Nicely done.

Really, really nice. I love these.

nice shots! Love the posing! Only thing I would suggest in the future, is maybe a little less shadow on shots like #2 (girls face and under chin). Beautiful work, though!

#1 - good ratio. For the future, raise the light a little higher to get those shadows UNDER the nose and not along side. Drag the shutter a bit to get more of a backlight.
#2 - I like selective focusing. In the future have her turned a bit more to the camera and get MORE light on her (right) side of the face - split lighting doesn't do it here. Have her relax the RIGHT shoulder or shift the balance on the right leg - lowering the shoulder and relaxing the girl - & maybe even moving him to his right to decrease the gap b/n them both AND shallower DOF.
#3 - A bit under. In fact 1-3 are little darker then I'd want to see them.
4-6 I like them, especially #5 "hidden" camera 
Good Luck

there is too much OOF stuff infront of their faces for me and the last the skin tones are too red

Overall they're pretty good. I think the expressions in the first few are way creepy, and you went overboard with the USM in #6.
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.

Yeah that was totally my thought... cool but a bit... dark? Creepy? Something that I would not associate with an engagement shoot.

In the first photos they look sad! Also with more natural light the colours would be maybe happier for the atmosphere!
