couple to work with!
However, I would suggest that you pay a little more attention to how you're framing them or cropping them in post production. Typically, cutting them off at the knees, feet, gluteus, etc, isn't a good thing. Other than that, they look pretty nice!

I'm totally cool with the composition you've got going here. I think they're great on their own but then I think they're even better considering it's your first e-shoot! The ring shot is freaking awesome, by the way.

To me, I would like the 1st photo more if it was more sharp. But it has a good composition.

I really like the idea you had going with the ring shot! Very creative. I wouldn't worry about the composition in these. Your composition looks fine especially since you actually captured real moments with the couple. I also REALLY liked how you put the sun to their back and let it lighten up their hair. The see saw picture is great, but does seem as if it could use just a touch of a contrast bump.

I like the series too. Composition could be a little more careful, but that's a nitpick speaking as a photographer - your clients won't see them that way, I'm sure they love them. Color is great, clean processing. I agree about the saw picture- push up the black clipping or the contrast a bit - strong backlight can give you a bit of halation / haze, it's easy to fix. I'm loving the backlight - really well used.

In the first shot, the foreground to me is too distracting from the subject. There is a nice feel to the series, but I agree that sometimes there is too much info in the frame.
