Wedding photography Editing Noise

[captainjack]

This first image is straight out the camera into Lightroom 3 and just used as an example .

Now I have crop to 1.1 in Lightroom would all the noise showing need to be removed in editing or is it because, I have gone to 1.1 would this noise show up an image say 12 x 10 what about a canvas.

I can remove the noise, but not sure if I need to, then I have to start sharpening selectively as getting rid of the noise is making it less sharp

Thank you for help and advice.

I am not a wedding tog.
Personally I would remove the noise from at least the skin and dress.
Grey suit, I wouldn't worry about.

I would selectively sharpen the hair, mini-crown-thing (the name escapes me), and the beading on the dress. Just cos it shows up better.

My first impression was that you are back-focusing by around 1ft. The chap to the left appears in better focus than the bride.

You might want to gaussian blur the whole image (2-6px?), and mask out the bride and groom.

But that is just me, and it needs to be played with, to see what you like as a personal preference.
