Consider all the times you and your significant other have been in pictures together. Consider how many of those pictures could actually be used for a grid post.
The worn-out arm-around-the-waist gesture, the overused hand on-the-chest gesture, and the traditional prom position are all overdone. It’s time to diversify your repertoire of standard postures if you and your partner tend to adopt the same ones in all of your photographs.
Luckily, social media platforms are also the best sources of advice on how to perfect poses, because there are always plenty of netizen couples to go around. Tips on how to pose with your partner are definitely useful, whether you’re documenting your bae-cation, creating memories at a wedding, or posing for a date night photo opportunity. So, it’s time to ditch the hands-on-hip pose for some fresh and cute couple pose ideas.
Shoulder squeeze
@ashleyhuftphoto COUPLES PHOTO | when you hand your phone to a stranger to take your photo, try out this pose! Its super easy to jump into & requires minimal effort on both parts! Have the partner who puts their arm around you kiss your head or kiss you or you can just look at the camera and smile (also don’t forget that hand in pocket and thumb out)! Try this out and let me know what you think!! #posingtips #posingideas #newpose #posingtipsandtricks #poseathome #easyposes #easyposesforinstagram #couplesposes #couplesposes #couplesoftiktok #couplesphotography #couplesphotoshoot #couplesphotos #updatedphotos #updatedphoto #posing101 #posingforcouples #easycouplespose #funcouplespose #couplesposeideas #couplesposing #engagment #engagmentphotoshoot #engagementphotographer #weddingtiktok #weddingphotographer #cuteposes #funphotoideas
Since photographer Ashley Huft offered this advice, you can be confident in its validity. Huft advises grasping your partner’s hand and interlocking your fingers for an even cosier photo rather than succumbing to the standard arm-around-the-shoulder stance. We believe it came out extremely well, and it’s quite easy to replicate. In addition to the traditional prom posture of wrapping your arms around each other, you may also just go there.
PDA-free pose
@victoriahui We love a good kissing photo, but sometimes we don’t—so here are 3 super easy non-PDA #coupleposes you can try! ❤️✨ #howtopose #posingtipsandtricks #posingtipshowtopose #coupleposeideas #coupleposesideas #coupleposing #coupleposespictures
@dinarohiraphoto What’s your favorite pose? #indiangirl #pakistani #posing #photomagic #photography101 #tiktokphotographer
If you and your boo would like to keep your photos PDA-free, @victoriahui has some advice. To begin with, you two can turn away from the camera while encircling each other’s backs or by placing one arm around the other’s chest. She also recommends a two-arm wrap-around embrace from behind if you don’t mind getting a little touchy-feely.
The 7 seconds
@jbjpictures What posing video should we make next? #posing #coupleposes #coupleposeideas #poseideas #posingtips #couplegoals #howtopose
You can rely on this seven-second technique to consistently provide you with the ideal relationship shots. To get the shot, one partner will stay stationary and place their arm around the other’s waist, while the other partner will move the other limbs and place one arm around their partner’s shoulder. You’ll be able to take four excellent pictures in just seven seconds by doing this.
The toast
Bottoms up! Looking for a humorous couple’s pose to highlight your personalities? Give your photographer genuine unscripted moments to work with instead of staged ones. Raise a toast to one another while grabbing some glasses. It will produce the ideal photo opportunity that looks cheeky and organic. Best part is, you can do this anytime and not necessarily during wedding season.
Pool splash
Remember when pool hair flip pics were all the rage back then? Think of it as the mature version. Start splashing around the next time you and your lover are standing in water, whether it’s at the beach or in a pool. Who knew that taking photos could be so enjoyable?
Romantic hand hold
@ecaxyshop #foryou #fyp #foryoupage #explore #explorepage #trending #viraltiktok #holdinghands #cuteposesideas #cutecouplegoals #lovers #ideasposes
Hand-holding comes in two flavours: passionate hand-holding and regular hand-holding. This couple’s forehead-to-head contact and rising hands with intertwined fingers is beautiful. Although it might appear straightforward, it’s a fun twist on the standard couple stance and isn’t difficult to pull off.
Hug from behind
This is TOTES adorable!
A favourite couple position is the “hug from behind” one. It’s obvious, so don’t just take our word for it. Wrap up your S.O. from behind as someone pulls out their phone to start taking pictures. It will undoubtedly replace your previous favourite image of the two of you.
The sweet tooth

Bringing some food in for a couple of shots won’t do any harm. We are smitten by pictures of adorable couples enjoying dessert together. Is there anything more delectable?
Sun flare
@abeckcaptures Ugh we love a good sun flare 😩😍 #weddingphotography #weddingphotographer #weddingphotos #weddingideas #weddingvibes #sunflare
A pretty cool effect for your photo sesh and all you need is the sun! Ask the photographer to capture a sun flare when you and your lover cuddle up close to one another. A classic couple stance can easily be elevated with this super-cool effect.
Piggy back
@lahzehphotography Start with a basic piggy back pose and then go into this fun prompt 🤪🤪 #engagementphotoshoot #lahzehphotography #posingtips #engaged
You can always take a piggyback ride, no matter your age. Get on your partner’s back and pose for a comical couple picture when you’re in the mood for it. We know for sure that you two will burst into laughter trying to pull off this old-time stunt.
