4 Steps to Great Couple Photos

4. Create Space for a Quiet Moment

And when they are done doing the loud, animated, laughing shots, and they have tried a hundred different ideas that you’ve given them on what to do with their hands, they get to exhale.  That’s when the quiet shot is most powerful and rich.

Check out this post from Me Ra Koh with 4 Steps to Great Couple Photos

Charisse, you and Keith were the most fun, beautiful models!  Thank you for letting me play with all different kinds of ideas!  And thank you for getting silly with me!  Your husband is such a GREAT sport!  I can’t wait to see YOUR engagement photo exercise on the SOAR! blog!

    You’re beautiful Charisse. I love that first shot of you laughing so hard. Makes me smile. Ah, who am I kidding? I love all of them. So sweet and the love between you is palpable.

    @Me Ra…these are Beautiful! You captured such tender moments. This really proves the magic of the “Exaggerated” laughter trip. It was really fun & weird at the same time being on the other side of the camera with my family. Thanks for having us! It was so great meeting all the beautiful ladies there. Thank you all for the compliments! You are too kind. It was also great to see our Oakland Workshop cohorts Ajira & Judith with there lovely families as well.
