If you are shooting a love story with a certain style of a young couple, you can divide the shooting into two parts. Dedicate one to shooting in natural light, the other to using filters.
Of course, this must be discussed with the subjects of the shooting in advance. The image also depends on the tasks.
If young people open to creativity, experiments, shooting will be a pleasure for both the photographer and the subjects of the shooting themselves. She will definitely be remembered.
