Perhaps having the tree trunks and the shadows between them all at a similar deep medium value will help instead. (Perhaps 6 or 7 on a nine-value scale with nine being black.) My main concern was with the strong contrast between the trees and the spaces, creating a dramatic picket fence backdrop that fought for attention with the foreground.
You can preserve most of the light in the tops of the trees in the background, to keep the feeling of bright sun, as long as the saturated colors, complexity, etc don't take too much attention away from the figures.
It may be too late to make much change here. Next time when you are setting up a photo shoot, choosing a less attention-getting background will probably help you a lot.
Glad they like it!
