Your wedding day is one of the most magical moments of your life, but before the big day arrives, there’s an intimate, empowering experience that can add even more excitement to your journey—a bridal boudoir session. At Kissed by Light Photo, we specialize in capturing the radiant beauty, confidence, and elegance of brides-to-be. Whether you’re doing it as a special gift for your partner or as a celebration of yourself, here’s how to prepare for your session and make the most of this unforgettable experience.
1. Choose Your Vision & Style
Before your session, take some time to think about the look and feel you want to achieve. Do you envision soft, romantic lace? Elegant satin robes? Maybe something bold and sultry? Pinterest boards and inspiration galleries are a great way to collect ideas. Our team can help guide you in creating a mood that aligns with your style and personality.

2. Pick the Perfect Outfits
Your bridal boudoir wardrobe should reflect both your personality and your wedding theme. Some beautiful outfit ideas include:
- Lace lingerie sets – timeless and romantic.
- Sheer robes & veils – a perfect bridal touch.
- A white or pastel bodysuit – elegant yet modern.
- Your wedding accessories – shoes, garter, or even your veil.
- A cozy oversized sweater – for an intimate, relaxed look.
We also offer complimentary wardrobe access this season, so you’re welcome to browse our collection for pieces that speak to you.
3. Prep Your Skin & Body
To achieve that effortless bridal glow, consider these beauty tips:
- Hydrate & moisturize – Drink plenty of water and keep your skin nourished.
- Wax/shave in advance – If you choose to, do it at least 2-3 days before your session to avoid redness.
- Avoid new skincare treatments – Stick to your usual routine to prevent unexpected reactions.
- Pamper yourself with a manicure & pedicure – Neutral or soft tones work beautifully for a classic look.
- Get a good night’s sleep – Rested, relaxed skin always photographs best.
4. Hair & Makeup Magic
Professional hair and makeup make a huge difference in achieving a polished, camera-ready look. At Kissed by Light Photo, our experienced makeup artist, Angelina, specializes in soft, natural, and glamorous bridal looks that enhance your beauty without overpowering it. Whether you want soft waves, a romantic updo, or a bold red lip, we’ll create a style that complements your vision.

5. Relax & Trust the Process
Nervous? That’s completely normal! Most of our brides feel a little shy at first, but after a few minutes, you’ll start feeling more comfortable in front of the camera. Our all-female team is here to guide you through pose coaching and styling, ensuring you feel confident and look stunning in every frame.
6. Personalize Your Session
To make your session even more special, consider bringing:
- Your wedding veil or accessories
- A handwritten love note for your partner
- A bottle of champagne for a celebratory toast
- A special song playlist to set the mood
7. Plan for the Perfect Gift
A bridal boudoir album or a set of prints makes for an unforgettable wedding gift. Whether you want a beautifully bound book or a private collection of fine art images, we offer elegant presentation options that will leave your partner speechless on your wedding day.
