I’m a true romantic at heart, and It fills me with so much joy to know that I get to work with so many amazing couples like you.
There’s something so intimate about those quiet, in-between moments, the way laughter lingers, the way hands find each other without thinking. When it comes to Engagement Photo Poses, it’s less about perfect symmetry and more about capturing the small truths of your love, the way you look at each other, the way your energy feels when you’re together. The goal isn’t to perform for the camera, but to simply be. To let yourself settle into the moment and remember what it feels like to be known so deeply by someone you love. When you look back at your engagement photos, you won’t remember the prompts, you’ll remember the way you felt, how your heart slowed down just enough to take it all in!


These are the moments that feel like whispers, slow, unhurried, and full of quiet affection. Think foreheads pressed together, hands brushing along arms, soft kisses between laughter. Try wrapping each other in a hug and just stay there for a while. Close your eyes. Breathe the same air. Let the silence say what words can’t. These Engagement Photo Poses tell the story of comfort, that kind of love that doesn’t need to be loud to be felt. Sometimes, the sweetest photos come right after a kiss, when your faces are still close and you can’t help but smile. It’s those lingering seconds, those soft exhales, that carry the tenderness you’ll want to remember.










Not every photo needs stillness. Some of the most heartfelt moments happen when you’re simply having fun, spinning, running, bumping shoulders down a sun-lit path. Try an “airplane arms” moment, a piggyback ride, or a silly little race toward the camera. Lifts and spins, playful nose kisses, running into each other’s arms, these Engagement Photo Poses are about movement, laughter, and the joy that comes from not taking things too seriously! You’ll find that when you’re laughing together, your connection shines brighter than any pose could. That’s where the real magic is, in the blur of motion, in the messy hair, in the way your smile reaches your eyes because it’s all so beautifully unscripted!










The best photos happen when you stop thinking about what to do and just focus on each other. Forget the lens. Listen to your person’s voice. Let the photographer guide, but let your reactions be real, the giggles, the glances, the half-whispered “I love you.” These are the pieces of your story that will always feel true, even years from now. If nerves start to sneak in, ground yourself by touching hands or whispering something only the two of you can hear. Every session flows differently, but the most authentic ones are the ones where you let yourselves feel. Presence always photographs beautifully.





Props can make your session feel even more personal. Bring something that feels like you, maybe the coffee mugs you always share in the mornings, a picnic blanket, your dog, a bouquet from your favorite local market. These little details tell your story in ways words can’t. They turn Engagement Photo Poses into something more than photos, they become memories, textured and alive. Maybe it’s the record player that soundtracked your first date or a cozy jacket you both always fight over. Whatever feels true to your love story deserves to be part of it. The more you bring pieces of your real life, the more your gallery will feel like home!







There’s no right way to show love in front of a camera. Whether you’re tender and quiet or full of laughter and movement, what matters most is that it feels like you. The best engagement sessions are the ones where you forget you’re being photographed at all, where all that’s left is the connection between you and the one you chose. Don’t overthink it! Don’t worry about what to do with your hands. Just hold onto each other, move how you naturally do, and trust that your love, as it already is, is more than enough. Every couple has their own rhythm; your only job is to fall into it!

If you’re dreaming of a session that feels honest, warm, and deeply personal, I’d love to create that space for you. Let’s chase the light, laugh through the awkward moments, and capture photos that feel like they were taken in the middle of your real life, because that’s where the magic always lives. Every love story deserves to be seen just as it is, beautifully, imperfectly, and entirely yours! Head to my contact page so we can chat about the ideas you have!
