From an engagement shoot- I have never worked in so much wind in my life. It was almost unbearable.

Apparently the harsh conditions lead to very nice results, Elsa :D

The second shot is lovely. Atmosphere permeated with romance. The couple ought to be happy about the outcome.

Both are nice, the first one is touching by the light and the combination with a slighly backed out spectator position. Like someone passing by just taking a street like shot of a pair of nature friends adoring the weather.
Shot from outside the private zone, which lets me think about how impressive the conditions were for the photographer.
The second one is full of expressive emotions.

Thank you Frank, Fons and Armando.
It wasnt cold at all - we have been having a heat wave or 6 here in SA lately.
But that wind was something else.
Oh and the engagement is off. (probably only till they kiss and make up)  !
I was booked for the wedding already - and its a fancy expensive affair - I want to do that wedding for sure.

I like them both very much.  I would burn in the people's a bit in the second ... Just to see what happens.  Different may or not be better.

Good job, Elsa !

I see the second one a little bit soft. Probably just a feeling just after seeing the first very contrasty.

Very romantic, so fiancés will be pleased. :-*
