Boudoir Photography

So what are your thoughts on Boudoir Photography? Glamour Photography or what about up close & Personal photo shoots? Some people blush, give a little giggle or just don't want to even think about this type of photography but then some people like me...thinks its a fab way to show off your gorgeous body!

We normally do photo shoots at the studio but if you wish we can arrange a hotel room or even on location. Before the shoot i would recommend meeting us to discuss what your looking for as we want you to enjoy the shoot and be comfortable through out. It's a good idea to prepare for the shoot - you may choose to wear lingerie, a baby doll or just a night dress but what ever you choose you must be comfortable and feel confident. Shoes and props such as tutus, hats, stockings....the list goes on!

Perhaps you have a reason for wanting a boudoir shoot? Getting married, an upcoming birthday, a present for that special someone, recently divorced, just had a baby or just because you want to be glamours, gorgeous and sexy for a day!

Below is a few of my favourite images from a recent shoot in a hotel room. The room was gorgeous and really set the scene for the shoot. Before the shoot began we spoke about different outfits, props and poses. Shelly booked the shoot to give her partner a Christmas present. Throughout the shoot there was giggles and constant chat about the poses and the results! Well you can see for yourself....







So what are your thoughts on Boudoir Photography? 
If you wish to book a shoot please get in touch.....See you soon!

For five whole days before Gemma & Wayne's Wedding it rained even in the early hours on the 12th of October it rained! But soon enough the Sun shone down over the Cotswold Water Park ready for the day to begin. When we arrived, Gemma was sat in her PJ's having her hair done while the bridesmaids were busy preparing for the day....not sure if it was the fact i was filming the days events but silence filled the air, there seemed to be no nerves just a calm and relaxed bridal party but every now and then laughter would fill the air especially when Gemma mentioned the maid of honor (Sally) did a little catwalk in her dress the night before.

The Ceremony was emotional...Wayne turned to look as Gemma walked down the isle to the sound of Snow Patrol "Just Say Yes" with her her dad by her side....lets just say a few tears flowed. The sun shone all day during the ceremony, photo call and right up in till late into the evening.

Thursday the 6th of September was a beautiful sunny Wedding day. We arrived at Stanton House for the Bride and Groom preparations. Firstly we headed to the Bridal suite, where we met a calm Bride to be eating toast and chilling out with her bridesmaids, mum and camera shy flower girl. Laura was calm but so exited! I stayed with Laura while she had her hair and make-up completed while Paul set off to see what Westley was up to.....a nervous Westley was getting ready with his best man and usher. He had a lovely surprise gift bag from Laura with a few essentials in such as socks, cuff links and most importantly a small bottle of whisky to calm those last minute nerves (this was needed)

An emotional Westley watched an emotional Laura walk down the aisle, both with beaming smiles especially when they were finally side by side. After the beautiful ceremony guests relaxed in the glorious sunshine. After the official photos were taken the grooms-men and Westley wanted to have a bit of fun and decide to climb a very large tree....10 minutes later the Grooms trousers had to be stitched up as they had been split! I will let you make your own conclusions!

I have known Louise (the bride) for over six years and after a wedding countdown of 352 days her big day had finally arrived on Saturday 29th September!

The week leading to the wedding it rained and rained, we had brollies and welly's on standby but on the day the sun was shining as it did all day. We arrived to a calm Bride wearing her pj's casually preparing for the day, laughter and giggles filled the air, her sister Rachel was soon doing the makeup and helping her sister with dress duty! 

We arrived at the church to meet a calm Nathan (the groom) who arrived in style in a vintage Austin sheerline, soon guests started to arrive and fill the church awaiting on the Bride to arrive also in the vintage car. The Ceremony took place in the family Baptist Church in Bibury, Gloucestershire, decorated with candles, bows and flowers. Louise walked down the aisle with her dad, as she entered the church she gave a little giggle as Nathan and the guests turned and watched. After the ceremony and wedding breakfast Louise and Nathan relaxed among friends and family at the evening reception, once the tear filled first dance was finished they soon got partying with their guests!

Mr & Mrs Ford

The sun was shining on Saturday the 15th September 2012 as we arrived to The Swan Hotel, Bibury to start photographing our beautiful bride to be, her beautiful bridesmaids and flower girls, as the champagne (and juice) started to flow amongst the girls, the groom and best man had a cheeky pint in the bar.

After months of planning, the big day finally arrived for Pat and Graham and because the sun was shining down on them they were able to have their wedding ceremony outside in the beautiful grounds of the swan. As the guests arrived Lucy gently strummed away on her guitar and when it was time for the bride to walk down the aisle Lucy beautifully sung "from this moment" by Shania Twain. Pats daughter Stacey did the honour of giving her mum away. During the ceremony there were a couple of readings from family members one being from Graham's daughter Kirsty which was absolutely beautiful and even brought a tear to my eye. After the ceremony the pimms began to flow as did the laughter and chatter and still the sun shone all afternoon and late into the evening.

As always I have chosen a few of my favourite photos form the day!
