If you’re looking for a way to capture your love in a way that feels intimate and personal, a couple session at home is a perfect choice. Not only does it open up the opportunity to be authentic, but it also provides a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere where you and your partner can truly be yourselves. Warm weather and stunning scenery make for a beautiful backdrop, but there’s something special about capturing the love between two people surrounded by things that they love.
The beauty of doing a home photo session is that it can take place anywhere in your house or even in your backyard. Consider the areas that hold sentimental value for you as a couple, such as the cozy couch where you cuddle up for movie and tv nights. If you have a favorite spot in your neighborhood or a nearby park, you can even incorporate that into the session.
Create a warm and inviting atmosphere by adding personal touches that reflect your style and personality. Light some candles or string up fairy lights for a cozy and warm vibe. Incorporate elements of your relationship, such as photos, artwork, or sentimental items, to add a personal touch.
When it comes to clothing, choose something that makes you feel like yourself. You want to be able to move around freely and enjoy your time together without feeling self-conscious. Opt for casual and comfortable clothing that reflects your personal style.
Choosing a photographer who shares your vision and style is essential for capturing the perfect couple photos. Look for someone who specializes in intimate and relaxed sessions and has experience working in different lighting situations. You’ll want someone who can make you feel at ease during your photoshoot.
The most important thing during a couple session at home is to relax and have fun. Play your favorite music in the background to set the scene for some romantic moments. For this couple, they requested music by Fleetwood Mac to play while they danced in the bright sunlit doorway. It completely changed the vibe of the room and allowed them to have their own quiet moment together.
With a meaningful location, a warm and inviting atmosphere, comfortable clothing, the right photographer – aka me, and a relaxed attitude, you’ll have beautiful memories to cherish for years to come.
