Looking for a way
to add a little more spice to your wedding festivities? Join the growing number
of newlyweds who are steaming up their pre and post nuptials with sexy photo
shoots. Give him a revealing photo of you nicely framed, and accentuating your
positives, or how about showcasing the newlywed glow in a photo shoot set the
day after the deal has been sealed.
Morning after and Boudoir photos are quickly becoming the
hottest new wedding trend. These photo shoots give the couples a “time out”
from all the stressful events of wedding planning, and captures memories not
often reflected in the ordinary wedding album.

Boudoir photos have been gaining popularity since 2009.
The term boudoir means bedroom in French, hence these photos are often taken in
ladies bedroom, dressing room or other intimate space. Boudoir photos tend to
accentuate your positives and little to no clothing is worn.
Typically given as a pre-marital gift to your future
husband, a boudoir photo captures you in an intimate light for his eyes only.
This is a gift that keeps on giving as he can look at it
and be reminded just why he married you. Studios that shoot boudoir sessions
can be found in every urban city and can run you $150 - $450.
Morning after photos consist of the freshly married
couple in sexy, intimate poses together. Michelle Jonne, a New Jersey based
photographer came up with the idea and said she was inspired by ad campaigns by
Emporio Armani featuring David and Victoria Beckham.
The photos are meant to capture the glow of the early
stages of marriage. The shoots are scheduled one day to a couple of weeks after
the wedding and can take place in the couple’s home or even the hotel room
where the honeymoon took place. Many couples frame the favorite and place it
over there bed, others choose to post the pictures on Face Book, or to create a
private photo album to be shared between them.

The average cost for morning after shoot is around $650.
It’s still a growing trend and has taken a strong hold on the east coast.
However, we are slowly seeing other studios in the west take up these sexy
sessions. Any good photographer should be easily able to capture the essence of
you and your husband’s love. The key is finding someone that can make you guys
comfortable and snap those priceless moments.
There has been a little opposition to the photos on
recent blogs, with people accusing couples of being “vain” and seeking
attention. Some have even gone so far to label it as porn! I believe like any
other photo session, you are seizing a moment in time, that you are documenting
the history of your love story.
What do you think, are the racy photos too much? Let us
