I love some good photos and specially the ones I have my husband looking at me lovingly and I hate posing or starring at the camera, I feel the romance just disappears when asked to repeat what we were doing. To make things worst my husband hates, hates absolutely hates cheesy poses or even the word 'photoshoot' So if you are anything like me, here are few things to save you and help you plan a shoot which you and your reluctant partner would love it too..
Plan your session according to what you LOVE not what's trending
Keep it Short : Keep it as short and sweet as possible, 45 minutes maximum. Do not go for long sessions.
Plan your activities : If you love trekking together, go for it. If you love having cozy coffee in bed, you do that. You do YOU and not what is trending. The aim is to have all beautiful real things and bottling them up carefully.
Plan Location : If you love outdoor, do that but if you both have different opinion divide the session half and half.
Choose the right photographer
Well you can not choose 'conventional photographer' and except to have 'non posy' shoot.
Search for photographers who do unconventional Photoshoot for couples, But at the same time be very very clear with what you are looking for.
Unposed
Real
No fancy clothing
No looking at the camera
Ensure you say this out loud and clear for them to connect with you better.
