Why you should book a couples photo session just for fun
When most people think of a couples session, they think of engagement or anniversary photos. However, you can and should book a couples photo session at any stage of your relationship. Whether you have had a photo shoot together in the past, or the best photo you have together is a selfie, it is always a good time to book a couples photo shoot. Not sure if a couples shoot is right for you? Keep reading to see why you should book one?
V & E reached out to have photos taken of them at my favorite beach location in Long Beach, NY. Although I photograph many couples, what I loved most about this shoot though was that this gorgeous couple didn’t have a particular reason to book a photo shoot. In fact, they just wanted photos that capture their love for one another. My client told me at booking that the only good photos she had of her and her boyfriend together were selfies and she wanted professional images to capture their bond. I love the idea of scheduling a professional photo shoot to celebrate love, to have some fun, and to get some beautiful new photos that they can put up on the wall.
Of course, I think anytime is a good time to book a photo shoot with your love, but here are some of the reasons why you should book a couples shoot just for fun.
What Is a Couple’s Shoot?
Although it may seem obvious, a couple’s shoot is any type of photo shoot that you have as a couple! It could be a Pre-Wedding Shoot, it could be an engagement shoot, it could be an anniversary shoot, or – like in V & E’s case – it could simply be a photo shoot for the two of you just because!
A New Idea for Date Night
When you’ve been together for a while, it can be hard to think of new ideas for date night. Booking a session with a Long Island Couples Photographer is a great way to break up your regular ‘dinner and a movie’ routine. You still get to get dressed up and spend quality time together, but it’s something different than the norm. Plus, you’ll spend the whole time completely focused on each other – a little luxury in modern times.
Get Away from the Kids For an Evening an Reconnect
For all of you married couples out there, when was the last time you had your photos taken together as a couple? I am not talking about the quick snap during your family photo session that your kids photo bomb, but a session that is focused solely on you as a couple. You deserve time to unwind and relax with your loved one. Bring a bottle of bubbly and let’s capture some gorgeous photos of you at sunset. I promise it will not only be fun, but it will also be a romantic bonding experience as well.
Disconnect from Life’s Distractions
As you know, our daily lives are filled with so many distractions. It is difficult sometimes to find the time to focus on each other. Remember the days when you first started dating? A couples photo shoot is a great way to get back to that feeling.
During your Long Island Couples Session, I ask that phones be put away so that you don’t have to worry about answering calls and you can focus solely on each other. Your to do list can wait for an hour while you cuddle up with your loved one in a pretty setting. I promise I will make you both feel at ease and comfortable during the session. By the end of it you’ll barely notice I’m there. I always aim to create an amazing experience for you, and that means making sure you feel comfortable and are having a whole lot of fun! After a decade of taking photos for couples, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve to make your couples photo shoot feel natural, fun and true to you.
It is a Chance to Explore Someplace New
Long Island is home to gorgeous natural locations that range from beaches, to hiking trails and preserves, vineyards, farms, gardens and more. It is fun to explore new areas and a photo session is often times a motivating external force to get you to visit some place new. If you are unsure where to schedule your session, I can suggest a location that suits your needs as a couple.
