Congratulations on your engagement! When planning a wedding, one of the common steps is arranging for photography services for everything from your engagement photos to the big day itself. Some brides-to-be also invest in a bridal boudoir shoot. The guide below explores some of the benefits of this kind of intimate photo session.

What Are the Advantages?

You feel beautiful, sexy, and confident as you prepare for the biggest day of your life, making this the perfect time to celebrate yourself. A boudoir shoot will be a time to slow down, pamper yourself, and capture this moment in time. You'll be able to look back at these photos decades in the future and remember how you felt. 

The photos from your shoot will be elegant and sexy. They are the perfect gift to give to your future spouse. For example, you could arrange to have the album delivered the morning of the wedding.

What Are Ideas for the Bridal Boudoir Shoot?

Bridal Accessories

This shoot is about celebrating you as a bride, so your accessories are the perfect way to set the scene. A veil, sash, or garter belt will all help create sexy photos while wearing your shoes, jewelry, and hair accessories from your wedding look can give your partner a hint of what they'll see when you walk down the aisle. 

His Clothing

Your future husband will likely love to see you wearing his clothing, and it's a fun surprise when he sees the photos and realizes you stole something that belongs to him for the shoot. Pick out one of his favorite button-down shirts, hat, or a sports jersey to wear for a few shots. 

Light & Luxurious

White and cream-colored fabrics bring to mind a bride. Choose casual attire to loose-fitting materials for intimate shots on a couch or a bed. They offer a lot of versatility for poses and how much you may want to cover up.
