We’re delighted to present our fourth and final Real Weddings styled shoot that’s featured in the just released Winter/Spring 2025 issue! We have a rule during our shoots: no lip on lip kissing. Why, you ask? Because the lipstick will transfer and we’ll have to stop shooting to fix it. So throughout our shoots, we’ll see our couples go in for a little smooch and our editor Wendy will playfully holler, ” No kissing, no kissing!” So our couples have to get a little creative…kissing foreheads, kissing shoulders, kissing necks. Well, that’s EXACTLY what our real couple models Mina & Alex did during our “Crazy in Love” shoot (hence the title of our shoot!!!)! When we were at the end of the shoot, Wendy finally said that they could do a real kiss and it took Alex less than a nano-second to plant one on his beloved Mina! These two were so much fun to spend our shoot day with…and we’ve got the photos to prove it! We think you’ll agree that our creative team designed sets that were breathtaking, and our couple made them magical! Feast your eyes on this beautiful wedding inspiration styled shoot:
