It would seem to me a REAL pro would have a broom and brush in the kit to spend just a couple minutes cleaning up around where they are to shoot instead of spending 2-3 times the time clening up the pier during post.

Kidding aside, good job with the post. A much better result and I'm sure the couple will be very happy with the result.

Nice.
...I wonder if you got rid of the horizon what it would look like where the water fades in to the sky? Like a giant outdoor gray seamless

The sky was not blown out, there just weren't any details to recover. I took some clouds from another image I took from a different session and blended them into the grey overcast sky to make it more interesting
