Getting married? Congratulations on one of the most exciting times of your life! But between dress fittings and licking invitation envelopes, don’t forget to take some time for yourself.

As the bride-to-be, a boudoir shoot is the perfect way to capture a moment when your wedding agenda might feel more like a whirlwind. The best part? It’s self care that keeps giving back. Here’s why booking a boudoir shoot is just about the greatest wedding gift you can give YOURSELF (and your partner too).

This One’s For You

An upcoming wedding or elopement is the perfect time to celebrate the uniquely beautiful you. Give yourself the confidence boost to slay on your wedding day and maybe even get to know a new foxy side of yourself. If you’re a more adventurous bride planning an elopement, consider an outdoor adventure boudoir session!

A Little Treat For Them

You’ve found your special someone, why not give them a gift to put that stupid-adorable grin on their face? A fine art boudoir album is the perfect way to spice up your relationship and a perfect keep sake of this exciting time in your lives!

Who Doesn’t Love An Excuse To Shop?

Let’s face it. Even if you don’t love to shop, you probably have friends who do. Grab your bestie for a fun day of lingerie shopping and throw in a weekend lunch for good measure. Shopping with your faithful ride or die friends is a great way to get feedback from people who love you to pieces.

Explore Your Options

In a perfect world, picking out lingerie would be a class offered to every woman. But let’s face it, no matter how many Vogue magazines you read, you probably haven’t pinned down your favorite lingerie type yet. A boudoir photoshoot is the perfect time to show your glow in whole new way. Whether you go for an open kimono robe, a simple bodysuit, or a garter belt and stocking look (or all of the above), this is the perfect opportunity to discover your ideal lingerie style.

PRO TIP: Decide what you’re going to wear on your wedding night and bring that to your shoot. Your partner will love seeing it in the photos, and love it even more taking it off of you.

Preserve Those Wedding Memories

As the saying goes, in 20 years you’ll regret what you didn’t do—not what you did. Commemorate the body you have in this moment by capturing it the way your partner sees it. Because you’re worth it. And when you look back, you’ll thank your past self that you made the investment. You may even show it to your granddaughter before her wedding so she can see how foxy grandma was when she was getting married!
