Kristin

Kristin stayed at a gorgeous Bed and Breakfast outside of Boston the night before her wedding. It was a perfect place for a boudoir shoot! She was a terrific sport and had several cheerleaders in the room with her. I think she got some very sweet, provocative shots. Kristin gave me permission to share these with you!






Michelle

This is my crazy friend Michelle - her photos helped launched a lingerie modeling career for herself (www.valudlingerie.com)! Her husband Luis' (Wuis) family owns a manufacturing company in Brazil, so she had an abundance of fabulous choices of lingerie to choose from. And of course, we had to get the Brazilian flag in there at least once! We shot these sexy shots the morning of her wedding, super fast upstairs in her parents house. She's been asking me to show them off, here they finally are!





What is Boudoir?

Merriam Webster's definition:

Pronunciation: \ˈbü-ˌdwär, ˈb-, ˌbü-ˈ, ˌb-ˈ\
Function: noun
Etymology: French, from bouder to pout
Date: 1781
:
a woman's dressing room, bedroom, or private sitting room

I describe it as a chance to let out your inner sass! It's something that every woman should do at least once! You decide how sweet or sexy you want to be, and together we will pick an appropriate location for the shoot. Relaxed and fun, a tastefully sexy boudoir shoot is a great way to remind yourself that you are a beautiful woman! The results make a great gift for your boyfriend, fiancé or husband – or just for you!

Sarah, Welcome to Blogging



Well...this is my first attempt at a blog...I figured I'd give it a whirl. I'll post great wedding stories, sneak previews, and other fun facts. Like right now, I'm sitting here sipping some wine, thinking about making a huge leap in my career and doing this gig full time - a little frightening but I think it's time! I leave you with a photo of Luke.

Trash the Dress Contest!

Here is your chance to experience Trash The Dress in a very unique way. I am getting together with a group of 5 local photographers and a videographer to put our talents together and do a session in/around Philadelphia early this summer. The date and exact location is still being worked out. We are specifically looking for a really interesting urban area with some great architecture and a really green natural area as well – maybe incorporate parts of old city, Fairmount Park and the Art Museum – the possibilities are endless!! We are going to personally scope out some areas and find the perfect location. The fabulous Kamila Harris is coordinating, but it will be a group effort to select the winner(s) and conduct the shoot.

And don't worry about destroying your gown – a “trash the dress” session just for the sake of getting it dirty and gross and ruined - is not what this is about. This is really about getting one more chance to get really artistic, creative and fun photos in your wedding dress, creating some new memories - why should you only wear it once?? And your dress will only get as “trashed” as you want it to!

Does this all sound good to you? Tell us why you would be the perfect candidate. We are looking for the most adventurous brides that LOVE getting photographed and will go along with pretty much any idea we might come up with! Send your story and photos to ttdcontest@gmail.com We want to see your dress, and also photos that show how comfortable you are in front of the camera. (one entry per person please!)

We will accept entries until the end of March. I'm sure we will get a lot of amazing contestants so it will take a few weeks to pick our winners, and we are going to pick 1-3 brides to experience the photo shoot and receive a disc of high-resolution images from each photographer. Winners will be announced in April, and we are hoping to do the session on a Sunday in May– specifics are still being worked out, and I already have some amazing and talented people involved with this and as we all put our heads together it is getting more interesting by the minute!! Without a doubt this will be a really amazing day!
