What makes a photo a special moment in time? How can a photographer capture a feeling?
As a couple preparing for a photoshoot, it can feel daunting to know just what to expect, especially if it's your first time.
As a photographer, it is my job not only to capture the smiles you share, but each moment between you. The best way to do this is to create an experience to make the memories last as long as the photos taken. I'll be your guide, showing you how to pose while having fun along the way!
Couples Photography Pose Inspiration | Using the Backdrop as a Prop
Our first pose starts with the backdrop. Serving not only as good contrast, a wall, tree, bench, stairs, or other feature can serve as the canvas for your photos. Leaning the taller partner against a tree or wall allows the perfect position for a dynamic photo.
Couples Photography Pose Inspiration | Movie Style
An easy way to create a photo that looks like a movie still is to look away from the camera and engage in laughter, conversation, or movement like walking toward the photographer. Cropping the photo above the waste or shoulders can make it look even more cinematic, especially while leaning in right before the kiss.
Couples Photography Pose Inspiration | Don't Forget the Details
Particularly for wedding, engagement, or proposal shoots, including small details like your rings, flowers, pieces of your background, etc, will help spark memories long after the shoot is over.
