Having your photo taken with your significant other can be a wonderful way to preserve a specific moment in your lives. For example, you might want to commemorate an anniversary, an engagement, or your first pregnancy. However, it can be challenging to know how to pose together in the photography studio in a flattering way that also speaks to your bond. Here are a few tips to help capture captivating images of you and your partner.

How to Take Great Couples Photos

1. Play Into Your Emotions

First, think about who you are as a couple and what gives you a unique spark. Use this to show the true essence of your relationship. If you’re quieter and more reserved, cozy and tender poses may be your go-to. For example, stand with the shorter person's head on the other's chest or with your foreheads touching. If you tend to be playful and silly, lean in and whisper a joke in each other’s ear. In either case, be conscious of maintaining contact to stay in tune with one another. 

2. Don’t Be Afraid to Move 

Many couples stiffen up as soon as they walk into a photography studio. Introducing some movement to your poses can help eliminate awkward, uncomfortable stances and make you feel more at ease in front of the camera. You can walk hand-in-hand towards the photographer or try dancing to remain fluid. This will also provide the opportunity to get candid shots that catch spontaneous and fun moments between the two of you.

3. Mix It Up

Overall, your session should be a mix of traditional and innovative shots. As such, get a few poses where you’re both looking into the camera and smiling. However, you should also opt for more authentic interactions where you are looking at each other instead. Take both up-close shots and ones that are more at a distance, as well as standing and seated photos. This way, you will have variety in the final images, increasing the chances of having photos you love.
