Including A Boudoir Session On Your Wedding Morning – with Izzy + Co. Photography

Words and Photos by Izzy Hudgins, Izzy + Co. Photography

Your wedding day will be filled with emotions, moments and memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. But before you walk down the aisle, there’s a unique opportunity to capture a side of yourself that can often be overlooked amidst the hustle: your sensual, confident self. Imagine starting your wedding day with a mini boudoir session — a set of intimate bridal portraits taken while you’re getting ready.

This session isn’t just about beautiful photos; it’s an experience designed to make you feel empowered, radiant and truly connected with yourself before you say, “I do.” Here’s why you should consider adding it to your wedding morning itinerary:

CELEBRATE YOURSELF ON THE MOST SPECIAL DAY

Your wedding is a day to celebrate love — and that includes a little self-love! A boudoir session gives you a chance to take a breath, embrace your beauty and feel sexy and powerful in a way that’s entirely your own. Walking into your wedding day with this energy can be a game-changer, giving you an extra boost of confidence and reminding you of the beauty that already exists within you.

A MEMORABLE GIFT FOR YOUR PARTNER

If you’re already planning to surprise your partner with a set of sexy lingerie for your wedding night, why not make it extra special by incorporating it into a mini photo session? A few stunning, intimate portraits — perhaps with your bridal robe or veil draped delicately or your bouquet in hand — will make an unforgettable wedding gift. Your partner will be blown away, and you’ll have a private keepsake to cherish forever.

A RELAXED MOMENT BEFORE THE BIG EVENT

Your wedding morning can be a whirlwind of activity. Adding 30-60 minutes for a boudoir session allows you to slow down, be present, and indulge in some self-care. With a skilled photographer guiding you, the experience will feel natural and fun — giving you space to breathe, reflect, and focus on yourself before the day unfolds.

THE PERFECT CONFIDENCE BOOST

A mini boudoir session isn’t just about the photos — it’s about how you’ll feel. Empowered. Gorgeous. Ready to walk down the aisle glowing with confidence. As the anticipation builds, taking a moment for yourself can set the perfect tone for the rest of the day.

Maximize your investment with your photographer by adding a mini boudoir session to your getting ready coverage the morning of your wedding. This worthwhile addition will leave you feeling more beautiful and empowered than ever — and you’ll have a secret surprise tucked away for your partner to enjoy later, because every bride deserves to feel extraordinary, inside and out, from the first moment of her wedding day.
