5 Reasons Film Boudoir Is the Perfect Wedding Day Surprise

You’ve found your dress, your venue, your vows… but what about a wedding gift for your partner that’s actually unforgettable?

Enter: film boudoir — private, unedited, instant film photography that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

Here’s why it’s the perfect wedding day surprise:

It’s romantic in the most unexpected way. These images aren’t digital or edited; they’re private, physical photos that live only in your hands (and your partner’s).
It’s a confidence boost before the big day. Whether in your home in Los Angeles or on location before your wedding weekend, it’s a chance to see yourself through a different, softer lens.
It’s a luxury experience — without the performance. Think champagne, laughter, and the comfort of being at home — no big lights, no posing, just real connection.
It’s entirely private. No labs, no uploads, no retouching. The only eyes that see your photos are yours and mine.
It’s the perfect gift. Imagine handing your partner a small box of instant photos on your wedding morning — thoughtful, intimate, and beautifully real.

I photograph Secret Sessions across Los Angeles and Pasadena, but I also love to travel for brides who want to bring this intimate experience wherever they’re celebrating love.

This isn’t your typical boudoir.
It’s film, it’s feeling, it’s you.
