The Cute Stare
The best tip we could give you is to act as naturally as possible. Pretend no photographer is shooting your love. Simply be, so you can seize the intimate authenticity that makes your relationship unique. You can sit on your partner’s lap and tell one another a sweet phrase, or simply dive deep into each other’s eyes. These small gestures will allow your most intimate part to reflect on the shots.

The Headrest
Here’s a beautiful way to transmit intimacy and love, in an easy and stress-free way. Simply sit leaning on each other’s backs. Then, rest your heads on each other’s shoulders. Close your eyes and feel the homely comfort of your partner, as the photographer proceeds to shoot. Make sure this shot is captured from a top angle to allow your comfortable, loving expressions to show up.

The “I’ve Got You” Pose
A straightforward, effective way to showcase romance and love is this. Stand or sit facing one another. Have one of you put the hand on the partner’s heart as the receiver holds onto it. You can make sure your foreheads touch too, to add up an extra intimate and connected result.

The Face Grab
Now what shouts more protection, love, and sensuality than a face grab? A classic but great couple photo involves a close-up of your lovers’ faces as the man grabs his woman’s face in his hand. Make sure the gesture feels delicate, romantic, loving, and protective with a slightly alluring touch.

The Intimate Close-Up
Close-ups can feel a bit stressful, but I can assure you, they’re so worth it! For a loving and simple couple photo outcome choose to get a close-up of the two of you as you’re about to kiss. Yes, kiss in slow motion to get that cheeky, impatient, sweet smile and expression that comes with it!

Would You Lean On Me?
You don’t need to get too romantic if you don’t feel like it. A beautiful outcome can also be achieved with a natural, yet effective “Will you lean on me?” pose. You can do so by sitting or standing as the woman of the couple leans on her partner’s shoulder (or vice versa, of course). It will result in a simple, intimate, and casual-looking shot.

The Spontaneous Embrace
Now, think about hugs a bit more creatively. You can pose with one another in a sweet, warm embrace as you whisper fun and loving quotes in your ears to get in a fun, spontaneous, and intimate mood. Make sure you showcase that loving connection to the camera.

Get together, one in front of the other as you gaze at each other. Make sure the sun sets right in the middle of your profiles. See how magic will unfold in the shot!

Hanging Out With Your Bestie
Now, couple’s photos don’t only include romantic pictures! You can get some great couple shots by showcasing your casual and comfortable friendship. After all, your partner should be your best friend first! So simply hang out with your lover, sip on some wine, go for a walk, and have a deep conversation. Showcase that deep connection in simply being you.

The Devoted Gaze
Here’s a great shot idea that won’t only result in a cute couple photo, but can only become a fun couple’s game too! Stand with a slight distance one in front of the other. Then, gaze at each other devotedly. This means you are not allowed to look anywhere else if not at your partner standing a few feet apart from you. You’ll see how genuine, meaningful, and profound this exercise will be. The depth will showcase in your shots too!

Hold My Hand, Will You?
Of course, we cannot miss one shot holding hands. Such a natural and relaxed way to showcase love, intimacy, and romance, So simply hold your beloved’s hand as you both walk towards the camera lens. Stare at one another, talk to each other, and crack some jokes to get some great candid shots.

The Capture Of Love
A beautiful, simple yet creative way to capture love is this: don’t focus on the two of you. Have different pictures that focus on one partner as he/she stares at his/her love - and vice versa. This shot will allow you to truly focus on the loving expression and feelings of both of you, without being too posed or over-elaborated.

Remember that what matters the most is that you stay present, connected, and in love. That’s what will show the most, and what you’ll always love to remember and look back at!
