First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement! Are you planning your engagement session and nervous about how to pose in a way that brings out your fun personalities? Well, these five poses will help bring those authentic laughs out to help you have genuine smiles in your photos.

Prom pose. This is a great starting pose that is classic and flattering for any couple. From this pose we can do a bunch of different prompts to get those authentic laughs out and it also makes for a great cuddle moment.

Whisper in their ear. The prom pose sets you up in a perfect opportunity to whisper in their ear for those genuine laughs. I love telling people to say the most ridiculous things to their significant other to get a big, throw-your-head-back laugh. These are always my favorite photos to also remember what your spouse whispered to you when looking at your photos through the years.  

Twirl. You can easily move out of the prom pose into a fun twirl for more movement in your photos. I love this with a flowy dress that moves as you spin. To add even more fun, I like to end the twirl with a dip, which usually leads to more laughs and giggles.

Piggyback ride. This is probably one of my favorite photo opportunities. It’s so fun to get a little crazy and hop onto their back and also whisper in their ear.

Walking out of the bar. I love a classic walking picture holding each other’s hands looking super cute. We take it up a notch with a “Walking out of the bar” photo where you pretend it is the end of the night and you are holding onto each other pretending to be tipsy as you bump hips as you walk.

These are just a few of my favorite poses that showcase your fun personalities and bring out those great laughs.
