Boudoir shoots are nothing new. Hell, I had one when I was engaged in 2007 (and no I'm not going to show you them!) While lots of brides might consider doing them, I'd have to hasten a guess that a lot of you reading this might have dismissed the idea as something silly, vein and super embarrassing. While in 2007 the main marketing push for boudoir photos was an "a gift for your man" (vom) ten years later and I'd still like to encourage you to consider doing one, but as a gift for YOURSELF.

Luckily, today we've partnered with Britten, experts in the field, who are here to demystify everything veil-related for us!

I got divorced in 2015, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. That’s not to say that I regret getting married -- simply that getting divorced was a very positive experience. In the past two years I have completely flourished, grown, and changed beyond my wildest dreams, and I’m also in a relationship with a man who fills my heart in a way I’ve never experienced before.

If you've been reading Rock n Roll Bride for a while, you'll know how important I think having a great wedding photographer is.

To get the best wedding photographs it's important that you and your photographer communicate. Disappointment is almost always a result of both parties expectations not being well aligned beforehand. As well as letting them know what you want, it’s also really important to listen to their advice and to trust their expertise.
