Boudoir photo shoot....

I think im going with a woman in Birmingham as she seems nice and cheap and I get all the images on disk. Birmingham may be a bit far for you though!

Hi,

You might struggle to get a photographer to give you all the images on a cd without any restrictions on printing and sometimes just having a cd can cost you just as much (certainly was when I was looking for a wedding photographer). Even if you do get a cd the photographer would still keep the copyright and have the original files saved so you wouldn't be able to get around the issue of someone else having the images. I may be wrong but just can't image the photographer deleting all their work afterwards.

My session was expensive but worth it. Fingers crossed you find someone.

Hi Sarah,

Who are you using? I have just had an email back from a co in Kidderminster that I think I am going to use (but getting nervous just thinking about it...!!! lol)

Sid

I have been looking for someone for about a year in the sussex/surrey/hampshire area that does the same, with a more ...reasonable cost, but no such luck, only found one place in brighton and the pics were really tacky and unclassy! Might have to surrender to FYEO, but could only afford one photo!

Hi Sidney,

Im thinking of using a woman called Just Rebecca photography, she sent me some pictures of the set she uses. If you want I can forward you the pics. Email me on *************@*******.**.**

Sarah

Cool thanks, will do that now

Sid

Was thinking of doing this myself but haven't looked into it. Just did a google search & found http://www.mk-modelportfolios.co.uk/boudoir.html which is based in Milton Keynes, looks like they can come into your house which I quite like the idea of (may stop me thinking about taking my entire wardrobe with me!!)

For those of you who have done this, how far in adavnce did you do your photo shoots before your wedding? (I need time to get into shape!!)

Me too moya and really cant justify £200 quid for one pic!!! not even sure if i got the nerve to do it but would love too. i will keep searching for us then!!

They are very expensive arent they! and i know how good there photos are so ill prob end up buying more than one and hubby will love them but be fuming when he finds out how much they cost! lol!

where abouts are you? maybe we can find somewhere between us and go together...via a bar for a few glasses on the way! lol!

I would need a few bottles of wine for sure!!! just not sure bout finding one of internet and going. i am sure noone other than OH would want to see the pics but would be scared of them ending up on the internet or somethin!! prob just being paranoid tho!

I did mine after the wedding for H's birthday present. I didn't have the time or money before the wedding and thought it would be nice to give him something after all the wedding excitement had died down.

If you're within 20 miles of milton Keynes it looks like is £140 for 2 hours in your own home & you get 3 photos for that (or the same for £195 in their studio). Think I'd prefer to get a small album though rather than a few large prints.

I think you could prob be sure that they wont get on the net, otherwise you coukd probably do a massive claim against them...and no ompany would want to put themselves in that position!

A few bottles...fine by me! ?

Your pics are fab Lynsey! Very nice and classy!

No proper photographer would risk losing their creditability by showing your pics off. I've given my photographer permission to use the photographs to show her clients but that was totally my own choice. You might be like me and just so pleased with the results that you'd show them to the world really. Well excluding my parents, mil and H's friends! lol

Gonna keep searching then!! just think it will potentially be a nice thing to look back on...esp once babies come along and i put on even more weight!!

Good idea about doing it after wedding as a birthday suprise, OH is 30 2011 so might be nice for then.....altho i still dont think i could justify the prices on FYEO somehow ?

? Thanks x

Do it! I did it and it was very empowering. I don't live anywhere near FYEO so i just googled boudoir photography and my local area and up came a few names, the studio ended up being 10 mins from where I live. It was a great present and he still can't believe that I did it!

I love the idea of this but have left it far too late. Might be something i do for our first wedding anniversary (paper lol) then i have plenty of time to find someone i like

A hitcher (or deadwooder) photographer - Crantock - does boudoir shoots - she did one for a planner about 6 months ago ..http://elizaclairephotography.com/boudoir.html

If I recall rightly she also did Bluewater's Trash the Dress / Rock the Frock shoot...

She is based in Kent.

I'm still not totally sure i would go through with it but still searching!! so anymore recommendations be fab x

She's going to have to start paying me for this, before too long:

You could try Angelica in Crawley, not too far. She's very reasonable (to my mind) and does some interesting work. (And all the images are retouched!)
