Maria Bentley is a worldwide known wedding photographer that travels the world along with her husband, Nick. She is the lucky winner of VH1’s The Shot, which is kind of like America’s Next Top Model for photographers. Her no. #1 tip? Don’t complicate things too much.

“Try not to get caught up in the rules too much—it can stifle you. Learn the rules to break them!
