Your wedding day is one of the most significant moments of your life. It’s the beginning of a new era and most importantly- it’s a day about you. Between dress fittings, venue decisions and guest lists, it can be easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of planning. And while the wedding day photography captures you in one of your most beautiful and elegant moments, it can also feel overwhelming and stressful. A bridal boudoir photoshoot is a empowering and intimate way to showcase your beauty and confidence before your wedding day in a relaxed and intimate setting. Here are five reasons you should consider a bridal boudoir shoot.
1. A Unique Gift for Your Partner
There’s something special about giving your partner the gift of you for your wedding- after all, that is what the day is all about. There’s something uniquely unforgettable about the gift of a boudoir wedding album. It’s something that you can both look back on in years to come and maybe even have a little giggle over. There is something special about receiving a gift that is artistic and personalised- rather than simply purchasing an item from a store. It’s truly one of a kind.
2. A Confidence Boost To Yourself
In the age of social media where we are bombarded with beautiful imagery, it’s so easy to feel down and lacking confidence. But remember- a lot of these photos you see online have been taken by a professional, using flattering lighting and angles to capture the best angles of these models. There’s no reason why you can’t also use the power of imagery to give yourself a confidence boost. Professional boudoir photographers know how to highlight your best features and make you feel a million dollars in front of the camera.
3. A Memory to Treasure for Years to Come
Our bodies change as we age and move through different phases of life- having kids, hormonal changes, stress etc. I think there’s something beautiful about capturing those changes as we move throughout life.
I personally have invested in boudoir photo shoots throughout the years and I am intrigued by seeing how my face and body have changed. For me: having an eating disorder in my early 20’s and being stressed out from a job I didn’t like vs how I am now with a very healthy body and mindset (and doing a job I love). It’s always interesting to see how your life moments really show in the photos, particularly when the photos so intimate and exposed.
4. Celebrating Your Bridal Glow
A boudoir photoshoot is a great way to celebrate your bridal glow. Many women put a huge amount of effort into preparing for their wedding- whether it’s a meticulous skincare routine, extra workout sessions or treating yourself to a set of foils at a high end hairdresser. Many women opt to make the most of these efforts by booking a boudoir photoshoot, to really capture themselves looking at their best during this moment in life.
5. Hair and Makeup Trial
Many hair and makeup artists offer a trial before the big day. But it can often seem like a bit of a waste to just go home and wash it all off, unless your trial happens to fall on the same day as another event. Many brides-to-be will make the most of their trial by booking a boudoir shoot straight after. It’s also a great way to see how your hair and makeup appears on camera, so you can make any tweaks and adjustments for your big day.
