It’s natural. The groom’s stance conveys strength, protection. I see them admiring the beauty and power of the sea, perhaps looking to their future together. I don’t think every wedding shot has to have the couple gazing lovingly into one another’s eyes (though I hope you have some that do!).
Yes, fix dust, horizon. This is not a traditional wedding pose, but it feels ‘real.’ I’ll be interested to see other shots.
(I’m no pro. I wouldn’t want to be a friend’s official wedding photographer. But I often take casual photos, surreptitiously, at friend’s events. Sometimes I catch a moment, an expression, a detail that is a bit different. I give them a cleaned-up set on a flashdrive just as another perspective. )

These are beneficial comments, not critical to like others who border on the the extent of being rude. There is always something that can be improved about a photo, but like falconer, I like the moodiness of the scene. This picture will be one the bride and groom will treasure whether it retouched or not.
