Be it the rain, the woods, the sea, anything, and everything can be a creative prop to your wedding photoshoot. Go crazy, add that extra filmy jazz to anything pose that you strike! Don’t be afraid to get drenched in the rain, cling on to your partner like it is nobody’s business. Treat every opportunity that you get like it is your best shot at creating something magical. Go the extra mile with the colors that you choose to wear, take the craziest outfit inspirations, wear the ones that you never thought that you would wear. There is literally no rulebook that measures the perfect amount of drama and romance, so this is your shot at being the best model you will ever be. Sport your best attitude and boss up for every frame possible.

Creativity doesn’t just stop with one idea, or it doesn’t have to be a million ideas put together. There is no right way of doing this, think outside the box, get totally dramatic and make everyone around you feel the heat. But keep in mind to not try too hard. Be natural in front of the camera, because there is nothing sexier than being comfortable with yourself while also pushing your boundaries a little bit.
