So, I guess I'm fairly excited and possibly a little nervous at my friend's request to take some photo's of him and his fiance for their wedding invitations. Excited because I get to help out some friends of mine with something I really like to do (photography). But nervous at the same time because I don't really know too much regarding posed portraits (I usually have shot landscape or candid shots at best).
I'm wondering if anyone would be able to give me some tips for shooting posed portraits? Perhaps some ideas for interesting poses, props or backdrops (we'll be in the mountains for the shoot)?

Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated!
