Bridal Boudoir with Josey
"Make-up, such an amazing job!"
Josey was looking for a Bridal Boudoir Session, a little black book present for her husband to be! Josey brought a range of amazing outfits which suited her body shape perfectly. Here is what Josey had to say!
How old are you?
24
What do you do for a living?
Public service
What made you decide to do a boudoir session?
I was getting married and had no clue what to give my husband to be and your page popped up on a wedding Facebook forum.
What was your perception about Boudoir before your session?
Positive, as it’s a good way to remember what you looked like years down the track and remind your husband why he married you in the first place.
Did you have fears about committing to a boudoir session?
Yes, mainly due to price and how my husband would react. I’m not the shyest person and don’t mind being in front of a camera and was worried he would think the shoot was more for me than him.
Was the session what you expected it to be or was it more?
I didn’t really go in expecting anything in case I got the wrong idea so was open to most things for the perfect session and easy direction.
What was your favourite part about your boudoir experience?
Make-up, such an amazing job!
What was your reaction to your makeup and hair?
Loved it!! Looked like a proper modelling job.
Where did you go to source your boudoir outfits?
Honey Birdette and some things I already had.
How did you feel when you saw your photographs?
Excited and amazed as I wasn’t sure whether I was in the right positions a lot of the time.
What advice would you have for other women interested in their own boudoir session?
Go in open minded, stretch before hand and do some homework on the types of looks and positions you want to achieve so you don’t go in feeling awkward and not sure what to do.
Did anything change about the way you see your own beauty and confidence as a result of the session?
I would say I definitely felt a bit more comfortable in my skin in front of other people, I didn’t like wearing lingerie because my body shape is quite on the opposite ends of the scale in different places so I could never wear one size fits all lingerie or lingerie that was a set, but Kerry got a lot of angles that change the way you perceive yourself completely and made you look almost the perfect shape.
How did you hear about Kerry Sleeman Photography?
Facebook and Google
How did you like working with Kerry Sleeman, her team and other Collaboratives before and on the day of your photo shoot?
Was awesome and she kept you very calm along the way with directions to help you.
Would you do it again and if so would you change anything?
Potentially down the track as like a compare shoot or to get some different looks.
Would you recommend others?
Have already invited a few friends who have recently been engaged to join the page and do one.
Testimonial
Awesome thing to do even if it’s not yours or your husband’s thing, but it’s great for keepsake memories and something to look back at in years down the track. It’s also good to do if it’s not something your husband would expect.
I loved doing it for the experience and gained a lot of confidence out of it because I always would compare myself to a lot of lingerie models and it’s not about the body it’s about how you use it and the accessories are just a bonus that makes it look even better.
Thank You!
