Hey there, lovebirds! So, you’re gearing up for your couples photo session and want to make it extra special? Great idea! Incorporating personal touches into your photos is the perfect way to showcase your unique story and love. Plus, it’s way more fun than just standing there with a stiff smile! As a couples photographer, I’m here to help you bring your personalities to life in your photos.


1. Props! Props! Props

When it comes to props, think outside the box! Whether it’s a favorite book, a musical instrument, or even your dog (because who wouldn’t want their fur baby in the shot?), bring items that represent who you are as a couple. Just imagine the adorable photo of you both snuggled up with your pup while sipping hot cocoa in the winter—that’s definitely frame-worthy!


2. Color Your Love

Colors play a huge role in your photos! Think about your favorite shades and how you can incorporate them into your outfits or props. This doesn’t mean you both need to show up in matching neon jumpsuits (unless that’s your jam, then I won't judge!). Instead, consider complementary colors that reflect your personalities.

Add Some Flair: Bring along items in your favorite colors—like a picnic blanket, flowers, or balloons. Trust me; your pictures will look like a scene from a romcom…


3. Write It Down

Ever thought about incorporating words into your photos? A cute sign with your favorite quote or even your wedding date can add a personal touch and serve as a wonderful backdrop.

Personal Messages: You could even write little notes to each other and have them in the frame or put the notes in envelops for each other to open during the session!


4. Get Creative with Your Setting

Let’s face it, the setting is everything! Choose a location that means something to you both—maybe it’s the place where you had your first date or where you enjoy weekend brunches (bonus points if there’s mimosas involved).

Choose Meaningful Locations: You could even set up a mini picnic at your favorite park with blankets, snacks, and your favorite drinks. Picture it: a beautiful setting, delicious food, and a photographer (that’s me!) capturing all the sweet moments.


5. Bring Your Favorite Food or Drink!

Who doesn’t love a good snack? Incorporate your favorite food or drink into the shoot! Whether it’s a couple of ice cream cones, a shared slice of pizza, or some vintage coke bottles, including a little treat can add a fun and personal touch to your photos. It’s a great way to showcase your personalities and give you something to interact with.


By incorporating these personal touches into your couples photos, you’re not just creating beautiful images; you’re telling your unique love story. And as your photographer, I’m here to help every step of the way! So grab those props, throw on your favorite outfits, and let’s make some magic happen. I can’t wait to capture the essence of your love in photos you’ll cherish for a lifetime!
