Your honeymoon begins a beautiful new chapter in your life together. It's a time for romance, adventure, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. While you'll undoubtedly take some selfies and candid shots during your trip, there's something uniquely special about dedicating time to a professional photoshoot. Here's why every couple should consider doing a honeymoon photoshoot.


Capture the Magic of Your Destination

A honeymoon is often spent in a dream destination, whether it's the sandy beaches of Bora Bora, the romantic streets of Paris, or the lush landscapes of Bali. A professional photographer knows how to highlight the beauty of your surroundings, creating stunning images that reflect the essence of your journey.

Honeymoon photoshoots allow you to authentically and naturally capture the joy and intimacy of this special time. Unlike wedding photos, which can sometimes feel posed and formal, honeymoon photography is often more relaxed and candid, showcasing the fundamental connection between you and your partner.

Years later, your honeymoon photos will serve as a beautiful reminder of your first adventure as a married couple. They'll take you back to how you felt during those carefree days of love and discovery. Let's face it; you worked your butt off to look that good at your wedding. You need more than just wedding shots to immortalize this period of your life!





A Chance to Celebrate Your Love Story

A honeymoon photoshoot is an opportunity to celebrate your unique love story in an intimate setting. You can choose meaningful locations or try a theme reflecting your personality and relationship, making the experience yours.





Less Pressure Than the Wedding Day

Unlike on your wedding day, when time is limited and schedules are tight, your honeymoon offers a more relaxed atmosphere. Giving you the freedom to enjoy the photoshoot without pressure results in more genuine and spontaneous photos.





Professional Quality Makes a Difference

While smartphones and selfies are great for quick snaps, nothing compares to the quality and creativity of a professional photographer. Their expertise ensures that lighting, angles, and composition are perfect, giving you a polished collection of images.





A Fun and Romantic Experience

Honeymoon photoshoots are more than just a photography session – they're an experience. Exploring scenic spots together, laughing, and sharing special moments while being photographed can be incredibly romantic and fun. If your honeymoon is in a destination that offers underwater or flying dress photoshoots, take advantage of the opportunity for a unique experience and divine photos.



Perfect for Announcements and Keepsakes

Honeymoon photos make for excellent announcements or thank-you cards. They're also perfect for creating keepsakes like photo books, framed prints, or custom holiday cards you can cherish and share.

  • Photographer: Look for someone specializing in destination or couple photography and whose style aligns with your vision. I work with Pix Around, and my clients enjoy unique benefits.

  • Coordinate Your Outfits: Wear clothing that complements the setting and each other while staying true to your style.

  • Plan Around the Best Light: Schedule your shoot during golden hours (early morning or late afternoon) for the most flattering natural light.

  • Incorporate Meaningful Details: Whether it's a favorite accessory, a local cultural element, or a unique location, adding personal touches can make your photos even more memorable.

  • Relax and Have Fun: The best photos come when you are genuinely enjoying yourselves. Trust your photographer and focus on each other.


Your honeymoon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and a professional photoshoot ensures you have beautiful, tangible memories to look back on. Beyond the pictures, it's an opportunity to celebrate your love and the journey you're starting together. So, consider adding a honeymoon photoshoot to your itinerary as you plan your romantic getaway. It's an investment in preserving the magic of this special time forever.
