Engagement Photo Poses

I always do this one myself first, meaning I get on the floor and look pretty. It really helps free up the couple’s inhibitions if you’re prepared to do the same, and of course they can see exactly what you’re after. I ask the girl to lift and cross her feet which adds some depth to the shoot, and makes it a bit more of a fun shot. The girl looks great with one or both hands up to the side of her face, the guy with an arm across her back.‘Squeeze up tight, even tighter, don’t let her get away, look at each other/stare in to her beautiful blue eyes/tell him how lucky he is to be marrying you.’ And you’ve got the shot.5% of the engagement shots I take, I’m using my Canon EF 70-200mm L2.8 lens. Creates beautiful shallow depth of field, along with the fairly large aperture, throwing the background out of focus. Perfect for the splashes of color from the flowers, and to home right in on the couple’s expressions.I also play safe and set the ISO to 400. Often I could get away with a lower setting without any risk of camera shake, but the picture quality is still great at 400.
