Default "save the date" help

A co-worker asked I would take his and his fiance's "save the date" photos. Anyone have any photos to share or a website? I need some creative ideas. Thanks

Are they asking you to do a photo shoot where the goal is to capture just ONE image to put on the save the date card? If that's the case, I'd be asking them what they would like and what they envisage their card to look like... most of the time they want this type of thing to be fun and a bit cheeky in my experience.

If they want a whole host of images, check the engagement sticky in this forum as the same principles will apply I'm sure.

I don't have access to the pic I have in mind right now, but I was once asked for an idea on what they should do for a save the date...
she was a teacher... he a police officer...
we went to the school, drew up a calendar for their wedding month on the chalkboard. Heavily circled their date. On one side, the teacher with yard stick pointing at the circle. On the other side, police office, serious look...
