Recently I have had a lot of brides come into the studio. Despite my lack of ability to hold my happy tears as I listen to your love stories and design albums personalized with lyrics love notes and wedding vows - my goodness does that get me excited!

Why many brides have a boudoir session before the wedding may be mind boggling to some but for us and many of my bridal clients it makes all too perfect sense. So why are so many women considering boudoir before the wedding?

First, consider there is a lot of planning that goes into preparing for a wedding and very rarely do brides take a deep breath and really enjoy the days leading up to the big day.  A bridal boudoir photo-shoot is a great way to celebrate your efforts and enjoy all the bits and pieces you have worked so hard to find. The shoes, the pearls, the veil, the dress... the list could go on forever. But the good news is one of the best ways to foreshadow the wedding is to include pieces of your bridal attire. I always recommend bringing in these things for the shoot such as a garter, a veil, or even take yourself shopping and pick up some bridal lingerie :). Slip it on and celebrate, girl! This is your day and you won't have too many chances to get into that dress - or out of it ;).

Second, he is not going to expect this! Of the unique ideas out there to express your joy, devotion, and intimate connection with the love of your life, a collection of boudoir photos is sure to woo and wow him. Give him something that he can hold onto and look back on for the "ever and always". You can surprise him the night before or on the day of the wedding with a special album featuring what he wants to see the most - and that is you! Your boudoir photos presented in a gorgeous album will knock his socks off for sure!

Just imagine the look on his face when he receives this unexpected gift...
