The idea behind couple photos is to create a unique and memorable impression of the love story often expressed through photography. According to Hau Tran, to create beautiful photos, knowledge, experience, and expertise are three indispensable things for a photographer in particular, or any profession in general.
Here are some tips from photographer Hau Tran for couples who are planning a photoshoot to capture their romantic moments.
Take photos in a matching color scheme.
Thoroughly check your equipment before your trip.
First, ensure the equipment is working properly and choose the right lens for each scene or the couple's preferences. The photographer plays a crucial role in the photoshoot, so they must be full of energy throughout the process. No one wants to work with a photographer who sighs and complains after only a few shots.
"With six years of experience in the profession and having worked with many different clients, creating a beautiful and emotionally resonant couple photoshoot requires many factors," the photographer shared.
Besides the outfits, the shooting location and the chemistry in every gesture and glance between the couple will also make the love photos even more stunning.
Be aware of the schedule and timings.
Next, before taking photos, it's essential to know the travel schedule between shooting locations to avoid wasting time. Additionally, photographers must regularly update and improve their posing techniques to assist couples during the photoshoot. Hau Tran often uses Pinterest to find diverse posing ideas.
The final and most important element, which few photographers manage to achieve, is creating a relaxed atmosphere, bridging the gap between photographer and client. For Hau Tran, before the shoot, he spends about 15-30 minutes chatting and asking questions to the client, creating a more intimate atmosphere. When the client feels comfortable, the photographer is free to capture beautiful and emotional moments.
"That's the guiding principle for a perfect photoshoot," he said.
Capture the most natural moments.
Learn about clothing and style.
Each couple who comes to Hau Tran has a different story, but before each photoshoot, he always reminds everyone to go to bed early to prepare their energy for the shoot.
Hau Tran said: "Regarding clothing, I've never asked my clients to wear a particular outfit; I let them decide for themselves. But don't forget to remind them to wear whatever they feel most comfortable in."
Additionally, to capture sweet and memorable photos with your loved one, you can also consider various couple photoshoot styles such as: dressing in nostalgic, vintage styles; posing in a "follow me" pose; striking similar poses; or taking photos in a "matching" style...

Simply being together and striking identical, simple poses creates a romantic photo. Furthermore, these types of photos demonstrate the harmony and compatibility in a couple's relationship.
In Germany, some of the most beautiful cities for photography that photographer Hau Tran can mention include: Dresden, Freiburg, Cologne, Heidelberg, Regensburg, Bonn… And of course, the capital and largest city of Germany, Berlin, cannot be left out.
