Couples photography with Clyde Vaughan

Great couple photos aren’t accidents—they’re built on trust, clear direction, and simple lighting that flatters in any conditions. In this Valentine’s special, Clyde Vaughan walks you through exactly how he creates consistent, natural-looking couple imagery from scratch: reading light, choosing the right background, directing movement so it feels effortless, and knowing when to add flash for a polished finish.

Across two focused hours, you’ll watch a real couple photographed in changing light, starting with natural light before moving into clean, one-light strobe setups you can confidently recreate the very next day. Clyde keeps everything practical and approachable—what to say to your couple, where to stand, which camera settings to start with, and how to balance ambient light with flash without fighting your camera.

We’ll kick off with a short welcome from Clyde and Georges Cameras, setting expectations and outlining the core promise of the session: you’ll leave with three repeatable setups you can start using this week.

This event is designed for wedding and portrait photographers, content creators, and keen beginners who want fewer awkward poses, more genuine moments, and lighting that simply works.

• Fast “comfort protocols”: prompts and direction that relax real people.

• Natural light workflow: find, shape, and backlight for clean skin and separation.

• One-light strobe made simple: power, distance, modifier choice, and camera settings.

• Mix it well: balancing ambient + flash for golden hour and after-dark.

• A reliable starting kit for weddings, engagements and brand work.
