Many brides don’t think about another opportunity to step in front of the camera: a bridal boudoir session. Your wedding is a special day all on its own! Your wedding day allows you to be the star of the show. From getting ready to walking down the aisle to family photos, you’ll be in front of the camera all day and will have plenty of images to look back on. A bridal boudoir experience is intimate, fun and exhilarating. Knowing you will be able to design a luxurious photo album full of images from this amazing experience, to share with your partner is just the icing on the (wedding) cake.

Putting on pretty lingerie and strutting your stuff may seem intimidating, but with the right attitude—and the right photographer—a bridal boudoir shoot can be an empowering and amazing experience. I hear you loud and clear. You’re thinking, “I can’t do that! I can’t wear sexy clothing and have a stranger take photos of me.” I can assure you, after the first 10-15 minutes of being in the studio, you will not feel like I am a stranger. Confidently, I will ease your nerves. In addition to pre-session prep emails and guides, I will help you understand step-by-step what will happen in the studio, so you know what to expect well before hand.

1-Feel Empowered and Gorgeous in your Bridal Boudoir Session

A boudoir shoot is a great way to increase your self-confidence before your wedding and to help you feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin. This is something we could all use more of every day, but during the stress and nerves of wedding planning, a little extra confidence can be just the boost you need. Can you imagine having that heightened level of confidence, on your wedding day?!

2- Get More Comfortable in Front of the Camera

If your wedding photographer offers boudoir, scheduling a shoot is a great way to get more comfortable with them and with being the center of attention. Feeling more comfortable will lead to better images on your big day. After all, if you can rock it in lingerie, you can definitely handle shots of you in your wedding dress!

3-Bridal Boudoir: An Excuse to go Shopping

In between scheduling the caterer, booking the venue, and everything else that comes with wedding planning, chances are you could use a break. What better way to spend some much-needed downtime than to go look for something sexy that will make you feel beautiful? Plus, you’re going to want some new pieces for your wedding night and honeymoon.

4-Capture a Special Moment in Your Life

Most brides are at their physical peak. They’ve worked hard to look stunning for their wedding, and a boudoir session is an awesome way to capture that moment and that feeling. Photographs are able to transport us back to a specific time and place and often bring back the emotions we felt that day. Boudoir photos can help you document a time when you felt your most beautiful.

5-Give Your Groom a Unique Gift

The love of your life sees you at your best and your worst and still loves you and thinks you’re gorgeous. Imagine his reaction when you surprise him with an album of boudoir photos the morning of your wedding day! It’s a gift that will get you both excited for your wedding night and will make your day that much more special.

Bridal boudoir is so much more than a sexy photo shoot. It’s a chance to liberate and empower yourself, to recognize your own beauty, and to make the time before your wedding a little less stressful.
