If you're a St. Louis area couple looking for Spring Photo inspiration, I'll be your all-inclusive guide from where to go and what to wear, to how to pose for your perfect shoot!
Whether it is a planned engagement or anniversary, or a surprise proposal photoshoot, here are some of our favorite inspiration picks for couple photography in Spring 2026.
Where to Do Your Spring Photoshoot in St. Louis Missouri and Surrounding Areas
In St. Louis, Missouri and surrounding areas, where most of our photoshoots take place, there are beautiful venues all year long, in any weather. The Missouri Botanical Gardens for example is kept up all year long even through the winter. It is open every day except Christmas, making it a great place for professional engagement photography during any season, but if you like bright florals, Springtime is the season to book your photoshoot.
If you're looking to take photos during the spring or summertime, even a simple picnic in the park can make for a gorgeous shoot. Another advantage to this time of year is all the blooming greenery and flowers that can be incorporated into each shoot.

Now that you have an idea of when and where, you should have a better idea of what comes next- what to wear.
Outfit Ideas for a Spring Couples Photoshoot 2026-2027
The first question you have to ask is not what you like seeing on social media, but rather, what makes you feel your best? If you and your partner feel confident and comfortable, the experience will feel natural and lead to genuine photos, and happy memories to accompany them.
Once you narrow down what you each feel best in, the challenge is how to dress in a way that will photograph well with each other and the scenery.
You may be worried, thinking, I don't want to be too matchy matchy with my partner! Don't worry- there are ways to coordinate photogenic outfits without wearing the same thing.
One way to compliment each others' look is to wear a similar style without matching exact patterns or colors. Or, match the colors and textures, but mix up the style.
This couple pairs a white dress with a very simple black shirt and white pants, providing great contrast to their background, while coordinating together.
If you're looking for more inspo on what to wear, we've put together a guide for that too! Check out that article here.
But it doesn't have to be an entire theme- this couple showed off their boutonnieres adding a floral springtime touch to their photos. Wearing bright colors works beautifully against a green (or any monotone) backdrop.

For engagement, wedding, or proposal photo shoots, utilizing florals makes for pinterest-ready, spring-inspired ring photos.
