Tips Cute Pose Ideas For Engagement Pics

January 13, 2020

If you’ve recently added a sparkly new accessory to your left ring finger, or are planning an engagement, getting the perfect pictures is a great way to capture the moment as it happens or show your love after you’re engaged. Like wedding photos, there are lots of engagement photo poses and shots to choose from to make your engagement photos (and you) look amazing. A professional photographer can help you get the best couple poses possible, but getting some ideas ahead of time for what you want is a great idea. Check out these cute couple poses and engagement photo tips for ideas to get you started.

Engagement Photo Poses

Choosing engagement photo poses doesn’t have to be complicated, and chances are, if you feel uncomfortable, you’ll look uncomfortable in the picture. Be open with your photographer about what feels natural, but be open to suggestions. Try to follow their direction as much as possible while still enjoying the moment with your significant other.

You’ll want to get a variety of shots and poses so you’ll have plenty of options when it comes to choosing which photo you will use for your wedding announcements or which you’ll frame and hang in your home. Getting a professional photographer can help you capture the magic and spirit of your proposal, so you can treasure that moment forever.

Romantic Poses

Since engagement photo poses are meant to show off how adorable the two of you are together, you will most likely want some romantic poses. Get a few shots of you kissing, dancing, embracing cheek-to-cheek, and walking while holding hands. Try variations of one partner wrapping their arms around the other from behind and facing each other. Mix it up with shots from the front, as well as shots that highlight your profiles.

Traditional Poses

You may also want some traditional side-by-side photos to give to family members or hang on your wall. Use stairs, chairs, a stool, or a wall to add variety and remember to keep it simple. These shots will typically be taken from a closer range and show just the head and shoulders or from the waist up.

Goofy Poses

If you and your partner like to joke around with each other and get a little silly, show that in your engagement photo poses! Pictures of the two of you laughing together may become your sentimental favorites down the road.

Details

Another important item to consider during your engagement photos is capturing the details. Make your hands a central feature in some of the romantic poses to highlight the ring or show just your feet playfully touching.

Engagement Photo Tips

The most important thing when it comes to your engagement photos is that you choose a photographer with whom you feel comfortable. Meet with them beforehand and ask to see samples of previous work to make sure their style is what you envisioned. Tell them what your expectations are and if you have any specific requests.

What to Wear

Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Don’t overthink it or overdo it. Unless one of you has a particularly colorful style, avoid overly busy patterns, as they might distract from your faces.

Location

When choosing a location, consider whether there are various backdrop options. The more photos you can take in one area, the easier the shoot will be. If you plan to change outfits, make sure you choose a location with a bathroom or somewhere private you can go.

You may also want to consider somewhere that has sentimental meaning for the two of you, or plan your proposal while you’re on vacation. This allows you to capture photos of your engagement in a beautiful and memorable setting and is the perfect opportunity to book an engagement photo session with a professional who can help you get the best shots possible. 

Have Fun!

Try to relax as much as possible and leave the details to the professionals. Be affectionate, smile, and just have fun with it.

Get the Perfect Photos

If you’re planning your engagement during your tropical vacation, look to book your photos through an established company where you can see their work prior to your arrival. Plus, online booking ahead of time may help you get a better deal than choosing a company after you’ve arrived.
