FAQ About Couple Photos
Do we need to be engaged or married to book a couples session?
Not at all. Couples sessions are for anyone who wants to celebrate their relationship, whether you’re newly dating, engaged, married, or simply wanting to document this season of your love.
We’re not comfortable in front of the camera. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Most couples feel this way at first. You’ll be gently guided throughout the session with natural prompts and easy direction, so nothing ever feels forced or awkward. The goal is to create images that feel relaxed, authentic, and true to you. We also have a few tricks up our sleeves to get you relaxed, cracking up and being yourselves in front of the camera. We want to create an experience you will never forget, not just pretty photos.
What should we wear for our couples photoshoot?
You’ll receive styling guidance to help you choose outfits that feel elevated and cohesive while still reflecting your personalities. Thoughtful wardrobe choices help create timeless, elegant images that photograph beautifully. We will deep dive into this during our design consultation.
Where do couples sessions take place?
Couples photoshoots can take place in-studio or at a carefully selected outdoor location. We’ll choose a setting that complements your story and creates the mood you’re drawn to—romantic, modern, or effortlessly natural. We will talk about what locations are a good fit for you during your design consultation. Here is also a list of our favorite NYC locations for couple photos.

The Transformation
Meet Erica
From the moment she arrived, everything shifted. She stepped into a space thoughtfully designed just for her to feel special. Our hair and makeup artists enhanced her natural beauty, while our stylist provided a pampering, professional experience from start to finish.
During the shoot, we gently guided Erica and her fiance to comfortable in front of the camera, so they could relax, connect, and truly enjoy the experience together. We captures photos in studio and where they went on their first date- a bar in West Village.
She left with more than photographs. She left with heirloom album that doubles as a guest signing book for the wedding guests.
