The Walk
Capture the couple in motion by having them walk hand-in-hand towards the camera. This pose creates a candid and natural feel, showcasing their connection and love for one another. Try capturing the shot from different perspectives, such as a low angle or a high vantage point, to add interest and depth to the image.
The Lift
This fun and playful pose involves one partner lifting the other off the ground, either in a gentle cradle or a more dramatic, full-body lift. This pose works best when the couple is comfortable with each other and can easily laugh together. Ensure safety by checking the surroundings for any potential hazards before attempting this pose.
The Piggyback Ride
In this playful and youthful pose, one partner carries the other on their back, while both partners smile and look towards the camera. This pose is ideal for couples with a fun-loving and adventurous spirit. To capture the motion and energy, use a faster shutter speed and consider using a wide-angle lens to include more of the beautiful outdoor setting.
The Silhouette
Take advantage of the natural light during golden hour to create a stunning silhouette of the couple. Position them in front of the sun, with their bodies close together and hands intertwined. This romantic pose will create a dramatic and memorable image, emphasizing the couple's connection and the beauty of the outdoor setting.
The Reflection
Utilize nearby bodies of water or reflective surfaces to create interesting and unique couple portraits. Have the couple interact with each other or gaze into each other's eyes while their reflection is captured in the water or on the reflective surface. This creative pose adds an artistic touch and a sense of depth to the image.
The Forehead Kiss
The forehead kiss is a tender and heartwarming pose that exudes love, care, and protection. To achieve this pose, have one partner gently place a kiss on the other's forehead while their arms are wrapped around each other or holding hands. This pose works well when the couple is standing or sitting, and it allows for a variety of emotions to be captured.
The Whisper in the Ear
This intimate and playful pose involves one partner leaning in to whisper something in the other person's ear, eliciting reactions such as laughter, surprise, or a loving gaze. The whisper in the ear pose is a fun pose that showcases the couple's connection and highlights the joy and trust within their relationship. This is an easy pose that can be used to produce candid moments and spontaneous interactions between the couple.
