Cool First Portrait Shoot

Hello everybody! I am quite pleased with this shoot! I had never gone to this beach before the shoot took place. I went with what I could at the time! Does anyone have any opinions on my shots? Anything that could have made these better?

Thank You!

Overall speaking I like the photos. The couples seems very natural.
I have some notes/questions:
- Why do you have a 800 ISO in this photos?
- I think some photos have some focus problem. I not sure about this because the files don't allow must zoom. (First thing about portraits is: the eyes need to be in focus).
- I think that some photos could be better if you added a fill flash or a reflector. Those where the faces are in the shadows.

just some thoughts... I'm not a pro.

I like the pics. Didn't look at them super close but did notice the shadows on their faces so the use of a reflector might have eliminated some of that. Also, don't know how flexible you were as far as time goes, but utilizing the "golden hour" might have made the lighting more pleasing and again eliminated the harsh shadows.
