As the anticipation of your wedding day grows closer, you may find yourself wrapped up in the whirlwind of planning, organizing and all of the prep work that goes into planning your perfect day. Among the many details (seriously…why are there so many things to do?!), there’s one experience you may be on the fence about…bridal boudoir.

I get it. The word “boudoir” can be intimidating and you may feel like you’re not ready for it – whatever “ready” means to you. Let me hold your hand while I walk you through one of the most beautiful ways you can celebrate yourself in this season of life. I recently captured a stunning bridal boudoir session at The Rookery in Chicago, IL that will be featured throughout this post and I hope by the end of it you consider booking one for yourself.

Capturing Intimate Elegance: The Case for Bridal Boudoir Photoshoots with Your Wedding Photographer

Your wedding day is a celebration of love, commitment, and the start of a beautiful life with your partner. While you can expect me to capture the joy, laughter, and shared moments with your friends and family on your wedding day, there’s something special about bridal boudoir sessions. Bridal boudoir sessions allow me to capture a more intimate and personal side of my brides that is both empowering and freeing.

What is Bridal Boudoir?

A bridal boudoir session is more than just taking “sexy photos” – it’s a celebration of your journey leading up to your wedding day. It can be a tastefully artistic photoshoot that captures you in elegant, intimate settings or fun, edgy situations. The resulting images are a celebration of femininity and serve as a timeless and empowering keepsake.

Reasons to Consider a Bridal Boudoir Session:

There’s something insanely empowering about getting in front of a camera and embracing your body. There’s a reason I include a 20% discount on boudoir sessions to all of my brides. Not only is it an empowering experience for you where you get to see yourself in a new light, but it’s a chance for you boost your confidence in preparation for your big day.

One of the most special aspects of a bridal boudoir session is the opportunity to create a unique and personal gift for your partner. Imagine their reaction when they receive a beautifully curated album or set of prints that reflect your love and vulnerability.
