Bridal Boudoir San Diego
more than a photo session - a transformation
The most personal, empowering gift you’ll give yourself before you say “I do.” A luxury experience created entirely for you, by an all-female team who believes every bride deserves to feel extraordinary.
Bridal boudoir is an intimate photography experience created for you — the bride — in the weeks or days before your wedding. It is a space to slow down, turn inward, and celebrate your body, your femininity, and the extraordinary threshold you are standing on.
These sessions are personal, empowering, and deeply private. Whether you choose to gift a beautifully album to your partner on the morning of your wedding, or keep every image entirely for yourself, the experience belongs entirely to you.
My approach is warm, unhurried, and completely judgment-free. I’ve worked with women of every body type, age, and comfort level — from those who have never been in front of a professional camera to those who have done this before. Wherever you are starting from, you will leave feeling seen, celebrated, and radiant.
You deserve photographs that make you catch your breath — not just on your wedding day, but every time you look at them for the rest of your life.
six reasons to say YES to yourself
01 A GIFT LIKE NO OTHER
A hand-crafted album delivered to your partner on your wedding morning creates a moment they will never forget — and images they will treasure for a lifetime.
02 RECLAIM YOUR CONFIDENCE
Wedding planning can be exhausting and sometimes hard on your sense of self. A boudoir session is a powerful reminder of who you are and what you deserve to feel about your own body.
03 FREEZE THIS MOMENT IN TIME
You will never be this version of yourself again — newly engaged, wildly in love, on the edge of your next great chapter. These images capture that time for you forever.
04 A DAY JUST FOR YOU
Weddings are about everyone. Your boudoir session is the one moment in the entire season that is purely, completely, unapologetically yours.
05 ART YOU WILL KEEP FORVER
Beyond the wedding day, these images become heirlooms — beautiful reminders of your strength, your sensuality, and the love story you stepped into.
06 NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED
I guide every single pose. You never need to know what to do with your hands or how to hold your face — that is entirely my job, and I love doing it.

what to wear
You don’t need to go out and buy an entirely new wardrobe. Some of the most stunning bridal boudoir images are made with pieces already hanging in your closet — a silk slip, an oversized white shirt, your favorite lace. Here are a few starting points to inspire you. Check out my boudoir wardrobe guide.
Classic Bridal Picks
A white or ivory bridal lingerie set is always timeless. Think lace bralettes, corsets, or a satin bodysuit. Pair with your veil for something truly iconic — there is nothing more bridal than your veil and nothing else.
A silk or satin robe in blush, ivory, or champagne adds movement and softness to your images. A pearl or crystal hair piece can evoke the wedding day feeling without being literal about it.
Personal & Unexpected
An oversized white button-down shirt — barely buttoned — is one of the most effortlessly beautiful looks in boudoir photography. Add your partner’s watch or ring for an intimate personal detail that tells your story.
Body jewellery, statement earrings, your wedding shoes, a vintage slip — anything that feels like you is perfect. Bring options and we’ll make decisions together during your consultation.
your session step by step
Bridal Boudoir San Diego | the experience
1 | YOUR COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION
We start with a relaxed, no-pressure conversation — by phone, video, or in person at our Carlsbad studio. I get to know you: your vision, your comfort level, your body confidence goals, and the story you want your images to tell. This is also where we walk through wardrobe ideas, session timing, and answer every question you have. Nothing is too small, too personal, or too silly to ask.2 | PERSONALIZED PRE-SESSION STYLING GUIDE
Before your session, I send you our exclusive bridal styling guide — with recommendations for lingerie, robes, accessories, and personal pieces that photograph beautifully. You’ll also get access to our 100+ piece studio wardrobe, so if you don’t want to shop, you don’t have to. Many brides incorporate their veil, wedding shoes, bridal jewellery, or a silk robe into their session to create images that feel truly, unmistakably bridal.3 | PROFESSIONAL HAIR AND MAKEUP WITH MY STYLIST
You arrive at my private Carlsbad studio and are immediately in the hands of our expert hair and makeup artists, who specialise in creating looks that feel elevated, elegant, and photograph flawlessly. This isn’t just about looking good in your images — it’s about being camera-ready and feeling like the most beautiful version of yourself before a single frame is taken.4 | YOUR SESSION – GUIDED, EMPOWERED, CELEBRATED
With music playing and the studio entirely yours, we move through a series of wardrobe looks and carefully guided poses at your pace. There is no rushing here. I’ll coach you every movement — where to look, how to breathe, when to laugh — so you’re never left wondering what to do. Most sessions run about 2 hours, and by the end, even the most camera-shy brides are completely in their element, glowing with confidence they didn’t know they had.5 | SAME DAY IMAGE REVEAL
Right after your session — we sit down together for your same-day image reveal. You’ll see your raw, unedited images for the very first time on a large screen, exactly as they were captured. No retouching, no filters — just you, beautifully and honestly photographed. This is the moment our brides fall completely in love with themselves. It is raw, real, and absolutely unforgettable. From there, you’ll choose your favourite images and select your art products — Italian hand-crafted albums, fine art wall prints, intimate digital collections, and keepsake boxes — while the emotion of the session is still alive in the room.6 | DELIVERY OF YOUR FINISHED, RETOUCHED ARTWORK
Once you’ve chosen your images, I begin the full retouching process — transforming your already-beautiful raw captures into polished, timeless fine art. Physical artwork — Italian hand-crafted albums, fine art prints, and keepsake boxes — is delivered within six to eight weeks, wrapped beautifully and ready to gift. Your digital gallery arrives in a private, password-protected link within 2 weeks. We coordinate carefully with your wedding timeline so if you’re gifting an album to your partner, everything arrives perfectly on time. Your images are always, completely yours alone — never shared or published without your explicit written consent.

Bridal Boudoir San Diego | FAQ
your questions answered
We know a bridal boudoir session can feel like a leap. Here are the questions we hear most often from brides just like you — answered honestly, warmly, and without any sales pressure.
Do I need to be a certain size or shape?
Not even slightly. Bridal boudoir is for every body — every size, every shape, every age. The women you see in our portfolio are not models. They are real women, just like you. Our job is to find the angles, the light, and the moments that make you look and feel extraordinary. We have done this for hundreds of women, and we have never once met someone who didn’t leave feeling incredible.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking eight to ten weeks before your wedding date. Your image reveal and ordering session happen on the same day as your shoot, so there’s no waiting — you choose your artwork while the emotion is still fresh. Physical products then take six to eight weeks to hand-craft and deliver. Peak wedding season books quickly — so if your date is coming up, please reach out as soon as possible. We sometimes have short-notice availability, so even if your wedding is weeks away, it’s always worth asking.
Will anyone else see my images?
I'm nervous and have no idea how to pose — is that okay?
It is completely okay — and incredibly common. Most of our clients have never done anything like this before. Within fifteen minutes of starting, that nervous energy almost always transforms into confidence, laughter, and genuine ease. We guide every single movement: where your hands go, how to angle your body, when to look at the camera, when to look away. You don’t need to bring anything except yourself and a willingness to have fun.
What level of undress is expected?
Bridal boudoir is intimate, not explicit — and the level of undress is always, entirely, your choice. Some women are most comfortable staying in lingerie throughout. Others prefer to incorporate more skin. There is no right or wrong. We never push further than you want to go, and you remain in complete control at every moment of your session. Our studio is private, our team is all-female, and your comfort is our highest priority.
