Boudoir Photography- New member

skinsgirl

First of all, I should probably introduce myself I have been a member of the knot for a while now, but I don't post often. I hope to change that! My perfect fiance and I will be married on May 12, 2012, and our reception will be at the Edgeworth Club. Our colors are black and champagne, and our reception will be very formal. I have some vendor experience, so hopefully I can share some of that with all of you! Photography is my personal 'splurge' for our wedding.

What does everyone in the area have to say about the topic of boudoir photography? I am about to begin the process of confirming a photographer (I love Leeann, at Wink, and her prices are the best I've found). My plan is to give this to my fiance as a gift, the night before the wedding. If you did the boudoir thing, who was your photog, and how did you feel about the outcome? What was your hubby's reaction?

Perhaps MORE importantly, does anyone, boudoir-related or not, have advice as to where I can find some awesome lingerie? I don't want it to be too skanky, but I would LOVE for it to be more unique than what you can find at Victoria's Secret, without costing me a fortune and a half.

Any input is GREATLY appreciated!!

I was actually going to do a thread about Wink B pics, because I participated in a B pic with them recently.  I signed up for emails to get the Wink B day long sessions (leanne does multiple bpics sessions in one day, so she cuts the prices down and includes a make up artist.)  I did a session to give the pics to my H for Vday, but had I been thinking, I would have saved it for the 1st anniversary for the "paper" anniversary.

Anyway, Leanne was completely professional, I am very happy with a lot of the shots, and I would totally recommend Wink B pics.  PM if you want a link to PG pics.
