I don't shoot a ton of engagements, although it is something I enjoy. Unlike a wedding I feel like a photographer has much more control over the image. So in that light, I would appreciate honest critique and comments about the images.

1-5

The only ones that I really didnt feel that strong about were 10, 11 and 12. 12 mainly because 13 says the same thing only better. 10 and 11 I just didn't feel that great about the pose and lighting on those.

The rest of the set I enjoyed

SloPhoto, for some reason you can't do that and use the FM image upload. Next time I'll link them. Yeah I used automatic sharpening when I exported them. Now that I look closely, some look over sharpened, some look under.

Thank Danh.

Thanks for taking the time Nextel. Looking at it now I think 10 is a little green on the skin tones. Point taken about 12 and 13.

Would crop #8 frame right..just seems white for no reason. 5 she seems more aware of the photog and less 'strolling with fiance happily'.

SloPhoto wants me to critique so here it goes.
I see what you are trying to do here but a lot of these shots either seem like snapshots (and not in a good way) or like they are poorly composed.

One of the big things you have to do is isolate the couple so that the subject and focus of the photo is on them. A lot of them like 1, 2, 3, 6 are really nice. When you have the couples in those situation engage them. Get them talking, talk to them, make them laugh, get them to act natural and wait for that moment. 3 is really nice but his expression is just meh. The expressions in a lot of these just don't do it for me. They are not bad or missed just not quite there.

Watch the hot spots and weird lighting as well. 8, 9, and 11 suffer from weird lighting. It is hot, hits them weird and does not flatter them. My eye is drawn to the hot spots or the dark spots and take my eye away from them.

Also what is up with the use of several different languages on your website?

Hope that helps. I feel like a bad guy when I am honest but i am just trying to help

Nope, that was well thought out and constructive.
