Photos Every Couple Should Have (But Most Forget to Take)

Couples often imagine photos as smiling portraits, but the images that mean the most over time are often quieter, subtler, and less expected. These are the five photos couples come back to again and again — even if they didn’t realize they wanted them at first.

1. The Quiet, Unposed Moment

A soft glance, a shared breath, a moment of stillness. These images capture intimacy without performance. They tell the story of comfort — the kind that only exists when two people truly know each other.

2. The Laugh That Wasn’t Planned

Laughter that erupts naturally is impossible to fake — and impossible to forget. These moments reflect joy in its purest form and often become favourites because they feel honest and alive.

3. A Wide Shot That Shows You in the World

Stepping back to capture the environment reminds you where this chapter of your story took place. It grounds your love in a moment in time — a city, a street, a landscape that becomes part of your memory.

4. The In-Between Touch

Hands brushing, arms wrapped, fingers intertwined. These subtle gestures speak volumes. They show connection without needing a smile or a pose — just closeness.

5. One Powerful Portrait of Just the Two of You

Not overly posed, not stiff — just present. This image becomes timeless because it shows who you were together in this season of life.

If you want photos that feel like memories instead of moments on a timeline, I’d love to photograph your story.
