How to Photograph Couples

Get your FREE course "Portrait Photography Quickstart" here:

In this video, I want to give you some tips and tricks that will stop you from ever blaming the location, lighting, or couple for your photos not being the best they can be.
Photographing couples brings a whole host of problems, different body types, shapes, issues, confidence level, etc, etc. I want to simplify all of that and teach you how, using lighting and posing alone, you can take a glorious photo of any couple, anywhere.
I've been a professional photographer for over two decades, I've won dozens of awards, photographed thousands of weddings, and that means I've got more experience in the field than almost anyone else around. These videos are a culmination of this experience designed to help you expand and improve as a photographer and even as a business owner! Enjoy!

She's actually stunning.

[@AKo-cz4fg]

"Actually" hahaha, as if she is not really

[@joev6506]

she ain't. she had that bitchy vibe.

[@raymondchatwinfilms7542]

@@joev6506 LOL I wish I didn't agree. It's probably just that she was taking the shoot too seriously.

[@drewcifers8thcircleofheck307]

I love her curves, she has a fantastic facial structure and looks like a dream to work with.

[@ghgfhhsfghs5588]

who is she

[@elizabethpajak9705]

Using the hand to check shadows, brilliant! I would have never thought to do that.

[@cobecerram]

This guy is a freaking MASTER!!!. Now I can't take a photo without checking the palms of my hands, it's an obsession :D it's like those old pirates when put saliva on the tip of one finger to check the direction of the wind haha

Each film by Jerry is like meeting an old friend, where apart from having a good time, you will learn something new. thanks for inspiring me since 2014.

You nailed it, sir. Another killer video. You put yourself in the beginners' shoes perfectly and then help them into the pro's in the most efficient way. I love the tight editing and high energy. Thank you! 11:15 - amazing!

Jerry you make it seem so simple. Thank you for shedding the light on us.

And yet another great video. Thanks a ton for sharing your experience with others.

[@MRBraveheartscot]

you certainly know your stuff - much to learn from your good self thank you !

[@skrzypczakpiotr1543]

Great material to learn. I went through the video three times by now searching for details and each time found something interesting. I've been rather fun of natural, hunting good moments, but You turned the posing and light into arts. When I watch now clips of other photographers I discover so many imperfections with legs, hands and light. Thank You very much for Your teaching, good luck

[@JerryGhionisPhotography]

Thank you!

[@cobecerram]

22:18 "Always pick the best lighting rather than the best location". And Jerry putting himself in the dark shadow and the background absolutely burned. hahahaha. He does on purpose, he is the best!.

[@lanabirch]

So grateful for your time and effort in providing this and other educational videos. Even though I spend most of my time photographing Aussie Veterans in a bush setting and gifting these pic's to them after our weekend /weeks together, the tip's I get from your video's are very relevant and useful. I don't actually direct their poses, I'm just more aware of those candid moments utilising their natural quirkyness and habits. I am always looking for better lighting opportunities in all of my photography pursuits, thanks to your insight and inspiration. Looking forward to your future video's. 👏😁

[@JerryGhionisPhotography]

What an incredible service you are providing to our Aussie vets. Thank YOU!

[@drewcifers8thcircleofheck307]

I wish that I'd found this 2 weeks ago. I am an amateur DSLR photographer and I mostly do landscapes, it's just what I love. I was asked to photograph a friends wedding and while the photos turned out well, after seeing this I have a thousand ideas on how to redo the shots after the service. Time to ask them if they want a redo on the couple shots. Thankyou for doing this, I've probably learned more about posing and shooting couples from your videos than I have from any other source.

I love that the male /female heights are not ideal because that is very often the reality. You showed a lot of great techniques to bring the female eye level to the male lip level (ideal). What do you think of a 2 follow-up episodes: "Shooting couples in soft window light" and "Shooting couples in harsh outdoor light"?

[@JerryGhionisPhotography]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep those in mind. I'm planning a specific height different tutorial as, like you say, a very common problem we face!
