When you have the right person by your side, nothing else really matters, does it? Kisses, hugs, and that wonderfully infectious way of smiling: all the love you share is captured in your couple photos.

We at Album di Figurine know this well. Every day, hundreds of couples use our app to create a personalized album, print their memories, or give an original and surprising gift. And between selfies taken at sunset and snapshots from around the world, we have learned one thing: couple photos deserve special care. They are some of your most precious memories, and to make the most of them, let’s look at a few easy tips you can put into practice.

Choose a breathtaking setting

It may sound obvious, but many people forget that the surrounding setting is incredibly important. It is not just about the background: a beautiful view can completely transform the atmosphere of couple photos.

This advice is even more valuable if you are planning a photo shoot or a session to announce that you are getting married. And speaking of that, just imagine your guests’ faces if they received a photo of the two of you… as a sticker!

Remember the rules for taking beautiful couple photos

Focusing only on the emotional side? Not at all! Even if you are taking these photos just for yourself and not to share them, we are sure you will still want to end up with a well-crafted image in your hands — and in your camera roll. To avoid blur and manage light like a professional, the first step is to learn the basic rules of photographic composition. Whether you use a professional camera or not does not really matter: by learning the fundamentals, you can take stunning couple photos even with a smartphone.

Choose alternative poses over classic ones

Any professional photographer would probably suggest focusing your efforts on creating a classic couple pose for your photos: a hug at sunset, a backlit kiss, holding hands while walking by the sea. Let’s be honest: these are all great ways to highlight the emotional power of a photograph — but is that always enough?

We believe in the power of smiles, in happiness that blossoms unexpectedly, in photos taken while you are both jumping, making funny faces, taking playful selfies, and striking fun poses that show who you really are.

Couple photos should tell your story, not someone else’s. Keep that in mind.

Always aim for spontaneity

The soul of a photograph shows when it feels spontaneous. That is true both when, with your camera around your neck, you are getting ready to take a few beautiful photos with your other half, and when you decide to print the best ones.

When it comes to editing — that is, improving the original photo by adjusting the brightness or making other changes — do not overdo the filters and always go for a natural effect. The same applies to poses and composition, to avoid a déjà-vu effect and looking predictable. Above all, it matters if you want to preserve your memories with a touch of originality. Of course, you could print them in any shop, but would it really be the same as creating a story of your own in sticker form?

If you would rather create something truly unique with your couple photos, we at Album di Figurine know exactly how to do it. Discover our love-themed album: you will fall in love with it (just like you did with him or her)!
