Lovely couple. Nice attempt but. . .

The photo is very dark on my monitor while the colouring is very orange.

I like it...nice photo; maybe the background could have been a little more blurred

I think it's underexposed and lacks contrast.
plus, I agree with photologyst the the colors are too orangy and bright.
I've edited it to give you a sense of what I mean...

i agree with the pps that the faces are too dark and the background is too light. i like mr j's edit. i do like their nice and easy expressions and its a nice clear capture.

i too, find the faces dark and too warm. duplicated the image and just a levels adjustment on the midtones and with the middle eyedropper clicked on the right white of her eyes to correct the color.. applied layer mask and brushed the bg to show original bg color.

Thanks for the tips. I have edited the photo a little brightened up their face and cooled the picture a little. I don't have it on me but I will post later if I get chance. Thanks again.
