Boudoir photography is a sexy gift for your groom and a keepsake for yourself. You may have recently indulged in spa treatments, kicked your butt at boot camps, had a spray tan, and acquired a large collection of lingerie at your bachelorette party – so what are you waiting for?

We’re currently planning our first ever Bridal Boudoir Marathon on May 15th and 16th with ten fabulous soon-to-be-brides. A beautiful new bed set is in store for the event along with a small collection of bridal accessories. With brides heavy on my mind, I thought it’d be perfect timing to discuss what to bring to a wedding themed boudoir session.

One Brides boudoir experience from beginning to end..
