Asking from the perspective of both the model and the photographer!
For context, in my community couples don’t touch before marriage. As a result, engagement photos can be…stiff. Either photographers try to make it look like they’re touching by placing the woman a few steps in front of the man, or they just awkwardly hang out next to each other/separated by a flower vase.
My partner and I are about to be engaged. Now, we do touch, but we need photos that we can post publicly for more religious family and friends to see😂 The photographer taking the pics has a lot of really pretty photos (think snapshots from a movie vibe) but from her website I only see couples who touch.
I thought about maybe some props or doing it some place like a bookstore (because we are total nerds haha) although I know my partner envisioned it more like on a beach or something like that.
Any tips for all of us?
Thank you!!
How “risky” may the pictures be as long as they are no touches?
I’m tinking of Disney’s Lady and the Tramp and Spaghetti or some other form of feeding each other
ooo good question, i’ll actually ask my mom what she thinks. we have a holiday coming up very soon where donuts are a very traditional food and i’m already seeing them pop up everywhere so maybe splitting one or finding a heart shaped one to share could be cute 👀
