💑 Tired of awkward poses? Let’s keep it real!
Let’s be honest—stiff, prom-style poses aren’t the vibe when you’re showing off your love story. Your couple photoshoot should feel like you two just being YOU… with a professional there to catch the magic.
Here are a few of our favorite go-to couple poses:
💫 Walking hand-in-hand at golden hour
💕 A cozy back hug or gentle head lean
🌊 Silhouettes by the water (bonus points for heart-shaped hands!)
🥳 Chasing each other and laughing like total goofballs
💋 That quick, real kiss like you’ve known each other forever
Pro tip: Talk to your photographer before the shoot about the vibe you’re going for—so they can help bring it to life!
Tag your person and drop a ❤️ if you’re ready to create magic in front of the lens!

Not sure what to wear for your vacation photoshoot? Start here! ⤵️
👗 Dress for YOU — Beachy & barefoot? City chic? Cozy mountain mood? Whatever your destination, wear something that feels like you. Comfort = Confidence
🌈 Add a pop of color — Neutrals are nice, but a splash of red, yellow, or teal takes your photos from “cute” to “canvas-worthy.”
🧥 Layer up — Especially in city spots like fall in NYC. Layers add dimension and style.
💑 Coordinate, don’t match — For couples or families, think complementary, not copy-paste. Start with one patterned piece and build around it!
✨ Accessorize like a pro — A bright scarf, statement earrings, or fun hat can totally elevate your look—and make you pop in every frame
🎈 Bring a prop (or two) — Balloons, flowers, a cute coffee cup, or even your kiddo’s favorite toy—props can ease nerves and add personality
And most importantly… have fun! Dance, laugh, spin, be goofy. A good mood is the best thing you can wear.
Tag your travel buddy & start planning those vacay looks!
