"4 secrets of the perfect photoshoot"

To create a truly memorable and atmospheric shot, you don't always need to use the services of an expensive photo studio or a famous photographer. Studio lighting and expensive equipment are, of course, great. But you can do a photo shoot with your husband using your smartphone or camera. You just need to choose the right location, suitable time, do a little posing, and edit the source material correctly. We will reveal the details below.

"Secret 1 - location"

The location makes your joint photos unique. It can be a special place that evokes warm memories.

Your favorite place. If there is a cozy coffee shop nearby where you get a cappuccino every morning, or your favorite restaurant for special occasions, why not visit that place? Check with the administration if it's allowed to take photos inside. Photos taken in such special places dear to your heart will stay in your memory for years to come.




"Unusual place. Look up a list of Top 10 beautiful places in Ukraine or any other country you are planning to visit on vacation. Find a photographer in that region or take some beautiful shots yourself. Keep in mind that so-called "Instagrammable" locations usually attract many people wanting to take beautiful photos, so choose the right time."

The place where your first date took place. Return to the place where you first met, first kissed, or confessed your feelings to each other. The more time has passed since that moment, the more interesting it is to compare the results in photos.

Secret 2 - time

Golden hour. The time before sunset or at dawn (if you are an early riser) is perfect for capturing a shot with excellent lighting. The sun rays will create an intimate atmosphere in your photos.






Night time. Arrange an unusual photo shoot right under the starry sky or beautiful lights. Head to a holiday, festival, ferris wheel, or other well-lit location to capture truly vibrant night photos.





"Unexpected weather. If you were planning a photo shoot on a sunny day, but suddenly a heavy rain started, it doesn't mean that your photo shoot is ruined. Weather can be used to your advantage. Check the forecast in advance and prepare a colorful umbrella. If it starts snowing, head to the nearest snow-covered forest or park."

"Secret 3 - posing"

Even if you and your significant other are not models, there are several ways to get natural, candid photos and ease the tension. Look for examples of couples posing together online.

Show your feelings. Hold hands, kiss your spouse. Demonstrating emotions always makes a photo look lovely. If you feel some tension, imagine the photographer is not watching and embrace your partner as you normally do in private.





Add a prop. Usually in photos, people don't know what to do with their hands. Include a prop, such as a favorite book (if you both enjoy reading) or another object associated with your shared hobby. You can also use trendy items, such as smoke bombs for a unique touch of color.




"Keep moving. Photos in motion usually look more natural. Act relaxed in the location you have chosen. You can attend a pottery masterclass, order a cheese and wine tasting, or learn how to draw together."

"Secret 4 - colors"

Black and white frame. Photos taken in this color scheme are timeless. It is not necessary to make the images too contrasted and dark. Modern post-processing technologies offer a variety of options.






Bright colors. Today, a variety of shades and filters are in fashion. Choose your unique palette that will surpass any Instagram filter. Look for inspiring examples online to find a shade that will please both of you.





Take care of your wardrobe. It's not necessary to dress the same, but your outfits should harmonize. Choose pastel, neutral, and cool tones. Avoid overly large and aggressive prints that distract attention.

"10 ideas for a photoshoot with your husband"

So, you already know what to pay attention to when planning a photoshoot. Let's get into specifics. Here are 20 ideas for couple photoshoots:

1. Night date. Go somewhere with picturesque views, for example to a local festival or amusement park, when the sun sets.
2. "Selfie of the lovers. Set a timer on the camera and capture whatever comes to mind."
3. A photo without faces. Holding hands, standing close to each other, and other similar poses in couple photos can show what the man and woman truly feel, even more than their faces.
4. Warm embraces. Couples feel less tense in front of the camera when they need to hug each other.
5. "From heart to heart. A photo with a hot air balloon during a kiss will make the image romantic or a little playful."
6. With pillows. Have a fun pillow fight right from the morning.
7. "Dancing. Movement will help you relax and give you dynamic shots."
8. "Romantic dinner. Arrange a photo shoot in a gastro-bar, at a tasting, or in your own kitchen."
9. Retro-romance. Recreate an unforgettable and fun photo shoot style using an old camera, suitcase, and vintage clothing. You can also add filters and effects during the image post-processing stage.
10. Common hobby. If both of you enjoy cooking, set up a romantic scene in the kitchen. Take some photos of you doing something together.

Cool photos deserve an unusual frame. Print your cool photos in a Polaroid style. Fans of instant photography from the 90s may experience familiar feelings when holding a Polaroid-style photo in their hands. Those unfamiliar with traditional Polaroids will appreciate the square images with space for captions.

"Take photos"
"In the style of Polaroid"

Although you undoubtedly want to get great photos, don't take the photo shoot with your husband too seriously. Not all men enjoy posing for a long time, changing outfits, and following the photographer's instructions. Let the process itself be enjoyable as well. Plan an activity that you both enjoy, such as a boat ride, a hike, or a day by the pool. Then, get into the moment and experience it all together with the photographer on the trip.
