Hi Geraldine

I think you've got a pretty good likeness there but my first impression is that it is all too grey and washed out. When I scrolled down I found the source photo and I think you could deepen your image overall, somewhat. If you make his suit darker for starters, that will throw her forward. I am guessing that they are blonder than they look in the photo?

Please post progress photos, I'd be interested to see how it turns out.
