This edition is full of advice to help the lovable couple that gets uncomfortable in front of the camera. You don’t have to prove your love to anyone but your partner, but it’s still nice to be able to capture some moments of that love on camera. It’s probably true that each couple has their own unique love moments that capture the uniqueness of their love, but sometimes you just need some fall backs to ensure that you have enough fun variety in your photo sets.

It sometimes just seems odd to me that images on your wedding day and engagement picture sessions are all about public displays of affection (PDA). Oh PDA… ewwww… or is it? Personally, I feel pretty comfortable with the basics of kissing, hugging, and holding hands. But during our 2 engagement photo sessions, I found myself feeling a tad uptight because we were sometimes asked for some serious PDA. Toughy friends… toughy!

So here we go folks… more tips for modeling your love in front of the camera.

(1) The almost kiss. This is the moment right before the kiss. Sometimes it’s sweeter than the actual kiss itself. So go in for the kiss… then stop and hover. Sense each other being right there… so close, yet so far away. The lingering will likely bring on a slight smile and create this picture, below. I liken this type of photo to the first kiss that happens in the slowest way where couples are kind of teasing one another. So romantic.

(2) Neck kiss. Ok… I think these photos are sensual and sweet, but a lot of times they just don’t look like they need to be captured and seen by my parents. So this image below kind of captures a moment that makes me feel more comfortable with this form of PDA.

(3) Forehead touch. Great minds think alike don’t they? Well… maybe they should touch, too. This can happen in so many different ways and produce so many different types of photos. Look at these… so sweet and romantic.

(5) Hand on the neck. There’s something about that hand on the neck that just makes me melt. And it’s true in a picture as well as in real life. Oh, to be that lady in the picture.

Ladies can pull off the hand-on-the-neck, too! And it looks hot!

(6) The couple that laughs together. Tell your partner a joke… or at least… say something funny, slick, silly, or even just totally naughty!

(7) Head on the Shoulder. I really think that anyone can put their head on another person’s shoulder and look amazing. You can really do it from any direction, too. I mean, here the bride puts her head on her groom’s shoulder from behind… and the expression on her face is simply priceless! Priceless I say… priceless!
