well, they're terrible. ignoring composition, I still screwed up technically a few times because I wasn't really thinking about it. I had told them we'd need a few hours.. we get there and I find out she has to be somewhere else in like 1 hour. felt rushed the whole time.
no PP except white balance and resize.. I won't do anything else but crop a few and maybe try 1 or 2 in b&w

I think a better lighting set up could have helped the shots, but they're pretty good. what were you using for lighting?

here's some comments, just my opinion and what I'd do to make it better next time. 
again, just my opinion, but i hope it helps
the shadows make this one a little weird but overall i like it
they are too far away, it looks really awkward and he needs to take his hands out of his pocket
they are squinting big time, if its really bright out, try to find a covered shade spot
i like the idea, I'd like to see a more shallow DOF
arms are extremely awkward
their feet shouldn't be cut off, and maybe leave empty space the direction they are facing
prob my favorite shot
good
better arm placement here, i like it
the feet cut off bothers me again, i'd crop some of the empty space on the left out
wtf arms?
good, maybe crop a bit tighter? cut off some of top and some of the right side.
again, just my opinion, but i hope it helps

I like the lighting on the last one, I wonder what a low powered fill flash would look like though. I like most of them, good job!

Theyre not THAT bad, some are too soft but I'm sure they'll end up liking them and that's what matters (to them). At long focal lengths watch your shutter speed: remember, the longer it is, the harder it is to hold it steady

seriously, why he didnt drop the F stop and bump up the shutter speed is beyond me
he couldve easily shot some in iso 100
thanks for quoting all of the pics, i wasnt sure which ones you were referring tohere's some comments, just my opinion and what I'd do to make it better next time.

580ex on camera in manual. the flash was recycling very slowly, though, and I missed a lot of shots.. I couldn't figure out why. when I got home I took the batteries out and found out that apparently either my brother or sister took my rechargeable batteries and put in crappy ones.
I should have taken them out to charge even if they didn't need, and then I would have noticed.

As long as they like it, thats all that matters.
true that. I may have only liked 1 or 2, but they liked at least half of em

on the wtf arms pic, she was trying to show off the ring a bit. and yeah I kept telling them when posing them to do what felt natural and comfortable, but a lot of them still look very awkward.
the shot where he's down on one knee, I couldn't figure out later what I didn't like about it, but it is definitely the DOF. when I got the idea for that I was much further away shooting at almost 200mm.. after I posed em I was closer and went to 70mm.. didn't even think about it. 4ft dof changed to 20ft.
