Just look around and find things that can inspire your design. It’s not a new idea to make common things serve you like they don’t usually do it.
Make creative photos
But all these tips wouldn’t work if you make common boring photos like everyone does. Kisses? Yes! Hugs? Definitely! But they shouldn’t be the same as 1 billion photos before your save the date photo! Every detail can help you to make unique photos:
- light;
- colour;

- poses;
- gestures.
Of course, good experienced photographer will find a trick to represent your couple the best way. But even a professional can show a low level of creativity. It depends, you know. So tell him your crazy stunning ideas to make a photo that could be awarded and placed on the cover!
