2. Be Yourselves

If you and your partner are goofballs, staring intensely into the camera for those “serious” photos may not be the way to go. Don’t be afraid to be yourselves and get goofy in front of the camera.

4. Choose a Sentimental Location 

Choosing a location that holds a special place in your hearts is so much more meaningful than just taking your photos at the most scenic spot in town. Get inspiration from thinking about the place you met, fell in love, your favorite date spot, or the proposal location.

  1. Great advice! I love it when couples include their four legged family members!

  2. Great tips and inspiring ideas. Often when you introduce a third subject element in the picture frame, you take off the pressure from the couple to perform. The pictures come out more spontaneous and at ease. Like the ones above. Great shots!

  3. There are so many awesome photos here. I love how gorgeous they all are.

  4. How fantastic . I’m very inspire to see those .
