First time doing engagements

[Ouhei]

Some good friends of mine asked if I'd do their engagement photos and I agreed. Decided since I've never done them before and they're good friends, I'd do it for free. It was a good learning experience (first time I've had to pose anyone) and I'm fairly happy with the results. I'm going to go back and edit a few of them (as they're slightly over exposed) but here's a few of them.

They're really happy with them, and said their family/friends have been loving them too so I guess that's nice. Next time I know a few things to avoid but for my first time out I'm happy, I also learned some processing stuff in my editing of them so all in all, it was a good thing.

You mentioned about the exposure, so see if you can correct that.

Love this shot:

They look great.

That RR track kiss is superb! (As long as you can darken it a little.) Thanks for showing us!

#2 and #3 are great. If you had an assistant to help you control the light a little better with diffusers and reflectors, they would have been perfect.

Thanks for the compliments guys (and gals). I had a friend with a diffusor for a few of the shots, but we didn't really know when to use it. That's one of the things we learned as we went and I could do better next time. I did go back and turn the exposure down on them all last night, just didn't have time to upload them again.

Good job on the photos them self's, now if you haven't told me that they where engagment photo's i would have thought they are just regular couple portraits. I would have loved to see the engagement ring on her hand in some of the photo's
