Music plays a deep role in many relationships. Including musical instruments in couple sessions adds a personal and emotive element that reflects shared passion, creativity, and memory.
Ask the couple beforehand if they play instruments or have a song that is meaningful to them. Bring those items into the session a guitar, violin, keyboard, or even a vintage record player. Choose a quiet setting, whether indoors or in nature, where sound and ambiance feel in harmony.
Capture moments of one partner playing while the other listens, shared singing, or hands resting on instruments together. Let them feel free to perform or simply hold the objects with affection.
Use close-up shots to focus on fingers on strings, facial expressions, or musical accessories. Wide shots can place them in a dreamy or storybook like environment.
In editing, preserve the warmth and mood of the session. Music themed sessions often evoke nostalgia and depth that should remain visible in tone and lighting.
These portraits blend sound and sight into visual memories that feel deeply intimate.
