So, you've found that special someone and are ready to take the leap and make it official. But, you want to avoid the cringe-worthy clichés and do it with style. We take it from actor Zanjoe Marudo, who just hard-launched his girlfriend of several months Ria Atayde on his Instagram page.
Here's a list of signature couple poses to hard launch your relationship in a cool and non-cringey way:
How To Hard Launch Your Relationship On Instagram, As Seen On Zanjoe Marudo's Instagram
1. Low-Key Peck on the Cheek
You know those overly staged kissy pics? Yeah, let's skip those. Instead, take a cue from Zanjoe's playbook and go for the low-key peck on the cheek. It's sweet, affectionate, and shows your love without being over-the-top. Think of it as a subtle way to say, "Yep, we're together, and we're adorable."
2. Holding Hands While Walking but Make It Candid
Who doesn't love a good hand-holding pic? But here's the trick to avoiding the cringe: make it candid! Ask a friend to catch those hand-holding moments while you're walking together, laughing, and just enjoying each other's company. Candid shots feel authentic and capture the essence of your relationship without feeling forced.
Nothing says genuine like a good old candid laughing shot! Instead of posing and faking those giggles, let your friends capture those natural moments of laughter when you're goofing around together. It's a fantastic way to showcase your joy and chemistry without feeling like you're trying too hard.
3. Couple Outfits But Make It Subtle
Alright, we're all for couple outfits, but let's keep it subtle, shall we? Take a page from Zanjoe's style book and coordinate your outfits in a low-key way. Matching colors, complementary patterns, or even subtle accessories can show that you're in sync without going full-on twinning.
4. Adventure Shots Together
If you and your partner love exploring, show it off with some adventure shots! Whether it's hiking, traveling, or simply trying out new things together, document those experiences. Not only do these shots look cool, but they also tell a story about your shared adventures.
5. Caption Game Strong
When you're hard launching your relationship on social media, captions are key! Channel your inner Zanjoe and come up with witty, funny, or heartfelt captions that go perfectly with your pics. It's a great way to add personality and make your posts stand out. In Zanjoe’s case, he used “5/100 photos,” giving us a peek of how much they love taking photos together.
Back in October 2022, Sylvia Sanchez revealed that her daughter Ria was dating Zanjoe. Can we say, we stan this couple: the ideal friends-turned-lovers!
