Hello Everyone:

 

I have decided that I'm going to go for some boudoir photos. What i'm unsure of is how is everyone else setting up the presentation for them: Are you doing little mini pocket sized photo books with quotes and scrapbooking stuff?

 

or are you doing a large sized photo album?

 

Purely a scrapbook?

 

A collage of the photos?

 

An online album only?

 

I'd love any input that you might have on presentation because I don't know what to do with the photos once I have them.

 

Also, did any of you do a variety of photos? For instance, did you do some artistic nudes, black and white, color, "naughty", traditional boudoir photos, etc or did you stick with one "style"?

 

Also, any tips/advice for a first timer? :)

You will have so much fun doing them...I had a blast with mine. I posted some teasers the other day, if you want to see what style I did...

The photographer I used had different packages to choose from. The one I chose has a 10x10 "diva" book (photobook), a 4x6 brag book, and a few prints as well.

 

I think it all depends on how you want to give the gift to your FH. Good luck wink.gif

You look amazing! You and your photographer both did a great job! my photog has a friend that makes little pocket sized books. I want something bigger than that and when it comes down to do it I've done scrapbooking before and can make the same books as the tiny ones. Let me know how you like your album when you get it. I'm interested to know if they'll make it "magazine" style and have words and colors, etc. or if it'll be a plain photo album. :)

 

Thanks for the info!

I'm going to do a 8x10 leather album I think. My style? Well since I'm not a size 2! I'm going to do a few in his Chelsea soccer jersey, some with a satin sheet and prolly a long satin red nighty.

 

I'm not 100% sure yet, but I'm deff using the soccer jersey! He's gonna flip with that one!

i did my BD pics TODAY! it was the most fun i've had in quite some time! i HIGHLY recommend this! i'm getting a black, raw satin, hand-bound book. there are 20 pages in the book, but i'm not exactly sure of the size? i'm giving him the book wrapped with a big bow the night of our wedding! ((there are no words in the book - photos only)

 

i had a lot of outfits...astros theme (fave baseball team), schoolgirl, black, sexy outfit, jeans with personalized undies....there was no cohesive theme really. the hair and makeup was "glam" - loose spiral curls and smoky eyes

 

just have SO much fun - that's my advice!! :)

Angela, yes for my FI it's going to be a total surprise! I'm so horrible with secrets that I just hope I can hold out until the night of our wedding! Also, my photographer is downtown and we're out in the suburbs. I'm going to be doing several different shoots in different locations so we'll be meeting multiple times and for sometimes a few hours at a time. Hopefully I can *lie* well about where I'm going and hide my clothes, shoes, etc. ! wink.gif

Thank you for describing your book. 20 pages sounds perfect and the many different outfits sounds like fun! I'm so glad to hear from someone that it was so much fun! The personalized undies are great! Did you do it yourself or order them online?

I ordered them from Joy at SmartyPants Boutique! I can't wait to write a vendor review about her - she ROCKS! Just e-mail her what you want, and she'll create it! Here is a link to her contact info: Smarty Pants Boutique Contact Us

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
