Bridal boudoir photography is one of the most unique and intimate ways to both capture your beauty & sensuality before your big wedding day! It’s a chance for you, the bride, to not only feel comfortable and empowered, but to have a special gift for your partner right before you walk down the aisle.Let’s go over some tips to help you prepare for your big day before your big day.
Choose the right photographer
The first step in booking a bridal boudoir session is to choose the right photographer. Look for a photographer who specializes in boudoir photography (cough cough MEEEE) and has experience working not only with brides, but also someone who has extensive experience working with all different body types. It’s important to find someone who makes you feel comfortable and confident, and who can guide you through the process of posing and styling. Obviously this goes for any type of session- but especially a boudoir session.
Plan ahead
Bridal boudoir sessions should be planned well in advance of your wedding day. This will allow you to schedule your session at a time that works best for you and me, and to allow plenty of time for editing and ordering prints or albums. Keep in mind our normal turnaround time is 6-8 weeks from your session date for products.
Choose your lingerie carefully
The lingerie you choose for your bridal boudoir session can be chosen to match the style and theme of your wedding – isn’t that AMAZING?! Consider colors that complement your wedding dress and accessories, and choose lingerie that makes you feel confident and beautiful. Don’t forget to include touches of your wedding like your veil or wedding shoes. If you’re not feeling those whites & ivories? No problem; let’s go with some sultry blacks. There’s no wrong answer in choosing colors. Your session doesn’t HAVE to scream bridal.
Get professional hair and makeup
