I took this shot a few weeks ago and I am looking for C&C. Feel free to recommend edits or if you want to edit it go ahead. I have the .RAW file if interested!

Looks like a good exposure, good lighting, and good pose.

Congratulations!

Looks good to me. Clone out the two green poles and single gray one at the top right.

Nice in B+W, similar to the Panasonic Dynamic B+W look, settings used?

Should be in the EXIF, but clearly isn't.

It'd be about
calrity +10
vibrance +1
sat. -99
contrast +75

exp. +0.2?
fill 25
blacks 50
rec 20

strong contast curve w/ boosted shadwos about + 8 and darks +2

Colour mixer basically auto

2-5% blue tint shadows
bal. 60%ish
10-15% yellow tint on the highlights.

-50 or so vignette midpoint around 30/35

+0.60 painted exp on the faces and underside of brolly (I can remeber this bit!!)
+0.25 painted exp on the side of the groom
+0.10 on the rest of the groom.

Thats about it for the B&W image...

Sorry forgot to savev the image because it was only intented as a quick, inspirational thing. Took about 30-60 seconds for each working.

If you want to send me a few RAW's to work on Rob - PM me for my email adress and I'll go over them ASAP. Just because I'm really working hard this month to touch up my PP skills- so I don't mind at all

I think your original is the best in terms of color registration. Something to consider is making the background B/W which in my opinion adds a nice contrast and dimension to the subject (split tone printing). I am not fond of the background above the umbrella either and might crop it out entirely.
