I like these very much. The only thing I could possibly pic at is the last pic. While it is an interesting angle and works great for his face shape I think it makes her look heavier and her face fatter. I notice these types of things because I am female and we like
to look a slim as possible, lol
Great skin tones and you have them relaxed in front of the camera

Great series Chris. I'm a traditional kind of person, so my faves are 1,2 and 6. I do agree with Rosemay, there is something abouth the last shot that doesn't look right on the perspective bride. I think they will be very pleased with your work.

Good job Chirs - I like #2 and #3 there expression look very genuine. The BW kissinn one does not do it fo rme but hey it's all subjective (hair is just too dark). I like all the ring shots and the puppy one is a nice unique touch - new beginings. #7 the grooms smile looks forced there not such a natural look to me. I like the angle on the last one , a little closer might have been better - there advice from someone who prefers landscapes and nature so take it all with a gran of salt. - well done and congrats!

Nice Series

Nice Seried Chris... you did a GREAT job!!!

My fav of all of them is actually the simplicity of #5. I really like the angle of thier hands.. You can almost picture him on his knee holding her hand asking her the big question...

#2 you have captured thier smiles wonderfully!!!! I would of liked to see a different angle though.. maybe just a touch more parallel with them to fit more of thier smiles..

I had to LOL when I saw #6... The poor little dog has quite the look on his face...

The only nit picky thing that I have.... which is only my measely two cents.. is in #3 the girls hair around her chin is kind of distracting.. as I said.. IF I was going to nit pick..

The couple should be happy with them... GREAT job!! Thanks for sharing them.. Kim

Real nice series Chris. I especially like 2 and 3 which captured the moment between the two people.

Beautiful,
Love the variety also in the angles, focal lengths and subjects.
Full of life and so engaging.
You can't go wrong Chris!
