So let me start by saying, I don’t pose. And while I don’t pose my clients, I do give direction. Direction is key for creating seamless imagery and sets the tone for your session. To me, our sessions are all about creating and highlighting these magical moments in your journey. Engagement sessions are about intimacy, romance, and happiness. It’s about falling in love all over again.

For location, beach engagement sessions are some of our favorites—there’s something about the soft light, salty breeze, and the sound of waves that creates a beautiful backdrop. If you’re dreaming of natural, heartfelt, and elegant beach photos that don’t feel overly posed or stiff, these simple tips will help you feel relaxed and connected in front of the camera.

Location: Vero Beach, Florida

1. Movement is Magic

One of the best ways to create natural photos is to keep moving. Walk hand-in-hand along the shoreline, run your fingers through each other’s hair, or slow dance in the sand. Movement not only feels less awkward, but it also helps create those beautiful candid moments that tell your story.

2. Stay Close and Connect

Your connection is what makes your photos special. Rest your foreheads together, whisper something sweet (or silly), or wrap your arms around each other. Don’t worry about looking at the camera—focus on each other and how you’re feeling.

3. Use the Environment

Lean into the setting! Barefoot in the sand, dipping your toes in the water, or cozying up on a driftwood log adds beautiful texture and story to your images. We love incorporating nature’s elements for an editorial-meets-documentary feel.

4. Let Go of Perfection

The wind might blow your hair, or your dress might get a little sandy—and that’s the magic. These imperfect, in-between moments often turn into the most emotional and timeless photographs.

5. Trust Your Photographer

We’ll guide you throughout the session with gentle direction and prompts, but the most natural photos come when you relax and simply enjoy the moment. Trust the process—we’ve got you.

Whether you’re planning a destination engagement session or a local beach shoot here in Florida, these posing tips can help you feel confident, connected, and completely yourselves.
