Boudoir Photography
February 9, 2008
Several of my brides have been asking about this trend. If you’re not in the know, boudoir photos are slightly racy photographs of the bride dressed in less than her wedding dress. My advice has been to think carefully before stepping in front of the camera. What will you do with these photos? Hang them in your living room for all to see? Your bedroom? What happens when mom and dad come to visit and take a tour? Do you want them to see you scantily clad hanging on the wall? Yes, the pictures can come out beautifully, but even the most tastefully done boudoir photographs can be difficult to place. If you decide to have a boudoir session, interview your photographers carefully. You’ll need to be completely comfortable with them! Invest in quality make up and wardrobe. Take along some music (Janet Jackson would be good for this) and relax. Maybe have a taste of bubbly beforehand. Relax and enjoy!!
