Wedding season is here! ~why you should do a Bridal Boudoir session

When it comes to wedding-planning, booking the perfect wedding photographer was probably at the top of the list. From your engagement session to capturing all the unforgettable moments of your big day, your wedding photographer is a huge part of your wedding, and there are a ton of opportunities to stand in front of the camera. But one thing you may be overlooking? A boudoir shoot. For brides-to-be, this is an opportunity to dress up in sexy-little-things and flaunt it. While getting your picture taken while posing in lingerie may seem intimidating, with the right photographer and attitude, it can be a liberating experience, not to mention the perfect gift to sneak to the hubby-to-be the morning of the wedding! Here, five reasons why you should consider a pre-wedding boudoir session.

1. To celebrate you

A boudoir shoot is a great way to celebrate yourself. As a matter-of-fact, one of the questions we always ask our clients is "who are you doing this session for?" and often times, that answer is "ME!" Boudoir sessions are the perfect opportunity to create some amazing memories that reflect just how vivacious you are. It's often easy to get swept up with work and life, especially in the stress of planning a wedding, but it is important to remember this is a celebration of you & your love.

2. To make you feel empowered

A boudoir shoot is a great way to boot your self confidence before your wedding. Looking back at these pictures, of moments when you felt sexy and confident will remind you that it's not the dress that's beautiful, its you! Nothing like a pre-wedding de-stresser like peeling it all off and flaunting what you got!

3. It's an excuse to go lingerie shopping

We know wedding planning can be all consuming- from securing the venue, caterer, band, and officiant (the list goes on and on…), picking a dress, corralling bridesmaids, sometimes, you get forgotten in all the mix, and the bride-to-be just needs a break. What better way to spend some well-deserved down time than lingerie shopping? Even better? all those sexy-little-things can be packed away in the suitcase for the wedding night & honeymoon!

4. It makes a great gift for your groom!

Imagine your hubby-to-be waiting for the first look of you walking down the aisle. The moment you step out and he sees you for the first time in your dress & veil, as you march towards the rest of your life together? Now-Imagine his face when you surprise him with an album full of provocative professional pictures! Bridal boudoir photos are the wedding gift these days. Secretly slip your hubby-to-be the album of your beautiful images before the wedding, and he will probably blush to his toes- but you know he will definitely be thinking about the wedding night! Enjoy yourself, and give him the gift of snuggling on the couch in 10, 15, 20 years reminiscing while flipping through your sexy album together- it will probably continue to ignite a flame for years to come.

5. It will make you more comfortable in front of the camera

The more time you spend in front of the camera the more comfortable on your special day. Many women say "I hate getting my picture taken" if that is you, your wedding can be an overwhelming experience. The most important thing about any type of professional portrait session is to trust your photographer- trust that we know the best angle, shadowing, and posing to get the best images. Those who hate getting their picture taken often LOVE portrait session. And a boudoir session is an intimate experience between a client and her photographer, requiring a lot of guidance and trust. The more trust, the better the images are as a result. So get that practice in ladies! To book a bridal boudoir session, contact us today for your complimentary planning session.
