Two ways about taking the next step.
1. lawyer - sure, you can go this route, it's expensive on both sides, takes a long time, will burn your bridge with the venue, hard ache and lots of head ache.
OR
2. The nice guy approach - Ask the couple that is in the image if they mind being the poster couple for this venue. If they are happy, move to the second step. Make an appointment to see the venue. Tell them you just want to chat about the billboard, no lawyer talk, just civil discussion. Go meet with them and see if you can find a realistic balance. They should pay you for the right to use the image. They should also do something special for the couple in the image. They should also place you at the top of their vendor list and build a NICE professional relationship with You.
Most venues/people have NO IDEA what they are doing. No idea about copyright, use of image, etc. All they know, is that they like the image. IF after you meet with them, if they are anything but amazing and they are mean to you, then seek help.
If they bend over backwards and want to work with You, take that high road and work hard to stay there.
I would take the Nice Guy angle first, SO MUCH EASIER!!
