Thanks Denise and no its not harsh its good constructive comments. I did actually take a photo of them on the bench and many others I have only posted a small selection here. But I did not do the ring thing, to be honest I am not keen on that kind of thing I find it a bit cheesy to be honest.

Thanks for taking the time to comment

I'd also drop photos where their eyes are closed as it'll make them look asleep, or in the case of number two where it's coupled with smiles it'll make them look drunk.

Number 4 is my favourite as you get a sense of tenderness from it, though the processing is a little cold.

Thank you...

I never thought of the eyes thing but a good point, I would not have closed eyes any other time but personally I like No2 one of my favourites as I thought it captured their happiness.


I think the only time closed eyes are OK is when they are laughing but that's just my personal opinion

Hi John

Wonderful flexibility you've shown then, what with the bad weather and having to shoot mostly indoors.

Having said that, along with many others, I really like number 5 out of all of them.

Thank you so much that is very kind of you to say

Yeah I was so annoyed, my first ever engagement/pre-wedding shoot and it rains. The rest of the week was spot on even the very next day was fine and dry but luckily we did get about 10min just before we all had to go when it stopped raining so I quickly got them outside and got a few shots which turned out the best
