    Mimic your fave tv/movie character (making Chewbacca sounds or R2-D2 always get a lot of smiles ) or roll play each other's actions. Be the shy one for a change or the spunky loud one.

  21. The Blue Bride says

    Loving these tips, but I think they don't really work with older – and more introvert – couples… any idea??

  22. Donovan Kitchen says

    Really helpful

  23. Sanyam Bajracharya says

  25. Doreen Abalos says

    I love your short videos 🙂

  26. Nickyboy says

    These really helped….my friend asked me earlier to photograph her and her bf soon but I'm still a beginner. Would it be better to use a wider lens or prime lens(50mm equiv)? Or play with both?

  27. Emily Dreeszen says

    I love your videos! Very helpful and simple. I like the duration of them. Thank you for sharing!

  28. Mahfoos S says

    Perfect

  29. Chris Hunt says

  30. TaylorToYou says

    This was by far the most helpful "posing" video for couples ive ever seen! Thank you!

  31. Christian Wagner FILMS says

    Hi, I have one technical question 🙂 By directing couples the movements are fast than before. Like if they dance or walking around. I would like to know, how you focus and which settings you use on your camera (one focus point, do you move it manually, set to AI Servo, One Shot and so on). Or if you know any video which give the best settings or recommendation, I would much appreciate it. I think I found already a good way how to do it, but its always interesting how others work and maybe to learn new, faster and maybe easier ways. Thanks

  32. XEUSA LLC says

    great tips

  33. Jasmine James says

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm shooting my first engagement photos and 1 year wedding anniversary photos soon and needed tips badly. This video helped tremendously, along with other comments on other tips for great poses. I can't wait to incorporate these into my shoots!

  34. Moii Taemin says

    That font thoooo~ what's it called? T__T

  35. Jared Kinley says

    Okay the "Whisper your favorite vegetable" was hilarious! Which I guess is the point haha

  36. Matt Ficarra says

    That was a great video, very helpful. Thank you!

  37. Adam Hanly says

    Don't forget:
    – make sure they're hipsters.
    – find a bloggy location that was crafted by someone else.
    – use the m5 vsco filter, but be sure to repackage it and sell it as your own, make dem billions yo.

    😉 😉

  38. Mark says
