Default sweetestcouple ever :)

This is the second couple I've shot, and they were absolutely a blast to work with. The guy insisted on wearing his sunglasses so at the end of the shoot she broke down and let him put them on. But they are still adorable together with or without sunglasses.

ok. they do look cute together but:
1. the sky is really blown out. since you've used flash you could have toned down the ISO to get the sky into the photo as well (unless they were gray / white to begin with).
2. cut off limbs. his right hand fingers are cut off, her left hand disappears behind his body (which could have been ok if the right hand was hugging him too) and his left elbow is cut off while there is so much space on the left side of the photo.
3. the wall. I'm guessing you liked the wall and it's texture, so why not include more of it in the photo? you could have changed your angle to the right and gotten more of the wall and less of the parking lot(?) in the background.

sorry if that came out harsh but I believe that's the way to learn.

well thank you for your thoughts. Yes it was raining all that day so we went out when it stopped, the sky was very grey. and I am not sure if you can tell but the wall kind of stopped. it was just a giant window othewise. that is why it is cut off like that, or else, yes i would have definitely put more wall into the picture. Yes i agree his arm and hands shouldn't have been cut off, but I liked that only her one arm was wrapped around him. maybe I should have gone a little farther than cutting it off at her elbow. so considering that situation was it over all a good shot?

I like the colors. But the fact that is a profile shot (to both of them) it makes the picture flat in my opinion. Maybe taking a step to your right and throwing the backgound out of focus.
