Why You Should Say YES To Boudoir Photos

-by Jessica Weimer

Boudoir photo shoots have become more and more popular with brides in the last couple years. The idea of boudoir is to take sexy pictures in pretty lingerie and give it to your man on the wedding day so he can anticipate the night to come. Some brides don’t understand this tradition or don’t understand the need for it; we are here to tell you it is something you definitely don’t want to miss out on, not just for your future husband, who will definitely appreciate the thought, but for yourself!

Here are our top 3 reasons you should say YES to a boudoir shoot:

1.  It’s fun! When chatting with a newly married friend of mine, I asked her her experience with boudoir. She told me at first she was not into it; she couldn’t understand how she wouldn’t feel weird being half naked and having someone take her picture. But then she told me how the photographer started off by asking what her favorite features were and what her fiancé loved most about her body, she would then position her in poses that accentuated these qualities. This made her feel more confident about how the pictures would turn out. The photographer would then tell her she looked great or that pose was really sexy and it made her feel empowered! Having these pictures taken isn’t just for your fiancé to enjoy it is also a great way for you to enjoy yourself and boost your self-esteem by realizing you are beautiful!

2.  You get to wear really fun underwear. One of the best parts of boudoir is going and buying the sexy lingerie. This is a fun girl trip and gives you the chance to get something really beautiful and fun that your fiancé will go crazy for! If you really wanted to get creative you can incorporate your fiancés button up shirt or use props like pearls and fans, this creates a totally new and fun look.

3.  You don’t have to be naked. Some woman can think boudoir is borderline porn, just naked pictures, but boudoir doesn’t have to be like that! If you get a good photographer who has a good eye, your pictures can be very artistic and play with shadows and angles just right, that it is suggestive more than full frontal. These pictures can sometimes turn out more sexy and alluring because they are just a hint of something more.

We think choosing to do boudoir isn’t just for your fiancé, but for yourself and learning to love your body the way it is.  Wedding planning can be stressful and this is a great way to get away from the details and focus on doing something special for your future husband. Once you try it you won’t regret the way it made you feel or the fun time you had!
