I think you captured their relationship well. Looks like fun.

Nice set. I really love the last one!!
I think the color on the first is a bit cool (esp compared to the second one).

Not to be mean....you have the start of some very nice ideas however the lighting falls flat in all the shots. We need to paint with light to give direction and depth to the photograph. You needed to direct her with her choice of clothing as it really competes with her face. Look how his face stands out with his choice as opposed to hers (her pale complexion didn't help you either). As a professional you need to explain this to your clients for a better photograph. Hope you can see some of my concerns.

Thank you for your comments! When I read them, I see exactly what you mean. Hopefully when I do this again, I'll remember your advice and be able to incorporate it, and improve a bit with my photography.
