Default Couples Interaction: Session Share

I have noticed a few people talking about interaction between couples in portrait shots recently, which reminded me to share a few fun ones from a recent engagement/couple shoot for you, I think the interaction in them is great. It's always so important (and often SO difficult) when doing couples shoots. Luckily I'm related to this couple, so it's a little easier to have fun with it. There are a lot more traditional, looking-at-the-camera-smiling kind of portraits in the bunch, but I thought it would be nice to tie in a recent topic on the board, so I picked these.

I really like the last one - the couple really seem to enjoy each other - its great when you take a picture with love and your subjects are trusting you.

Those are wonderful and they truly show a loving couple. That last one is my favorite.

I think the last one is the best. Great interaction between the happy couple. The emotion they have between each other really shows through.
