Couples Photography In Bainbridge, GA and Tallahassee, FL

Love leaves its mark on every chapter of life, and looking back, it’s the moments we capture that help us remember the story we’ve lived. Whether you’re celebrating an engagement, an anniversary, or simply the joy of being together, Photography by LV Hughes offers photography in Bainbridge, GA and Tallahassee, FL that tells the story of your love in timeless, heartfelt images.

Couple sessions are among my favorites to photograph. While I specialize in motherhood, I believe every story begins with two people choosing each other. Capturing your love allows me to tell a complete story of your lives together — one that will weave seamlessly into your family legacy.

As I reflect on my thirty-plus-year love story with my husband, I wish I had captured more of the laughter, the fun, and the simple joys that have always filled our lives together. Our commitment, loyalty, and love have been the foundation of our home. Now, watching our children, I hope our story has whispered a lesson into their own marriages: it’s not always easy, but always worth it.

That’s what I hope to capture for every couple I photograph — the beauty of a love that is real, steady, and deeply felt.

Choosing the Perfect Location for Couples Photography

In Bainbridge, GA & Tallahassee, FL

The setting we choose together will shape the entire mood of your photos. Do you imagine an open field with tall grass glowing in the soft golden light just before sunset, or the charm of downtown Bainbridge with its brick streets and historic architecture? Tallahassee and the surrounding areas also offer dreamy parks filled with moss-draped oaks and hidden paths that carry a romantic, ethereal feeling.

What to Wear for a Romantic and Timeless Look

Colors that work beautifully include watercolor-inspired palettes — soft neutrals, muted pastels, and gentle tones like blush pink. These shades photograph with effortless elegance and pair naturally with your surroundings.

For styling inspiration, here are a few favorite finds:

• Indie Blue chiffon maxi dress — soft and romantic.
• Worth Collective maxi dress — timeless and flowy.
• J.Crew linen shirt for men — classic and versatile.
• Old Navy sweater for men — cozy and neutral.

I recommend coordinating instead of matching. Think of your outfits as a palette that complements one another.

The Best Times of Day for Your Session

Lighting is everything, and my favorite times to photograph couples are golden hour and sunrise.

Golden hour brings warm, glowing light that wraps you in a dreamy radiance. It’s that magical moment just before sunset when everything feels golden and timeless. Sunrise, on the other hand, offers soft, creamy light that feels fresh and full of possibility. Both create the kind of romantic atmosphere that brings out authentic connection and emotion.

Telling Your Story Together

At the heart of every couples session is your story. These images aren’t just about standing together in front of a camera — they’re about capturing the way you laugh, the way you lean into each other, the way you simply are together. My approach is to guide you gently while leaving space for natural interactions, creating photographs that feel like you.

The truth is, the images aren’t just for you. They’re a gift for your family and for the generations who will come after you — a visual legacy of love that says, this is where it began.

I offer full one-hour portrait sessions and shorter 20-minute Petite Sessions to fit your season of life. Full sessions allow time to settle in and capture your story in depth, while Petite Sessions are perfect for a quick seasonal update. Many couples choose one in the spring and another in the fall to keep their story beautifully documented.
