When searching for meaningful date ideas, most couples rarely consider a photoshoot. For some, it simply doesn’t seem important. Many men, in particular, see little point in taking pictures together - the process feels unnecessary, the result less valuable than other ways to spend time as a couple. Photos are rarely something they look back on; often, they agree to a session mostly to please their partner.

But stepping outside the usual routine - even for something that seems trivial - often leads to surprising moments. Couples who try new activities together, without clear expectations, often remember the experience more than the outcome. A self‑portrait session can make this easier: no photographer, no instructions, no need to perform. You choose how to spend the hour, and it becomes less about capturing a perfect image, and more about doing something together, just the two of you.

For many, the value comes not from the photos, but from having made time for each other. One partner might treasure the pictures, while the other simply enjoys the memory of stepping out of their routine, sharing a laugh, or realising that sometimes the smallest shared experiences end up being the most memorable.

If you ever decide to try a session like this, keep the focus on the experience itself, not the outcome. You might find that the process - simple, private, and open-ended - brings you closer, even if you never planned to care about the pictures.
