Bridal Boudoir Photography

Mike — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 00:20:37 +0000

Our newest product offering is part of one of the biggest trends in wedding photography around the world at the moment – bridal boudoir.
Bridal boudoir photography involves taking glamourous, intimate, often sexy photographs of the bride-to-be, usually some time before the wedding day, so that she can present them to her groom as a very special wedding present.
We currently have a very special offer available to all of the brides who have already booked their wedding with us, as well as any new wedding bookings, for a bridal boudoir sitting for just $50 – that’s a saving of $100 off our standard price of $150 which is available to any other brides whose weddings we are not the official photographers for.
