Why Are Seasonal Photoshoots a Good Idea?
So before we get into it, it’s worth noting why seasonal photoshoots are such a good idea to begin with!
See, it’s all about capturing memories and when you do this during a set season, it’s the easiest to then look back and compare.
Consider:
- Doing a Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter couples photoshoot – taking photos every season through the course of a year. (This is the perfect idea if you have a big year ahead, like if you’re pregnant or getting married for instance, as it really shows the changes, even throughout a relatively short space of time!)
- Doing a seasonal photoshoot year on year, during your favourite time of the year. So for example, let’s say Autumn is your favourite season – you’ll then have a cute couples tradition where you take some photos the same time that month, and can then look back and compare over the years. This really tracks the key dating and relationship milestones for you, over time, then.
How To Do Your Own Autumn Couples Photoshoot
If you want to do your own couples Autumn photoshoot, don’t worry – you don’t have to spend a huge amount of money on a photoshoot, or lots of dollars to get all the kit.
You can actually do a couples Autumn photoshoot on your phone with a little help from a phone tripod and button.
The tripod will hold your phone securely in place. (And when you get a good one, it becomes pretty darn sturdy!) Then the button enables you to press and snap a picture, without having to rely on the timer.
My partner and I use this set up all the time and it works a treat, so it’s certainly a budget-friendly alternative we highly recommend giving a go!

Fun Autumn Couple Photoshoot Ideas
So let’s start off with some of the fun Autumn couple photoshoot ideas, utilising – you guessed it – those stunning autumn leaves.
These are undoubtably some of my favourite Autumn photoshoot ideas, as it’s just so easy to get fun, candid shots of the two of you having a laugh together!
Throw the leaves in the air, or use the leaves creatively for more unique photographic shots. You really can’t go wrong with fun Autumn couple photoshoot ideas like these…
Psst, short on Autumn leaves? Then you can actually grab some artificial Autumn leaves! These can then be used in your garden or home… And no-one will actually know the difference!
Do Different Things
Another great tip when it comes to creating fun couples Autumn photoshoot shots, is to do different things or activities.
For example – why not go on a walk, or a hike? Mess around a little bit? Dance? Laugh? Shout?! Sing?!
Do the things that you enjoy as a couple, or things which will show the most authentic sides of you. Focus on who you really are, instead of what the camera is doing!
Keep It Cosy, Heartwarming & Sweet
Are these couples Autumn photoshoot ideas a little too much? Then pull it back a little bit, in a more relaxed environment.
Snuggle up in a coffee shop, or cosy up indoors – just the two of you. That’s right, your Autumn couples photoshoot doesn’t always have to be outdoors or adventurous!
Classic Couples Autumn Photoshoot Ideas
Let’s now dig into some of the more classic Autumn photoshoot ideas for couples
See the key is to make the most of the beautiful Autumn colours on the leaves, but not by necessarily doing anything… Just by using the environment itself to set the scene.
REMEMBER: Timing is everything when it comes to a couples Autumn photoshoot. Different times of the day will create completely different lighting and atmosphere. Where possible you want the warm golden lighting that comes around sunrise or sunset.
That’s right, if you’re looking for different morning date ideas, a couples Autumn photoshoot could be the perfect answer through the fall months!
Go for casual, candid shots of the two of you just doing something like walking. Or capture the more intimate moments of the two of you together…
Go On a Walk or a Hike
Feeling a little more adventurous? Then a walk or a hike undoubtably offers a lot of cool Autumn couple photoshoot ideas!
Check out these pictures and poses, and have a go at re-creating them yourselves. They really set the scene, tell a story and paint a cute, romantic picture, right?!
Go For a Cute Autumn Picnic
Talking of painting a picture, an Autumn picnic is always a great Autumn date idea, and so it’s a no brainer to combine it with a couples photoshoot, to capture candid shots whilst you’re at it!
It’s less of a classic Autumn couples photoshoot, but it’s still just as sweet. (Uh huh, you don’t ALWAYS need the Autumn leaves to create a cosy, Autumn feel!)
Halloween Photoshoot Ideas For Couples
Now, Halloween plays a key part in the Autumn season. It’s why Halloween date ideas are so popular come fall. For this reason, we just HAVE to throw in some couples Halloween photoshoot ideas for you…

Autumn clothes can play a key part in giving an Autumn feel. So have fun picking your outfit together beforehand. Make a date out of that in itself!
You can never go wrong with a Flannel Plaid Button Down Shirt Jacket. You could even get a matching one for men!
