Looks kinda like Tony Hawk...lol.
Great shots. The first one is really good. I hate it when people get pictures of the awkward "did you take it yet?" kiss pose...but you got it right before they kissed, and that makes the difference from a great picture to a "meh" picture.

I'm sure they'll be pleased with your work on the big day.

I have a little trick about that. I tell them to ALMOST KISS but don't actually touch each other.
To make up for my request, I tell them to kiss away after the shot.

beautiful as usual..you are so lucky to have such wonderful architecture to work with..one day im gonna make it your way, Im sure i wont want to leave

I absolutely love your style of photography! Your shots are always great! 1 and 5 are my favorites! To me 5 has an almost dream like feel to it! This lucky couple will definitely enjoy having you freeze their special day for them!

I think I have said this before, but you are definitely my inspiration when it comes to wedding photography!

I *LOVE* #1, #2 is a close runner-up for me. They are all great shots, though!

I like number 1, since it kind of captures the moment (well, good at faking it if you want to put it that way), but the rest are poorly posed.

Number 2 look awkward and distant, okay so they're holding hands, but the way they look at different directions and smile shows more of self-content than of the relationship.

Number 3 looks like a snapshot composition, except the lighting is good.

And number 4, I don't quite like the tilt, also it looks blurry.

Last number 5, she's not looking at him.

I guess I'm a bit critical, but the discrepancy of quality between this series and your other work is GREAT.

Now Phototron, don't you know by now that it's a MUST that you adore ALL my stuff??? LOL. Just kidding. Thanks for your thoughts.
Not sure why you think 3 is snapshot though. That's a straight PPA type pose that I normally don't even do because it's too "formal".

Still, I enjoy hearing your response.
Ottowa- You made my day! Thank you!

Very beautiful engagement photos. Very well done in my opinion!

Ooh, I have to remember that one too! These are very nice again. I like the contrast in them.

Ha...I love all of them and #3 does not look like a snapshot IMO. Great shots as usual:mrgreen:

I love the kiss pose the best, it looks romantic without being icky! I think I'm going to use your trick next time!

There are a couple tricks that I have in my head for my next wedding!!! I think you (cindy) should have a special trick thread !!!

Okay maybe not, I guess you can't share all your tricks with us! I'll just write them down everytime you mention one!!!!
