Bridal Boudoir Photography | Indianapolis

You’re getting married.  How exciting!  Whether you’re a young bride, and older bride, or this is not your first trip down the aisle, a bridal boudoir photography photoshoot is a fantastic gift for your groom!  

What is boudoir photography?

Boudoir photography usually focuses on women, although a new field of boudoir photography involving men is picking up some steam.  During a boudoir photoshoot, subjects generally wear lingerie or sexually suggestive clothing.  Many will choose to bring street clothes or sports jerseys to their boudoir photo shoot and use them in suggestive ways.  Soe brides choose to do tastefully nude photographs during the boudoir photoshoot.

When should I schedule a bridal boudoir photography session?

Make sure you give your boudoir photographer plenty of time to get your images edited and delivered.  Two-to-three months prior to your wedding day is a great target date for your bridal boudoir photoshoot.  This gives your photographer plenty of time to return your pictures to you, create a keepsake boudoir photography album if that’s something you want, and allows you plenty of time to print your boudoir photographs yourself if you have purchased digital photographs from your boudoir photographer.  

What do I bring with me to my bridal boudoir photoshoot?

Your photographer will give you specific instructions on what to bring to your boudoir photography session.  I have many brides who want to go super sexy with semi-nude, full-nude or skimpy lingerie.  Others want to cover up a bit more.  A great way to accomplish this is to bring one of your man’s button-down shirts, maybe even sneak his favorite tie away for your photoshoot.  If he’s a sports fan, a jersey, t-shirt, or hat representing his favorite team is a great way to personalize your boudoir photography session.

I don’t know how to pose for boudoir photography.

Experience boudoir photographers do not expect their clients to come in knowing how to pose their body.  Every body is different, and every boudoir client has different areas of her body that she would like to accentuate – or hide.  The best boudoir photographers will talk to their clients before the shoot to find out what these are, then incorporate boudoir poses to fit their client’s goals.
