Brighton couple photoshoot

It’s up to you!

My best advice is to wear something that you feel beautiful in + comfy footwear.

Neutral colours are great but try to avoid completely white or black tops/tshirts as the camera can sometimes struggle with these. A pop of colour can also look nice.

As well as the colours, think about the shape of your clothing and how it moves. You can always ask your other half to take a few pics on your phone as you’re walking if you’d like to test it.

Whatever outfit you choose, make sure you’re both wearing a similar vibe. Ie. dress as if you’re both going to the same event whether it’s casual or a little more dressed up.

I’ve been there and I know how difficult it can be. We’ve been conditioned to be extremely self-critical so it’s no surprise most of us struggle with this.

While I can’t guarantee 100% that you’ll like your photos, I’m very confident you will.

It’s literally my job to take beautiful photos. I’ve been a couple’s photographer for nearly 10 years and I’ve had a camera in hand since I was 7 years old.

Things like lighting, the right angles and putting people at ease all help with creating flattering photos but it’s also about emotion. When a photograph captures the emotion of the moment it becomes about more than how you look.

I also believe that what we see as our flaws are actually the things that make us shine and what other people are drawn to us. I hope that by seeing yourself through my eyes you’ll gain a completely new perspective of yourself.

Your gallery will also include plenty of photos for you to choose from but if this is something that really worries you, here are my main tips:

• Book a longer couple session so that we have more time to get comfortable and create more photos for you to choose from.
• Try to work on your body image issues before your session.
• You don’t need to, but if it will help, consider doing things that make you feel beautiful before your session. This could be getting your nails done, having your hair cut, doing your make up or things like dancing in your living room or going swimming.

You have the right to change your mind within 14 days of purchasing your couple session by emailing me at hello@manonpauffin.com and stating this clearly.

As long as no work has been undertaken I will give you a full refund. If we’ve started organising the session there might be a small service fee to cover the work I’ve done.

Well that sucks! Sorry about that.

The first step is to check your spam folder, I end up there sometimes.

You might also want to check your bank statement and make sure the payment has gone through.

If you’re still having issues please email me at hello@manonpauffin.com so I can look into it.

In all my years as a couples photographer it’s been very rare that I’ve had to cancel due to the weather.

If it’s a light rain, I’ll ask you to embrace the weather and order some clear plastic umbrellas. I’ve taken some of the most artistic and romantic photos under the rain.

I check the forecast carefully on the lead up to your session. I might get in touch if I think we need to shuffle the start time to improve our chances.

If I can see on the forecast there will be a heavy rain, I might send you a message to reschedule.
