Let’s face it. Weddings are focused on your guests. It can also be stressful, and anything but an intimate time for you and your future partner.
An intimate photo session—timed just before the wedding—is a growing experience for brides who want to give their partner something truly personal.
It’s not just about the images.
It’s about how it feels to be seen, styled, and celebrated before stepping into marriage.
If you’re already dreaming about this kind of session but wondering what to wear, how it works, or how personal you want to get—we’ve got you. Below are some of our favorite ideas at Studio Newport.



Wear Your Partner’s Shirt
An oversized button-down, hoodie, or favorite t-shirt from your partner adds a sweet, personal touch. It’s simple, comfortable, and instantly brings the focus back to your relationship. These pieces photograph beautifully and make the session feel connected.
Incorporate a Meaningful Prop
Think about something sentimental you can bring into the studio—like a handwritten letter, a favorite book, or a personal item that holds a shared memory. If your partner has a meaningful item, like a hat, guitar, or watch, it can be a subtle way to include them in the story.
Use Your Wedding Colors
We can style the set or choose accessories in your wedding color palette—think a soft throw, a silk ribbon in your hair, or a backdrop that echoes your florals. It adds a thoughtful visual thread tying your session to your big day.
Bring Your Wedding Shoes
Your wedding shoes are part of the story, whether they’re satin heels, sparkly flats, or sneakers you picked for the dance floor. Including them in the session gives your images a personal detail and a fun nod to what’s ahead.
Make It Feel Like You
Whether you’re wrapped in a silky robe, wearing something minimal, or posing with accessories that reflect your personality, the goal is to feel like yourself—just elevated. Our studio is designed to make you feel comfortable, confident, and at ease.
