Nature in autumn is gorgeous thanks to all kinds of colors - yellow, red, burgundy, brown, green and orange, so Love Story's autumn photo shoot will be incredibly bright and beautiful.
But it’s worth remembering the disadvantages that can ruin your beautiful outdoor photos: early autumn means cold rain, and later the first snow is possible. You need to think through your outfits in advance so as not to freeze and get wet, as well as some closed places for photography.
Photo studio
Yes, indeed, staged shots in ideal and absolutely lifeless interiors have long gone out of trend. But photo studios are not limited to tired Christmas trees, fireplaces and strange-looking chairs 
However, be prepared that posing in a photo studio will require some originality, observation and dexterity from you. Taking pictures, for example, in a forest or a cafe is much easier - there you are surrounded by objects with which you can interact. A clear background is more difficult to work with.
But don’t worry: find inspiration in Pinterest and magazine shoots, find interesting references and don’t be shy to ask the photographer for help. Then you will definitely get a great result!
Don't forget: you can find the best wedding photographers

City
A little urban romance? Take a walk with your photographer along your favorite streets, look into quiet courtyards - there is absolutely no need to turn your wedding photo shoot into a tour of the most common places in your hometown, such as the central park or memorial.
Features of a photo shoot for a couple in love
The secrets of photographing love stories are considered to be unusual, eye-catching poses for a photo shoot together, appropriate clothing, mood and interesting surroundings. You should take photographs with the proper amount of preparation - for this you need to carefully think through the shooting scenario, find out favorable angles, and choose a special style you like. Then the effect will certainly please your partners.
Clothes and makeup
To conduct a photo shoot in the studio, you will need several sets of clothes to get different shots. You can bring regular clothes in a festive style, but it is better to stylize the photos - take them in a retro style, vintage, rock or any other. A man will suit formal suits or a relaxed casual style in which he will feel comfortable.
Makeup is important for a girl - it’s worth wearing more makeup, because the camera “eats” some of the colors, making the face paler. Particular attention should be paid to facial makeup - it must be carefully evened out, ensuring that the color matches the skin of the neck. It is better to make your hairstyle simple, but at the same time beautiful - soft curls and straightened strands look great.
Entourage for photos
Not a single love story shoot would be complete without cute accessories. It is worth using the attributes of wedding romance - hearts, flowers, candles. Bright eye-catching accessories – baskets, fruits, antiques – look impressive. You should come up with a selection of attributes taking into account the direction of photography - you can surround yourself with gifts in beautiful packaging, balloons, musical instruments, inscriptions, invitations.
What are the most beautiful poses?
The poses for a love story photo shoot, in which the guy and girl will feel comfortable, deserve special attention. The most beautiful options for romantic themes are:
- face to face;
- the girl puts her head on the man's shoulder;
- hugs from behind;
- beloved in the arms of a strong partner;
- lying on your back (in leaves, on a shag carpet, etc.).
Cafe
After walking around the autumn city to your heart’s content, run to warm up in a cozy cafe. Hot coffee, blankets and one croissant for two – that’s all you need for romantic autumn photos with your groom. Ideally, you need to sit near a panoramic window so that the photographer can take pictures of you from outside
Some tips
- choose warmer clothes, especially in the last month of autumn. Sweaters, scarves and hats of the same colors, knitted dresses or tunics for girls and suits made of warm fabric for men look very harmonious on a couple;
- Choose outfit colors that are similar to nature itself: red, yellow, orange, chocolate, brown, burgundy, mustard, gold and green. You will look great in them;
- various accessories appropriate for this time of year are suitable - multi-colored umbrellas and rubber boots will come in handy at the beginning of autumn, and blankets and shawls will keep you warm at the end of the season in question;
- use foliage while walking in nature, it will undoubtedly add more bright colors and variety to your shots.
In transport
Love is always beautiful: both in luxurious interiors and in tired trams. If you're looking for an unusual aesthetic for your love story, consider public transportation. In such a situation, the photographer needs to pick out the details: how you melancholy look out the window, touch your little fingers while holding the handrail, how the groom gently holds you by the waist when the carriage suddenly brakes.
You may have to look for unpopular routes or wake up for the first metro train, but the result is definitely worth it!
Beautiful poses for a photo shoot in nature
Usually, if the photographer is a professional, he himself suggests good angles and poses to the couple. However, to feel completely confident, you can pre-practice with your partner .
Below are several options for how to pose; you can choose them or come up with your own, reflecting your inner world.
- Hold hands and walk slowly, laugh and talk. The photographer can photograph you from different angles, both front and back;
- Lie down side by side on the grass or on a carpet of leaves. Your heads should be touching and your bodies should be parallel or perpendicular to each other. This photo looks better if taken from above rather than from the side.
- The girl can stand behind the boy and put her hand on his shoulder. However, if you switch places, the photo will turn out no less beautiful and romantic.
- If a young man takes his future wife in his arms, spins him around a little, or even throws him slightly into the air, several interesting shots will come out at once.
Field
Ears of corn, leaden sky and loose earth – how do you like this autumn aesthetic for shooting a love story? A wedding photo shoot in a field is suitable if you want to add a little drama to your shots, rather than focusing on a sugary romantic picture.
Ideas for a photo shoot in sunny weather
- Successful locations. A good photographer knows not only the list of traditional places in the city where it is customary to conduct a photo shoot. But he is also familiar with secluded corners, the natural beauty of which will brighten up any photos even without the use of special accessories. Such good places on a fine autumn day can be parks, forests, meadows, embankments of rivers and lakes, and beaches. The richness of the palette and landscapes of autumn nature will serve as the best backdrop for a wedding photo shoot.
- Game of colors. Using techniques that can enhance and enliven some shades, while muting others, will allow you to highlight the necessary accents. So, against the background of restrained tones of the young people’s clothes, yellow and orange foliage, autumn flowering plants blazing with fire, and a piercing blue sky will look expressive, and such photos will look elegant and stylish.
- Comfort like home. If the weather permits, you can use household utensils and interior elements in the photo shoot: wicker furniture, soft and warm blankets, books, old photo albums. Or arrange a real tea party and add a samovar, saucers, and bagels into the frame. Such things, familiar to every home, will give wedding photos a special soulfulness.
- Animals in the frame. Photo shoots in which birds and animals take part in the frame are becoming increasingly popular. Horses, for example, due to their natural grace and beauty, make for touching photographs. And if the young people are not afraid to get into the saddle, a shot in which a couple in love riding together on a horse will be truly romantic.
Sea
The autumn sea is completely different. It’s no longer so warm and affectionate, it shows its character and showers you with icy splashes. If you are not afraid of freezing and getting your shoes (and the wedding photographer) wet, then be sure to take at least a few shots on the shore of the cooled sea - it is incredibly inspiring and will make the result of the photo shoot unique.
Props for a wedding photo shoot in the fall: decor, decorations, accessories
You can include juicy apples, grapes, blood-red viburnum, sunflowers, pumpkins, and late-blooming autumn flowers in the frame. You can either randomly scatter them or put the bride’s shoe, glove, rings on them.
In addition, to decorate a photo shoot you can use:
- Wreath. The bride's head will be decorated with a lush wreath of asters, dahlias, leaves, and berries. It will add touching and romantic touch to the bride's image. Such ethnic motifs look very advantageous, and shots with them will dilute the family photo archive filmed in the metropolis.
- An arch decorated with floral material will not only be useful for successful and bright shots, but will also be needed for a symbolic wedding ceremony.
- Transport. Vehicles in the frame look unusual and funny: a retro car, a bicycle, a scooter, a moped and even roller skates. If you don’t have a Rolls-Royce, you can easily use an old Volga model for a photo shoot. Transport stylized to match the overall theme of the wedding would look very appropriate.
- Props. Bright satin and silk ribbons, vintage picture frames, helium balloons, kites, signs with funny inscriptions, large letters (capital letters of the newlyweds' names) made of papier-mâché, garlands, beads, lanterns, candles. You can make them yourself, or you can buy them at any specialty store.
Despite the approaching cold and the last rays of the sun, weddings in the fall are no less popular than in the summer or spring. After all, autumn emphasizes the beauty of fading nature, makes wedding photos touching, and the image of the bride especially romantic. And there is no need to be afraid of falling raindrops. Thanks to well-chosen props, bad weather will not be able to disrupt the event. And it can even become an organic component of the wedding concept.
By the water
If there is no sea nearby, then this is not a reason to refuse atmospheric wedding shots: a stream, lake or reservoir - anything that is near the city - will also do. It’s especially chic if you have a boat at your disposal. With this attribute there will be a million ideas for shots!
AUTUMN PHOTOSESSION OF MOTHER WITH CHILD
One of the most touching photographs is an autumn photo session between a mother and her child. These are sweet and tender shots that show the unity of souls, love for children and motherhood.
And shooting in the fall with a child gives you an extra mood! After all, there are so many “toys” at hand in the form of leaves, twigs, and wildflowers! Children happily pose, play, and spend time with their beloved mothers!

Under rain
How to resist using the main autumn special effect in a photo shoot? Kissing in the rain, jumping through puddles, wet curls sticking to your cheeks - all this is so romantic and real.
The main thing is to be careful with the image if running mascara is not part of your plans. Although we believe that such photographs also have their own very sincere aesthetics
Accessories for rainy weather
Rain is not an obstacle to a beautiful wedding photo shoot. Stock up on the necessary details to turn a cloudy day into a riot of colors.
- Umbrellas. Will decorate any photo shoot. The groom can carefully protect his beloved from the rain during a romantic walk. But don’t limit yourself to umbrellas only for newlyweds; equip your guests with these props. Umbrellas can be of the same shade, creating a bright background for a couple in love, or they can create a crowd with multi-colored umbrellas.
- Raincoat. Wear a yellow raincoat and pose against a backdrop of golden leaves. Or have a fun dance in the rain. In raincoats of the same color you will look bright and harmonious. Dress your guests in multi-colored capes, however, it is better not to overdo it with the color scheme. You can divide them into color groups (for example: to the right of the newlyweds there will be guests in green raincoats, and to the left - in red ones. You will get a kind of “traffic light”). Think about such ideas in advance.
- Rubber boots. Run through puddles in bright boots, because no dirt or slush will be scary for you. You don't have to use just one of these accessories. Combine, for example, bright boots and an umbrella. In this case, you should not be afraid to overdo it with paints.
- And don't forget about water-repellent sprays and spare pairs of shoes so as not to overshadow one of the most important events in your life.
Forest
Where else can you fully experience the autumn atmosphere if not in a yellowed forest? Dress warmly, pack a thermos of hot coffee and go in search of the picturesque edges of the nearest forest, and the photographer will capture the most cozy shots.
AUTUMN PHOTOSESSION OF A GIRL
Girls are gentle, sophisticated natures. And autumn is the best time to express this femininity. At an autumn photo shoot, girls can show their best side. Be eccentric, playful: scatter leaves, run around the park, bury yourself in leaves. All this will not only add additional design to the photographs, but will also lift your spirits.
We present you photos of this wonderful time of year!

Camping
A fire, cozy blankets, the soft light of garlands - let not only warm feelings warm you! A kind of campsite with a tent and a car, or even a wooden house hidden in the forest with a spacious veranda will be an excellent backdrop for a love story surrounded by yellowed leaves.
Goof around, drink cocoa, roast marshmallows, and give lots and lots of hugs. Isn't that what autumn was invented for?

Autumn ideas for photography in the “Love story” style
Even a simple picnic can be a great photo idea. Such a stylized event will perfectly complement your “Love story” photo shoot and create the most intimate and family atmosphere. And small accents in the form of cups and candles will harmoniously highlight the event.
Photos taken on yellowed foliage will look very romantic for an autumn “Love story”. You can simply lie down on the grass after a long romantic walk and, looking tenderly into each other's eyes, hug or hold hands while the photographer takes pictures. It is recommended to blur the background a little, focusing attention on what is happening.
Interesting and even slightly extravagant photos are obtained if you equip the photo area with all the attributes for a romantic dinner. A wooden table, chairs, colorful bedspreads and tablecloths, wicker baskets and impressively laid out food will create a spectacular backdrop for a couple in love.
Do you want to convey an atmosphere of family and comfort? Then a boho-chic picnic will be a real boon for your autumn photo shoot in the “Love story” style. A tent made of lace fabrics can be complemented with all sorts of small attributes, for example, rich red apples, notebooks, colorful pillows, a guitar and animal figurines. A carpet with ornaments is used as bedding.
A great photo idea for a wedding photo shoot in the fall can be a simple walk in the park or forest. Distant angles look especially good, showing how a couple casually sat down on a fallen tree or bench and had a nice conversation. This kind of photography goes best with light, unpretentious images of the newlyweds.
A good idea for your autumn “Love story” could be a bike ride around the city. The cheerful, joyful atmosphere will be emphasized by the colorful autumn surroundings. Thanks to the bicycle in the photo, you will be able to convey very important things from the life of your couple: such a pastime will show how you can do things together, actively relax and support each other together.
Photos where the main focus of the composition is shifted to a corner look great in a wedding album. For example, the silhouette of a couple in love, which is visible through the lush branches of already naked trees. Or the photographer can capture more of the top space in the photo to convey the atmosphere of autumn nature.
An autumn wedding, captured against the backdrop of nature, is a classic option for “Love story” photography. The bride and groom can express their tender attitude towards each other directly in the photo, leaving a mark in their memory for many years. And simple, unpretentious, but elegant outfits will greatly support the integrity of the composition.
A wedding photo shoot, in which a photographer will take pictures of your romantic walk in the park, will remind you that the joy of spending time together can be derived from simple things. As finishing touches, you can add contrasting colored headdresses or a bouquet of leaves to the composition.
Distant angles that capture a couple against the background of a colorful landscape can become a real example of photographic art. Finely selected outfits combined with natural surroundings allow the couple to look effortless and free. Both a frame of trees and a distant mountain background would be appropriate here.
A wonderful atmosphere can be conveyed in photos taken during a walk in the field, especially if you find collected sawn logs, which will add a noticeable zest to the style of the shooting. Lovers can hug and show affection to each other while sitting on logs against the backdrop of a beautiful field landscape.
Fireworks and smoke screens are a great addition to a fall wedding. A couple in love can blow colorful smoke from special devices held in their hands. This presentation emphasizes the festive atmosphere in the photographs of your “Love story” and reminds of the exclusivity of such a special day.
Original and unusual photographs against the backdrop of a colorfully designed bicycle rack will definitely add bright accents to your daily life. And the light dance movements of a couple in love will emphasize the joyful and active mood during the shooting.
Photos that show the newlyweds walking through an autumn field are perfect for the “Love story” photo collection. You can gently hold hands and give each other warm glances, which will be quite enough to create very romantic, heartfelt shots. An additional element such as a bouquet of wheat ears tied with a bright ribbon will help complete the composition.
Rich bright orange foliage will provide the perfect setting for a “Love story” style photo shoot. A warm range of clothes, selected in red and brown tones, will competently complement the overall atmosphere with warmth and comfort. And the colorful natural frame perfectly focuses attention on the main characters of the photographs.
Touching and tender photos are obtained with the right combination of the beauty of autumn landscapes and the sincere expression of the feelings of lovers. Great pictures come out against the backdrop of an autumn park, especially if the main focus is on the couple. A cloudy background will emphasize the importance of what is happening.
Fog, dry leaves and bare tree branches, when presented correctly, can create a wonderful atmosphere for shooting a “Love story”. In such a gray landscape, a couple in love looks very warm and united, instantly changing the whole mood. Glass jars placed in different places in the picture will complement such an unusual autumn composition.
A gentle, trembling atmosphere can be conveyed in photographs taken in warm colors without strong contrasts. The dark brown tones of the clothes are ideally combined with the natural atmosphere, and a collected bouquet of foliage in the hands of the bride will harmoniously complete this idea.
For your “Love story” you can capture the time before an autumn wedding against the background of still green grass, which is just beginning to turn yellow. The angle directed from above will present the original author's presentation, showing the lovers against the background of a yellowing canvas. And to create the most autumn atmosphere, take a few photos just sitting on the grass.
To ensure that your photographs are taken in an almost homely atmosphere, you can take animals for photography. A beloved little dog that a couple holds in their arms can take the mood of a composition into an even cozier direction, especially if the shoot is taking place in a field.
Fans of a free and light mood will love an autumn wedding in a boho-chic style. For such an event, newlyweds are recommended to dress beautifully, but without frills, and the surroundings will be filled with many little things, such as a dream catcher, openwork ribbons and canvases. A lush green plant that a girl can hold in her hands will complement the picture well.

When preparing for photography, be sure to wear clothes appropriate for the weather, take food, a warm blanket, an umbrella, and your favorite toys. Children should feel as comfortable as possible.
