Bridal boudoir

Bridal Boudoir Photography

Elegant . Feminine. Uncomplicated

 

A private boudoir experience for brides who want beautiful photographs of themselves — whether you’re creating a secret wedding-day gift or simply want to do something completely for yourself before the big day.

You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need to feel confident. And you definitely don’t need to look like a model.

Don’t you just photograph Older Women?

 

Yes, thats me.  And yes I photograph brides too. For the past 15 years I’ve specialised in photographing women who don’t necessarily feel comfortable in front of a camera.

Women who tell me they’re not photogenic.

Women who have absolutely no idea how to pose.

Women who arrive nervous and say, “I’m really not sure I can do this.”

And then leave wondering why they ever doubted themselves.

That experience is exactly what I bring to my bridal boudoir sessions. So if you’re a bride in your 20s or 30s and you’ve landed here wondering whether you’ve come to the wrong place…

You haven’t. ❤️

Bridal boudoir is a separate part of what I do, created specifically for brides who want something beautiful, personal and a little bit cheeky — without anything feeling forced, overly provocative or unlike them.

Boudoir without the awkwardness

Let’s be honest.

The thought of stripping off in front of a photographer can sound considerably more terrifying than it does sexy.

Especially when you’re already juggling wedding planning, dress fittings, seating plans and approximately seventeen million decisions about napkins. You don’t have to arrive feeling confident.You don’t have to know what to do with your hands.

You don’t even have to know what you want. I’ll guide you through all of it.

My style is elegant, flattering and feminine. There can absolutely be some cheeky, sexy images — but nothing is forced, nothing is overly explicit and nothing should ever feel like you’re pretending to be someone you’re not.

The aim is simple:  just you, looking bloody gorgeous.

So, what actually happens?

From the moment you arrive, I’ll take care of the details.

Hair & Makeup

We’ll start with professional hair and makeup, giving you a little time to relax, have a coffee and get used to the idea that you’re actually about to do this.

I’ll show you what to do

You don’t need modelling experience.

I’ll demonstrate the poses, guide your hands, tell you where to look and make tiny adjustments that make a huge difference in camera.

You simply follow my lead.

Bring the lingerie. I’ll bring the confidence.

Bring whatever makes you feel fabulous — lingerie, a favourite shirt, something bridal, your veil, stockings, an oversized jumper…

And if you’re not sure what to bring, don’t panic.

We’ll talk through it beforehand.

THE BRIDAL ANGLE

A wedding gift — for you first, then him

Of course, you can create a beautiful private album for your partner to open on the morning of your wedding. Something intimate. Something unexpected. Something that belongs just to the two of you.

But here’s the bit I think gets forgotten.

This experience is also a gift to you.

Wedding planning can become an endless list of things you’re doing for everyone else. This is one thing that’s completely yours.

A chance to stop. To dress up. To be pampered. To see yourself differently.

And perhaps to remember that underneath the bride, the organiser, the daughter, the fiancée and the person worrying about whether Uncle Dave has actually RSVP’d… you’re still you.

What will you take away?

 

You can choose to create a beautiful private album to give your partner on the morning of the wedding.

Or keep the photographs entirely for yourself.

Or create a handful of beautiful prints to surprise them with beforehand.

There isn’t a right answer. .Some brides want the full secret album. Some want just a few photographs.

Some start the session thinking it’s entirely for their partner and finish by deciding they’re keeping half of them for themselves.

BRIDAL BOUDOIR WITH FLOWERS

Beautiful, not overly provocative

 

Boudoir doesn’t have to mean naked.   But here we are more likely to cover you up than uncover you. You decide how much you show. (But I’m not for you if you want full on bums and bits!)

It doesn’t have to mean corsets, stilettos and poses that make you feel like you’re auditioning for a music video. And it certainly doesn’t have to look like someone else’s idea of sexy.

My approach is about creating photographs that feel sensual, feminine, flattering and unmistakably you.

You decide what you’re comfortable with. And you can change your mind at any point.

Thinking about booking?

 

I’d love to hear what you’re planning.

If you’re simply looking for some ballpark pricing, that’s absolutely fine — you don’t need to commit to a phone call just to find out whether we’re within your budget.

Hit the contact button below and I’ll send you the bridal boudoir brochure with details of the experience and collections, and if you like what you see, we can have a chat about what you’d like to create.

If your boudoir session is going to be a surprise for your partner, just tell me when you enquire. I won’t accidentally ring while they’re sitting next to you! 😂

Client Testimonial

“I recently had a bridal boudoir package for my husband’s wedding gift. Sharon and Katie were absolutely amazing so I loved doing the shoot. It was lovely to have my hair and makeup done so beautifully. I was then made to feel completely at ease by these excellent ladies throughout. Sharon and Katie are a fantastic team. My husband is beyond delighted with the beautiful photographs! He said it was the best gift he ever could have got. He did not expect me to do something like this so was very surprised! He now wants to purchase all of the photos taken because he loves them so much”
