Here’s Maxine complete article:
The hottest (and sexiest) new trend is boudoir photography, especially when it comes to that wedding day gift to your groom. Hint: It involves the bride wearing a lot less than her wedding gown. On your wedding day you will already feel your most beautiful so take advantage of that extra boost of self esteem, plus can you imagine the look on your groom’s face when he sees them. Yowza! Boudoir photos are usually taken wearing just a little or well, maybe just a veil. Think classic pinup inspired, classic and tasteful not X-rated, more that you’re not wearing anything, but your also not showing off anything either. These shot are taken from the back or while you are lying on your stomach.
Bridal Boudoir Photography takes place in the privacy of your home, bedroom, studio, or and place you choose and feel comfortable in. Make it playful or sultry, subtle or shy, or justt let it happen. When it comes to planning your wardrobe or lack there of talk to your photographer the most important part is to choose outfits that make you feel sexy. Corsets will create sexy curves, but in addition to lingerie, don’t forget jewelry, shoes, and most of all that engagement ring. Acessories that you wouldn’t normally think of may make the photos extra special for your special guy. Example if he is into football, just wear his favorite jersey and nothing else or if he is always playing his guitar, well then you play with his guitar in the photos. Hopefully these will give you some great ideas. Just remember while you are posing that you are doing this for the man you love, the man you intend to marry and spend the rest of your life with. If you can relax and go with the flow, you will be posing like a pro in no time.
