F8 ISO200 1/40 would have worked much better for sure.

Previous photos had her in focus but not him. Started at F8 then F10 and so on. All had him no in focus.
Thank you for that info.
That will always be the problem close up with faces at varying distances from the camera. The depth of field simply isnīt enough to cover all in many cases. The best thing is to focus in-between the varying distances so both will be "equally sharp/unsharp". This has made me pull my hair more than once when photographing evens and people donīt line up at the same distance from the camera.
At F22 you will most likely get both in focus no matter what but nothing will be really sharp. 1/10s is extremely slow even for posing humans too so it probably didnt help.
