27 Different Prop Ideas that are perfect for Couples Photography…

The difference between a good picture and a great picture is in the details.  So don’t forget to add in some fun props for that little something extra.  The best props are typically the ones that help you interact together or that have special meaning to your relationship.  Choose props that really personalize the picture.  So if you enjoy biking together, bring along your bikes!  Or how about a picnic lunch to enjoy together while your photographer captures the connection that is uniquely your own.  (Oh, and if you’re planning an anniversary photo shoot- try incorporating a favorite wedding photograph or the number of years you’ve been married!  Wouldn’t that be a fun tradition to start?)

5 Final Tips to Rock Your Next Photo Shoot

97.  Get Organized-  For a flawless photo shoot, make sure you’re organized and know what you want.  Download our Free Printable Picture Planner and write down your budget, what you plan to wear, and some of your favorite poses, locations, and props.  

98.  Communicate-  Once you know what you want, make sure you communicate it to your photographer.  By showing him/her some of your favorite poses, locations, and props- you can easily get on the same page and are much more likely to capture the style of pictures that you’re after.  

99.  Rely on Your Photographer- After you’ve communicated what you want to your photographer, make sure you ask for and value their opinion as well.  After all, they are the professional.  They will know if there are any problems with your chosen location, or if there are better options available.  

100.  Order Prints-  When it comes time to order your pictures, don’t forget to order some prints!  So many  people just get the CD- and then it ends up lost in a drawer when they could have a gorgeous print on the living room wall instead.  Also, plan ahead and consider how and where you’re going to be displaying your pictures in your home.  It makes ordering so much easier.  It can get pricey, but remember you’re not just buying pictures- you’re preserving memories.  

101.  Just Do It-  You don’t HAVE  to do an elaborate photo shoot.  Keep it simple if you want.  Even if it’s just a quick 10-minutes session that your neighbor took in your backyard, or that you took of yourselves on the couch with a tripod- just do it!  Make sure you’re capturing these memories in your marriage. You’ll be so glad you did!
