A GIFT TO YOUR SPOUSE
Your wedding is an exciting time in your life! You want to make sure to savor every moment. A sexy bridal-themed photoshoot is the perfect way to capture some memories and create the perfect custom gift for your significant other.
A GIFT TO YOURSELF
A bridal boudoir shoot is a low-pressure session. It’s a fun way to get over the nervousness and jitters of being the center of attention and spending time in front of the camera. Because you’ll be working on a number of poses for your bridal shoot, it will help your wedding day photos look their best because you know what poses work, and have practiced them in the studio.
These sessions can help a bride-to-be to gain confidence in front of the camera, as well as allow an opportunity to test makeup and hair styles that could be used on your special day.
Don’t forget that makeup for your wedding is going to be more full coverage than you may normally be comfortable with. If you aren’t familiar with wearing makeup, it can be a little bit alarming to see yourself all done up. Having a session beforehand will help you to see how it looks on camera. Hopefully this will help you feel more comfortable with your makeup on your wedding day.
(Note: Our makeup artists also offer wedding day packages. If you love their work, they can sometimes be booked for your wedding.)
OUTFITS FOR YOUR SHOOT
What should you plan on wearing for your bridal boudoir shoot? Many brides will bring a veil or other bridal accessories that they’ll be wearing for the big day. Typically this can include white bodysuits, teddies, garters, stockings, matching lingerie sets, and slips.
We recommend some of the bridal lingerie from For Love and Lemons and Honey Birdette. Both companies have very nice bridal collections if you’re willing to invest in some quality pieces.
Our studio wardrobe also has some options for you, including a variety of veils and a pair of white Louboutin heels.
PLAN AHEAD
We recommend that you plan to do your shoot about three to six months before the wedding date. As you get closer to the wedding date, there will be so many things to coordinate. You don’t want your boudoir session to be just another chore. This lead time also gives you the opportunity to plan the shoot, review and choose your photos, order the prints/package, and have them shipped to arrive in time before your wedding.
DON’T FORGET ANNIVERSARY SHOOTS OR DO-OVERS
Maybe you decided to skip the bridal boudoir session and now you’re feeling some regret. The wedding is over but you still have the dress. It’s the perfect time for some fun shoots that you may have been too worried about before the wedding. Now we can incorporate your dress in some very creative poses. It could be the perfect one year wedding anniversary gift for your spouse!
We’ve also have some clients come to us after being disappointed with wedding photos done by other photographers. They hired us to do some post-wedding portraits that are a bit more dramatic, stylistic, and sexy. It was a great opportunity to get the photos they really wanted in a more relaxed and stress-free environment.
