Well it's starting to get warm down here again (thank god) and I had a chance to go out with some gorgeous clients and shoot their engagement session. The Duke Gardens is a beautiful and non-profit gardens donated by Sarah Duke to the university. Due to their popularity, professional photographers must be permitted to work out there but, to be honest, that is a good thing because they only let one professional work at a time.
Very clean shots. I like the natural look. I'm not too sure on the BW reflection one as it doesn't seem to fit in. One more thing, I'd love to see you use more of your backgrounds rather than being focused on the subjects. That fountain in the last one looks beautiful - show more of it.
The ring on #8 was kind of hidden/ignored due to your watermarking. At first, thought your focus was on the woman (and thought it was soft, if that's what you were going for), but finally got to the ring after searching a bit around the photo.
Clean shots all around. Agreed with Mitch. #9 looks a little forced.
Disagree with previous poster re: the fountain. It's almost too noticeable for my tastes... show even more of it and you got yourself a great tourist snapshot and this isn't even Trevi I find fountains to be useful as a creator of cool bokeh ... otherwise the less I see of them the better.
