What you get.

Say you and your sweetheart are headed for the City of Love and want professional vacation memories. Then you’re in for a treat with our friendly Kiss Me in Paris portrait photographers. Whatever the special occasion—anniversary, honeymoon, engagement, pre-wedding, or just-for-fun couple photoshoot in Paris—we know all the good places. Importantly, our English-speaking photographers are true local experts with virtually unlimited creative couple photography ideas. As such, you should expect a host of unique benefits:

#1 unrivaled experience & local know-how

There’s a misconception that any portrait photographer will expertly document your couple photoshoot in Paris. Alas, that’s not the case. You see, your photographer will significantly impact your photos and experience, and by extension, how you remember your trip to Europe. Paris is busy and unpredictable, so your artist must be able to zig when others zag. And unless you have previous experience in photography poses for couples, your photographer should be patient with clear posing directions.

At Kiss Me in Paris, our artists are entertaining and true local experts with endless Paris photoshoot ideas. They can help you figure out what to wear for your Paris photoshoot, or (rumor has it) even where to find the yummiest hot chocolate in town.

#2 paris couple package to suit your needs

Perhaps you’re merely looking for a quick Eiffel Tower photoshoot with a few fantastic snaps in front of the Iron Lady? Then, it should be reassuring to know that we offer a 30-minute Trocadéro mini-session at a price anyone can afford. Or maybe you want to treat your sweetheart to an authentic Emily in Paris or Midnight in Paris photoshoot she’ll never forget? You’ll get maximum location variety, a stress-free experience, multiple Paris photoshoot outfits, the best times of the day to have your photos taken… Our couple packages make it a breeze to get precisely the photography coverage you desire.

#3 100% money-back guarantee

Our promise is simple: if you’re not satisfied, we are not satisfied. Kiss Me in Paris is the only Paris photographer to offer a money-back guarantee if you don’t love your experience and couple pictures.

What should you wear for your couple photoshoot in Paris?

There are no hard rules when it comes to attire choices for your couple’s pictures. It depends a little on your style, the occasion of your photo session, and the Parisian locations you pick. You can go with casual, formal, and, time permitting, a combination of both.

Now, you will be photographed in the fashion capital of the world … so style matters (hey ladies … this is your excuse to get that pair of red bottoms!).

That said, here are a few recommendations:

  • dress for how you’d like to be seen in your photos;
  • wear something that makes you feel comfortable, confident and lifts your mood;

  • there’s no need for outfits to match (you don’t want to look like siblings, ha!), but choose styles, fabrics, and colors that look harmonious together; 
  • Avoid fine stripes, which can cause distracting moiré patterns in your images. Instead, when you want to make a statement, embrace bold prints and colors (red, purple, and yellow pop magnificently);
Tip

  • If you just can’t decide, go a tad more elegant than you’d normally. A formal black suit for the gentleman is timeless and always looks sophisticated. Likewise, ladies, you can’t go wrong with clean, organic pastels, which work particularly well at sunrise and when we photograph against the light;
  • speaking of light … for perfect silhouettes, go with dark, tightly-fitted attire (avoid white);

  • bring a pair of flats or other comfy shoes to protect your feet when moving from one location to the next (be gentle on your feet—Louboutin are not designed for hiking);
  • arrive in layers on cold days and even consider bringing hand warmers;
Tip
Ladies, for spring/summer shoots, consider airy, flowy dresses. Optionally add a delicate bouquet of flowers and a stylish hat.
  • optionally, pack a hairbrush;
  • depending on the weather report, you may want to include a stylish umbrella;

How to Nail Your Couple Photography Poses (including five examples).

Suppose you have no previous posing experience and want to shed those posing jitters. Or, maybe you’d like to learn your angles and how to confidently achieve portraits that feel natural.

Well, then you’re in the perfect place. Most of us are not models, so our biggest trump as couples is chemistry with deep, passionate feelings. Beautiful couple photoshoot poses ultimately boil down to believable connection, playfulness, intimacy, and the ability to tune out unwanted camera awareness.

Tip
Think of each other rather than about the process of being photographed. The latter tends to result in undesirable self-awareness, holding your breath, open-eye or closed-lip kisses, and stiff poses.

Our Kiss Me in Paris photographers will position you in the most flattering light and provide clear instructions.

With that said, it’s an excellent idea to already work on your couple photoshoot poses before you arrive in Paris.

Here are some power tips:

  • breathe abundantly on each other and touch foreheads and/or noses for mouthwatering chemistry;
  • be deliberate about the placement of your hands—be it on your partner’s face, neck, hips, heart, in your pant pockets, or holding the lapel of your suit jacket (just don’t let your hands dangle);
  • try a tender hug from behind;
  • do a fabulous dip;
  • how about an epic lift?
  • for picture-perfect silhouettes, maintain harmonious interspacing between the contours of your bodies, wear dark and tightly fitted attire, and pull your hair back in a bun;
  • never kiss away from your photographer—either kiss in a neutral posture or lean toward the lens;
  • The moment before the kiss (lips touch) leaves things up to the viewer’s imagination, which is why this technique is so prevalent in movies and advertisements.

My husband and I had never done a couple photoshoot and didn’t really know what to expect. We absolutely loved our experience with Kiss Me in Paris. They are so awesome and made us feel confident from the moment we met at Café Carette. Their photos are simply the best!!!
