Are you getting married this year and noticing that other people are booking photo sessions to gift their future spouse? Wondering should you book boudoir for a wedding gift? As a local Minneapolis boudoir photographer, I have a few things on this!
Should you book boudoir for a wedding gift?
Well, if you are searching for a unique and personalized gift for your spouse, that will truly stand the test of time… these sessions are going to be right up your alley.
There are two main reasons I suggest booking a photo session and gifting an album or other product (see full list of collections here) to your fiancé.
Two reasons to schedule a session for yourself:
One: this gift is profoundly personal and unique.
Not only is it going to be hot and sexy and amazing when they open their gift, it’s also something that is just for them. They adore you & your body, and having that memorialized in a tangible way is such an amazing gift to give them.
Two: these photos serve to boost your own confidence as well.
When you step into the studio, you are saying yes to being vulnerable. To be photographed is to be seen. And to be captured wearing barely anything (or nothing at all!) that is a big risk. But it’s a risk with a big reward. Because in exchange, you walk away from your session feeling confident and powerful. You feel like you understand yourself better.
And aren’t those the vibes you want to bring into your wedding day anyway?
So should you book boudoir for a wedding gift?
Only you can answer that. But I can tell you that I have had bride after bride in the studio who has not regretted it. Bringing in their veils or sentimental pieces to make it even more personal. Showing up as their true authentic selves, so they can walk out feeling ridiculously empowered.
That’s what you’re signing up for when you book a session in the studio.
I know this client considered all of this before scheduling her session with me!
When she reached out, about 3 months before her desired session date, she’d been considering a session for a while. Her upcoming nuptials are what prompted her to go ahead and book her time in the studio.
She told me: “I’ve been following you on Instagram forever, and I can’t wait until it’s my turn!”
When we were chatting about her motivations for finally taking the leap, she listed out a few important reasons:
- To boost her own confidence after life had dealt her some health issues
- Becoming a bride (!!!)
- Wanting to gift her partner something really special and unique
- And to have photos to look back on when she’s “old and wrinkly”
This was music to my ears as a Minneapolis boudoir photographer.
When you decide if you should book boudoir as a wedding gift, I hope you’ll consider not just the impact it will have you on your partner… but also the transformation waiting for you.
When you say yes to the experience in the studio, you are telling yourself: I am worth this.
The logistics of it all, from the hair and makeup to the lingerie choices, those will all follow. I will guide you through each step of the way. But the decision? That is yours, babe.
If you are wanting to schedule your own empowering experience in my downtown Minneapolis studio, I hope you’ll reach out here.
My inbox is always open to you, and I would love to guide you through this process, whether you’re someone getting married and looking for that perfect gift, or want a session “just because”.
