Bachelorettes Do Boudoir Instead!

I recently made the decision to add a boudoir category to my website www.RachelLevinePhoto.com. At first I thought it was too "racy" to include on my wedding site but after attending a few Bay Area Wedding Fairs, my mind has been changed! To be honest, I have been shooting boudoir style photography, long before I became a wedding professional. It's just fun. But I digress, so let me get back to what I was saying. There were photographers offering boudoir at every wedding fair I have been to in the last six months. It's now completely acceptable, even enthusiastically asked for by the brides. I could not be a happier photographer!A hot trend that I am very happy to learn about is  bachelorette boudoir night. Instead of getting your posse together, renting a limo and hitting bars and strip clubs (admit it, you have ALL done it!) brides are now renting swanky upscale hotel suites, hiring yours truly and having the fun, flirty photo session of their lives with a little champagne, fake eyelashes and feather boas thrown in, it's a smashing success. Make up artists can be provided and everybody receives a beautifully edited image to cherish and show off to the man of their dreams. Who knows, we may even get a few more marriage proposals when these Playboy style images get back to the boyfriends.As far as trends go, I hope this one lasts a long time. There are photographic styles and techniques that can make every woman feel good about herself, so don't worry if some of your bridesmaids are more conservative that others. A good photographer will know how to make everyone have a magical experience that they'll be talking about for weeks. The best part is, after the shoot you can all stay and party in the suite so nobody has to drink and drive. If you'd like to set up your boudoir party, please give me a call at 415.672.6023 and we'll make it happen.
