Couple Photo Session
A guide for your
Couples and engagement sessions are all about celebrating your connection and capturing the unique bond you share. With a little planning, we can create a relaxed and fun experience that results in stunning photos. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for your session!
Location
The setting for your photos plays a big role in telling your story. Do you love the outdoors? Consider a scenic park, forest, or beach. Prefer something more modern? A cozy café, urban downtown, or meaningful spot like where you had your first date can make the session extra special. If you’re unsure where to go, I’m happy to recommend locations that match your vision and style.
Timing
For the most romantic lighting, plan your session during the "golden hour," shortly after sunrise or before sunset. This time of day offers soft, dreamy light that flatters every couple. If these times don’t fit your schedule, no problem—we’ll work with the best light available at your chosen location.
Inclement Weather
Rain doesn’t have to ruin the day! If the forecast looks questionable, we can reschedule or choose an indoor venue. But if you’re up for it, rainy-day photos can be incredibly romantic. Think umbrellas, cozy embraces, and dancing in the rain for a one-of-a-kind session!
What to Wear
Your outfits should reflect your personalities and make you feel confident and comfortable. Choose complementary colors rather than matching exactly—soft neutrals, pastels, or muted jewel tones work beautifully in photos. Adding layers, textures, or accessories like a scarf or jacket can bring extra dimension and interest to your look. Avoid bold logos or busy patterns that can distract from the connection between you and your partner.
If you’re unsure about what to wear, I’m happy to provide advice or help you narrow down your options to find the perfect outfits for your session.
