Posing Ideas for Couples

Want cute photos with your boo and don't want to look stiff like a board? Look no further! Here are my favorite poses for couples that I frequently incorporate into my photoshoots :)

1. The Walk-Away

Walk away from the camera and hold hands, looking at each other adoringly.

2. The Follow Me

Grab your partner's hand and lead them to the left or right of the camera while looking back at your partner, as if to show them something "over there". This posing prompt gives both of you a job to focus on rather than feeling stiff and awkward in front of the camera. Photos will appear more candid and natural and less posed! Genuine smiles appear on both faces and really highlight your connection.

3. The Classic Couple

A go-to pose that outlines masculine features is to face the camera straight-on, whereas a go-to pose that outlines feminine features is to stand sideways to the camera. Combine these two poses, add an embrace and a loving look in the eye.

4. The Twirl and Pop

Pick up your partner and, well, twirl! Make sure to pop that foot out to visually balance the photo and add motion.

5. The Silhouette

You're positioned exactly between the camera and the sun. Kiss for bonus points.

6. The Almost Kiss

Person A holds the back of Person B's head, running fingers through hair. Person B places hands on Person A's chest. Lean in until the sides of your noses are touching, but leave space between your lips. Either relax your faces or both smile. A timeless pose that's not too mushy.

7. Alternating Cheek Kisses

You kiss one of your partner's cheeks, and then kiss the other cheek, and then back to the other, and then the other, over and over and over again....and it always leads to genuine smiles and giggles - thus beautiful, candid shots!

8. In a Car

Use the seat backs, window frames, and door to frame the perimeters of the photo. If there are two people in the car, back sure to stack your faces so you can both be seen.

9. The Titanic

Stand in front of your partner towards the wind and stretch both of your arms. Lean your heads towards each other.
