If you want CC you will need to reduce it to 3 photos.

That said, nicely done.

very nice. Looks like you had to deal with some harsh lighting, what time of day was this?

Interesting. I've never seen an engagement shoot in full wedding gear.

#1 Looks like you're getting some odd light/weird effects on the lower half of their faces. I don't know if you've done some editing or if their are compression issues but that area of their faces just looks odd.

#2 and #4 have some harsh light as someone else mentioned, but you work with what you have.

#3 is my favorite. The lighting is good, and I think the B&W works well.

You need to remove one more image, or remove the "CC" request as per forum guidelines.

3. Photo Quantity Limitations
Do not post more than 3 photos in a thread for critique. Choose your absolute best 3 shots of the series and post those. Posting more than 3 shots per thread will only hurt your chances of getting an honest critique since critiques do take time.
