Boudoir Photos - Classy or Trashy?

[Deleted User]

I think they have the ability to be very classy.  I will be doing them for my FH's eyes only.

I think sometimes when posting, brides get so excited and feel a sense of community and friendship and often know girls on their respective boards and forget that some of the stuff is accessible by anyone doing a google search. .. . 

I am currently interviewing/researching photographers. .. But I think it will be a great idea and his mouth is gonna DROP!!! Just gonna figure out the best day to give them to him.

I plan on having them done for my fiance as a wedding gift. However, I am not going to sign a release that allows my photograher to post them or show them off! That is something for my husband's eyes only...even if I plan on being tastefully covered up in them. My opinion is why not have them done? I should capture my body now while I still look good!

I think theyre kinda trashy - and i really dont know anyone who has had these done who HASN'T shared them with more than FI/H - just saying.....

I'm really considering getting some done for my fiance for his wedding gift. I know he would love them but I also know his first thought when he saw them would be "who took these sexy pictures of my wife?" Not sure how I should handle that one, I wouldn't classify him as a jealous man but he is very private, He like things that happen in the bedroom to stay between us.  Soo should I get them done?

Classy. I will be doing a boudoir shoot. I can't imagine doing one with some random photog I just met, but I booked mine very early in my almost 2-yr. engagement and we have sort of become friends. It is crucial to look at other shoots done by the photog to see if they share your same tatse level- which is why I would let her use some of my tamer photos. She keeps these password protected on her website, so she can direct interested brides, but they're not out in the open for everyone. BTW, by tamer, I mean face-only or mostly clothed, but none of mine will be "raunchy," I think it kind of defeats my purpose.
I will be giving these as a night-before-the-wedding gift, since we will spend the night apart. Kind of a wedding night appetizer, I guess!

Get them done by a female photog. My FI is not jealous at all of my male friends, but I think it would weird him out for another man to see me like that, even if he's a pro.

The thing that you have to consider with boudoir photos is that it's not just you and your fiance that see's you in your favorite "pose" it's the photographer as well and those he puts online if he so chooses. I am conservative but I don't think my FH would be unhappy to see his favorite boudior picture online for all the world to see.

I think it all depends on the couple and their personalities.  I personally love the idea!  My MH will see the photos because she's going with me to the photo shoot, but beyond that they are only for my FH.  Whether you go classy or trashy with the poses, if its something you and our FH are comfortable with and would enjoy I say, why not?  I know my FH would much rather something like that than any of the common gifts...he is male, lol. Also, when doing a boudoir photo shoot you are the one who chooses what you where & how much of yourself to show off, so just do what is comfortable or classy for you.  I hope this helps : )
