What’s the best thing for two hot-and-heavy newlyweds to do post-wedding? Get naked and do a photo shoot, naturally.

That’s the idea behind “Adam and Eve” photo shoots, a new offering from wedding photographer Matt Adcock and his team at Del Sol Photography.

We spoke with Adcock about the inspiration behind the photos, how to capture the perfect couple shot and how he gets his clients to look so graceful underwater.
