Cute Christmas Scenes 

• 
  

  Capture a Christmas Date 

  Everyone loves seeing couples having a great time together! It’s important to find a great Christmas date idea and make it happen no matter how busy the season gets! Share yourselves enjoying that romantic moment together.

• Sharing a Family Tradition

  It’s fun to hear about other’s family traditions, and darling to do them for a Christmas date! Snap a picture of even the simplest tradition being enjoyed together. And if you want to start one together, check out our list of Christmas traditions for couples! 
  

• Enjoying a Cup of Hot Chocolate 

  This can be an out on the town cup, or mugs at home. Either give that cute Christmas couple pictures vibe! 

  

• Dancing In Front of the Tree 

  With so many romantic Christmas songs and Christmas love songs, one can’t help but feel the romance when the lights are low and the Christmas tree is on. Put your camera on a tripod and have a slow dance or a dance party in front of the Christmas tree! 

• Holiday Baking 

  Get those sugar cookie or gingerbread cookie cutters out, and document a moment of holiday baking for a very cute Christmas couple picture! 

  

• Ice Skating 

  We love a great ice skating date night! Add some festive outerwear and you scream perfect Christmas date night! 
  

• Decorate Your Christmas tree.

  Have one of you hanging an ornament and the other assisting in the moment. 

• Put the star on the tree.

  I’ve seen one partner put the other on their shoulders to place the star. You could have one partner lift at the knees for the effect. Or, you can grab a step ladder and elevate one or both partners. 

• Cozy by the Christmas Tree

  Cozy up on the couch with a lit Christmas tree behind you. 

• Snuggle up on the stairs.

  Particularly if you’ve decked the halls and the staircase has garland, the stairs are always a cute choice! And they give those “waiting for to open present” vibes that make for some darling couple Christmas photos. 
  

• Pass the present!

  Have one party pass a present to the other. You can get creative with poses and locations and they all turn out cute! 

• Create a gift-giving kiss.

  Kneel in front of the Christmas tree facing each other. Have both parties hold the present and lean in for a kiss. 

• The Upsidedown present kiss.

  Have one partner sit on the ground holding a wrapped present. Place the other party behind them, and lean in for a kiss. The person sitting should tilt their head back while the other leans in for an upside-down kiss. Channel your inner Spider-man moment for this one! It looks extra cute from the side. 

• Draw a heart in the snow.

  Jump in the middle and snap a cute picture! 

• Build a snowman.

  Take a mug shot-style photo of the three of you from the waist up. 

Fun Props for Cute Couple Christmas Pictures 

• Mistletoe Moment

  Grab some mistletoe and hold it overhead for a kiss 
  

• Candy Cane love

  Purchase two large candy canes. Make a heart shape with each of you holding one of the candy canes. 
  

• Grab those Santa hats!

  There’s something instantly more fun about holiday pictures with a Santa hat. Hold hands, snuggle up, or sit side-by-side for a cute couple’s Christmas picture! 

• Wrap Yourself in Lights

  Snuggle up and wrap yourselves in a string of lights. This picture is cute during the day, but even more romantic and fun at night! 

• Lights in Front and Back

  Sit in front of the lit-up Christmas tree with a string of lights in front of you. This helps with the backlit situation and balances the lighting situation while illuminating your faces. 
  

• Hold up a Merry Christmas sign.

  You can cut these out, purchase a sign, or borrow from a decoration bin. 

• Make giant snowflakes.

  These are darling for decor but are even more fun for pictures. Try to create a snowflake garland to hang behind you, and one to hold in tandem in front of you. 

• Surrounded by Presents

  Wrap a bunch of presents and sit in the middle of all of them. 
  

• Hold a wreath.

  Make sure both parties have a hand on the wreath and lean into each other! It’s one of our favorite Christmas couple picture poses we do every year! 

• Hang a wreath.

  Head to the front door or find a cute rustic-looking building and snap a picture hanging the wreath together! 

• Work that Christmas book!

  Grab a favorite Christmas picture book and get an overhead shot reading it to each other. 

• Wrap yourselves in garland.

  Grab some greenery or some sparkly tinsel and wrap yourselves up and look at the camera. This looks even cuter with Santa hats! 
  

• Wrap yourselves in a blanket.

  Cute and cozy pictures indoors or outdoors work great! Bonus points if you have a plaid, red, or festive-looking blanket to complete the mood!

  Red long johns and a winter hat with pom-poms make for a darling Christmas photoshoot for couples!

  There are so many hilarious festive fleece onesies! But even a less holiday-inspired matching set makes for a darling photo!

• Let’s get Fancy!

  Get those holiday party looks ready (even if you don’t have a fancy holiday party to attend). Think cocktail dresses, suits, or even a tux if you have one! These work great for Christmas couple pictures, and also work well for New Year’s couple pictures too! 

Make a Scene! Christmas Photography Ideas for Couples 

• Create an ornamented ceiling.

  Hang a bunch of ornaments on strings and tape to the ceiling. Step in the scene for a fun ornament shoot!

  These can be a lot of work to create, but the images are priceless! Also, many homes build these or own these to decorate with. If you aren’t shy, feel free to ask if you can take a picture with their lovely home as the backdrop. 

• Create a wrapping paper wall.

  This is so easy, and so effective! Choose a cute wrapping paper and wrap a wall for a photo backdrop. Put a big bow on the wall, add a bow to your heads, or just bask in the print.
