Call us vain, but we love hearing how Rock n Roll Bride magazine has helped with your wedding planning, but this may be a first! When Kirsty proposed to Vicky last year she used a copy of the magazine to do it!Read more...

Boudoir shoots have never been my favourite things but DUDEoir? Now this is something I can totally get on board with! There is definitely not enough wedding content aimed at men and there certainly isn't enough body positive content for them so I am SO HERE FOR ALL OF THIS.Read more...

When we hear the phrase 'boudoir shoot', there have been enough bad ones gone before to throw up connotations in the mind of something tacky, pandering to the male gaze, and overly sexualised for the wrong reasons. Today's editorial couldn't leave this further behind with its strong female subject who isn't looking for anyone's approval or attention, fresh and contemporary greenery, and a bright palette of whites, greens and pinks. And if that entire sassy black underwear range isn't in your online shopping basket by the time you're done here, we need to have words.Read more...

I must preface this feature by letting you all know that this is an explicit photo session, and one that not everyone will be comfortable looking at. But in the spirit of Rock n Roll Bride being about self-expression and doing whatever is right for you and your partner, I really wanted to share it! There are a lot of NSFW photos featured below and while I personally think they're really tastefully done and the story behind them is one worth sharing, I understand that not everyone will agree.Read more...

Boudoir shoots are nothing new. Hell, I had one when I was engaged in 2007 (and no I'm not going to show you them!) While lots of brides might consider doing them, I'd have to hasten a guess that a lot of you reading this might have dismissed the idea as something silly, vein and super embarrassing. While in 2007 the main marketing push for boudoir photos was an "a gift for your man" (vom) ten years later and I'd still like to encourage you to consider doing one, but as a gift for YOURSELF.Read more...

Couple's boudoir is nothing new, but what I love the most about Taryn and Adam's photo session is the story behind it. The fact that they're a totally babing tattooed couple doesn't hurt either does it?!Read more...

Have you heard about 'couple's boudoir' or 'intimate couple sessions'? They're nothing new, although the media has recently been batting them around as a crazy new trend in wedding photography! Yet intimate couple sessions have been going on for years and can create some of the most special, beautiful and emotional photos of you and your beau. Today I wanted to chat to photographer Dustin Cantrell, who specialises in these kinds of photo shoots, to ask his advice on doing a shoot like this. It was also a good excuse to share some of his gorgeous photography with you all!Read more...

I don't often feature boudoir shoots or just couple photo sessions (without the wedding), but when a shoot featuring someone you've followed on Instagram for ages pops into your inbox, you make an exception!Read more...

I've got something a bit unusual to share with you today - milk bath boudoir shots! Photographer Melissa Mullins explains, "I was inspired to create a unique twist on bridal boudoir. Something different for the independent bride who wants to showcase her rebellious side, without being totally out-there. I wanted to create something soft and romantic but also a little edgy!"Read more...

There's definitely a fascination with Marilyn going on at the moment. Just two weeks ago I shared a shoot recreating her wedding, and today I have another, this time of some of her most iconic boudoir photo shoots!Read more...

Joelle & Jake's shoot was described to me as "intimate, organic and unique" by their photographer Anna Jones and I really couldn't say it any better. Somewhere between a boudoir, a day in the life and a wedding portrait shoot, these images that took my breath away as soon as I saw them. Perfectly honest and stunningly peaceful. They are just utterly, utterly beautiful and everything a couple shoot should be.Read more...

That may well be the oddest blog post title I've ever written but either way... I have a love/hate relationship with boudoir. I'm sure I've written about this before, but while I love the thought of girls celebrating their bodies, stripping off and feeling sexy, I've just seen all to many boudoir shoots that are, forgive me, but so so wrong. A bit tacky, kinda cheesy or just plain slutty. Yeah, I said it... so sue me. But this is not one of those cases.Read more...

I have a love/hate relationship with boudoir photography. On the one hand, I think every gal should have the opportunity to feel sexy, and being photographed with that pre-wedding glow - either as a gift for your beloved or a treat to yourself - is a great way to boost the confidence. However I don't generally feature that many of these shoots, because, forgive me, but a lot of the ones I see are somewhat tacky... or trashy... or just not very sexy at all. Whoever decided feather boas can make the transition from hen do tack to boudoir class needs a stern talking to. There are exceptions of course, but in my experience they are few and far between. Well I'm pleased as punch to report that, again, I've been proved wrong with today'Read more...

**Warning before we begin, some of these photos may not be safe for work, so don't say I didn't warn you. There are boobs...nice boobs...but boobs none the less...** Most of you will have noticed that I don't feature a whole load of boudoir on Rock n Roll Bride. It's not that I don't like it, but I guess my opinion is the same as that on engagement shoots - the photos are amazing for the people involved (show me a man who wouldn't want to see his bride to be all sexified-up for him pre-wedding?) but for us non-involved people, once you've see one hot lady in sexy undies jumping around on a bed you've seen 'em all...Read more...

Boudoir photography isn't something I feature that often, but when I saw Miya's session I instantly loved it. The genuine vibe of these images, coupled with the beautiful use of light...and of course Miya's beautiful ink...made me swoon. Lots.Read more...

The trend for brides to organise a pre-wedding boudoir shoot to commemorate their pre-wedding self, as well as provide their husband's to be with a sexy memento of just how lucky they are (!) is one that has gained momentum over the past few years. Not many of you will know this, but Iactually did a similar shoot before I got married! Needless to say it wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be (it was the first professional photo shoot I'd ever done!) and Gareth erm...LOVED the results! One of the poineers in boudoir photography are For Your Eyes Only. The studio based company is run by women for women! They company was set up in 2002 by Alexandra Burns - her idea being to create stunning images of gorgeous women of all shapes and sizes.Read more...

I thought I'd start this Wednesday morn with a little bit of sauce...something a little bit sexy to wake you up proper! I don't feature a lot of boudoir shoots on the blog as it takes a really unique idea to get my heart racing, however when I saw Burlesque performer Roxy Rose's flapper girl inspired shoot, shot by Italian photographer Cinzia Bruschini, I couldn't help but have a little nosey.Read more...

Oooh la la! I have been a huge fan of Gala Darling ever since I discovered her blog about a year ago. I love her style, her positivity and the fact that she's not afraid to be herself and speak her mind. I love the way she writes and I'm inspired by her every.damn.day! Gala posted these très sexy boudoir-esque shots on her blog last week and I'm really excited to share them all with you too. I think these make great inspiration for all your brides-to-be wanting to do boudoir shoots - they show that great light and fabulous styling makes all the difference! So do it. Embrace your inner minx and go for it!Read more...

Bree & her cute little dachshund, Sadie decided to do a shoot for Bree's fiance Andy...a casual and cool boudoir style session complete with a record player, The Ramones and Andy's bass. I just love this vibe and I really adore how everything is kind of mismatched. Mismatched underwear is the cutest. I don't think I even own a matching set!Read more...
