BRIDAL TRENDS: REDEFINING THE BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE

 

Imagine his surprise when, just hours before the wedding, he receives a gift-wrapped, custom designed "bedroom book" that was printed in Italy and has intimate photos of you! The boudoir trend is increasingly popular with brides and is a very unique groom's gift. But what about 'couture boudoir?'

"Couture boudoir is a luxury experience," says Shannon Michelle who runs www.shannon-michelle.com, a Boston based photography site. "It's an avante-garde approach to boudoir photography in which the same posing and lighting techniques used on professional fashion models are used for privately commissioned clients."

For years, the classic pin up, with lots of bright light and smiley, flirty, exaggerated poses, has been the inspiration for boudoir photography. Unfortunately, this is not always the most flattering type of photography for women. And let's face it; the pin up of the 21st century has drastically changed since that of the 1940's. The modern day pin ups are super models. They are seen in a more 'editorial' setting with subtle lighting and a style that often stimulates a tatsteful, yet sensual and somewhat provacative feeling.

It takes the right photographer to understand how to create and re-create this fashion forward style of photography. And Shannon Michelle is just that person. Having photographed the work of some of the most elite of designers such as Avril Lavigne, Badgley Mischka, Betsy Johnson, Carolina Herrera, Custo Barcelona, Diesel, Isaac Mizrahi, Michael Kors, Narcisso Rodriguez, Tommy Hilfiger and many more, Shannon is continuously keeping up to date with the latest trends. Fashion, style and designer ads are often a source of inspiration for her.

"Fashion photography is very exciting and I love every minute of it. But to be able to give the gift of photography, where the client feels pretty and confident, is very rewarding. The images are a reminder of just how beautiful they are and how they felt at that very moment. It's a perfect gift for yourself, a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or special occasion."

And what could be more special than your wedding day?! He'll love it,  you'll love the experience. And the photos will last a lifetime.
