Cornish Maine Boudoir Photographer // Why Bridal Boudoir is the Ultimate Wedding Gift (and Why I Love Photographing It)
There’s something so uniquely special about bridal boudoir sessions—they’re like a secret, sultry love letter to your future spouse. But for me, as a photographer, it’s also an amazing way to meet my future brides. I mean, let’s be real: meeting your wedding photographer while you’re rocking lingerie and killer confidence? That’s a memorable start to our relationship. And yes, we always laugh about it on your wedding day when I’m now in charge of capturing you in a giant dress instead of, well... a lacy one.
A Gift for Them—and You
Every one of my bridal boudoir packages includes an album because, honestly, that’s where the magic lives. These albums become the perfect gift to hand off to your partner on the wedding day—a private, intimate moment that always gets me misty-eyed when I photograph it. There’s something so raw and beautiful about the groom flipping through those pages, realizing just how lucky he is.
But here’s the best part: most of my brides end up ordering a second album *just for themselves.* And I LOVE that. Because boudoir isn’t just about giving a gift to your partner—it’s about celebrating YOU. The you who’s about to step into this incredible chapter of life. The you who deserves to feel gorgeous, powerful, and a little badass.
The Unexpected Bonus
I can’t tell you how many brides come back after their boudoir session and tell me how it helped them feel more comfortable for their wedding photos. There’s just something about seeing yourself in a boudoir shoot—really seeing yourself—that brings a new level of confidence. By the time your big day rolls around, you’re already a pro at being in front of the camera.
Why It’s My Favorite Wedding Tradition
The moments I get to photograph during the wedding day—your groom sneaking a tear as he flips through your album, or you giggling with your besties because they know exactly what’s in that little black book—are what make bridal boudoir so special. It’s intimate, it’s fun, and it’s a little spicy.
So, if you’re on the fence about bridal boudoir, consider this your sign to just go for it. Whether you’re doing it as a gift for them, a gift for yourself, or a mix of both, I promise it’s an experience you won’t regret—and one I feel so honored to capture. And hey, if we meet for the first time with you in lingerie, just know it’s only going to make your wedding day even more memorable.
