Although you are skeptical of romantic couples photo shoots, you can still add some lovely images to your archive. In that case, it’s time to schedule a day or weekend that you would spend with your partner having fun and having a creative couple photo shoot.

There are so many non-cheesy themes that you can try to get a range of unforgettable and memorable images, from artistic photography in costumes to minimalist black and white studio story. To help you with more ideas, Depositphotos, a library of over 145 million authentic visuals, shares 10 creative themes you can try in some photo shoots.

Looking for a really unconventional idea for a couple photo shoot? Fine art photography is exactly what you should try. This genre implies providing creative freedom to a photographer at all stages, from choosing a subject to experimenting in post-production. Fine art photography can also involve using props for artistic purposes, with the aim of adding a creative touch to the final photos.

Of course, your ideas are also welcome. Maybe you’ve always wanted to reinvent the legendary “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” or try renaissance costumes. With artistic photography, you can try out the most daring ideas.

If you think back to times when you felt particularly happy, you’ll remember breakfast in bed, afternoon tea on the terrace or cozy movie night with your love. Why not capture those moments of joy during a photo shoot? In addition to including authentic images in your archive, this activity can be a lot of fun.

Romantic couples on a terrace are not a totally new idea, but they can be made unique by the lighting. Plan a shoot during the golden hour, the first light hour after sunrise, and the last hour before sunset. At this time, the lighting appears softer and changes by the minute. Each image taken by a photographer will be unique. Plus, your photos will be filled with ambiance and romantic charm.

A black and white story is a great couple photo shoot idea for those who want their photos to be timeless. However, this shoot should be done in a studio where the photographer will not need natural lighting, and can manipulate it manually to get a creative black and white photo.

If you’re planning a weekend getaway to the coast or the mountains soon, finding a photographer there would be a wonderful idea. As you explore new places, have fun, and try delicious food, you can have a series of photos that will remind you of the good times you had during your weekend getaway.

If you’re a fan of authentic imagery and don’t appreciate a lot of post-production, do a series of close-ups. This idea is basically about capturing details that are infused with love and tenderness during a photo shoot. Holding hands, hugging or smiling up close — there’s a whole variety of concepts to try.

If it’s snowing at your travel destination right now, there are some ideas for photos, even in cold weather. Take a little trip to the forest with a photographer. Pack some props like Christmas trees, snacks, and a thermos of hot tea. Decorate a truck and spend a few hours having a picnic. Don’t forget to check the weather forecast. A sunny, frosty day is ideal for this photo shoot idea.

For the more romantic couples, there is a photo shoot idea with the element of surprise. If you’re looking for the perfect moment for a proposal, there’s nothing more romantic than declaring your love during a photo shoot in a picturesque location. Let a photographer capture the most sincere and spontaneous emotions and take some special photos for the memory of a lifetime.

You don’t like to pose and are often uncomfortable in front of the camera, but still want to get a series of romantic photos for your archive? Ask a photographer to take lifestyle shots while you are busy with your routine. You can rush to work in the morning, have lunch at a cafe, or go for a walk in the evening. In short, you will simply be “caught” by a photographer in your natural environment.

What are your favorite images in your archive? Perhaps the ones where you are smiling and experiencing positive emotions. This time, you can enrich your collection with a new series by going to an amusement park and having fun. Ride a roller coaster, buy cotton candy and play while lining up for the next ride. Make the most of the outdoor activities and let the photographer take some fascinating photos.

With these ideas, you can spend a day with your love and capture some unique memories for the rest of your lives.
