5 Couples Poses

Do you have a couples session coming up maybe even an engagement shoot? It’s hard to know how to pose for photos especially if you aren’t used to being in front of a camera. Everyone wants those adorable candid photos but not everyone knows how to get them. I’m here to help!

The drunk walk. Lets start out with my all time favorite. One partner wrap their arm around the other and interlock your fingers together. Make sure your look at each other or one person look at the camera and do the ‘tipsy walk’. Stumble around.

Intimate kisses. Next we have the classic kiss on the cheek or the temple. Make sure you are wrapped around each other all cute. Have one partner give the other a kiss on the temple or the forehead. Make sure you both have your eyes closed!

The Twirl. This one is a staple for every couples photoshoot. The key to this is be wearing a dress. Always have one hand on your dress holding it out. When doing this don’t do a full 360. Start in facing your partner and only go until you’re facing the camera then go back to facing your partner. Do this over and over again to get different candids.

The Airplane. This is a cute new posing prompt I used during my last photo session and I loveeeee the results. I don’t know why I didn’t try it sooner!! Have one partner in front and one in back. Hold hands however you feel comfortable and move your arms in the motion of a airplane.

The piggy back ride. This one is a classic. This one is pretty self explanatory but I always tell my couples to make it the bumpiest piggy back ride ever. That always gets genuine laughs and candid photos.
