Love story: a couple photo shoot in Alanya

A love story shoot is not a staged production but the story of your couple: how you laugh, hold hands and look at each other. Alanya has everything for it — sunsets, cliffs, empty beaches and yachts. Here is how to make the shoot feel natural, even if you have never posed before.

Love story ideas by the sea

• A barefoot walk along the water’s edge, holding hands.
• Running into the sea — splashes and laughter in the backlight of the sunset.
• Hugs on the rocks with a view of the castle.
• A picnic on the beach with fruit and a blanket.
• A sunset dance without music or to your favourite song from your phone.

Romantic locations in Alanya

For couples, Cleopatra Beach at sunset, the rocks at Damlataş, the castle with its sea views, pine-lined Ulaş Beach and a yacht photo shoot all work beautifully. If you want several locations in one evening, the 4–5 hour photo tour is the best choice.

Details about each place — in the article “Best photo shoot locations in Alanya”.

What a couple should wear

The main rule is one colour palette. A light dress and a white shirt, beige and light blue, terracotta and ivory. Avoid matching T-shirts and loud prints. More — “What to wear for a beach photo shoot”.

If you feel shy in front of the camera

Most couples feel stiff in the first minutes — that is normal. I don’t ask you to “freeze and smile”: I give simple tasks like “whisper something funny to her” or “walk and stop by the water”. After 10 minutes you forget about the camera, and the real shots begin.

Timing and price

A love story is best shot in the golden hour — 1–1.5 hours before sunset. 30 minutes at one location — €100 (about 50 photos), one hour with hotel pickup — €150 (100+ photos), a photo tour of several locations — €400.

You can add video or drone filming — and get a short film about your holiday.
