Bridal boudoir photography.
The perfect wedding gift.
Arranging a boudoir photoshoot before your wedding, not only allows you to create a really personal gift for the person you love, but is also an incredible way to boost your confidence before the big day! It’s truly a gift for both of you.
“I was amazed at how fun and enjoyable the experience was despite the nerves. You both honestly made me feel so at ease! I couldn’t believe it was me. I have always nit picked and struggled with body confidence, but pushing myself a little out of my comfort zone and looking at the photos afterwards made me feel so much more confident in my skin!!” Georgia
Boost your self confidence.
Although they’re very excited for their wedding, many brides say they’re nervous about being the centre of attention on the day. Too many women struggle with their body confidence, even on their special day. How amazing would it be to see yourself through the eyes of your partner, realise how beautiful you are and feel confident in yourself on your wedding day?!
"It was worth the long wait of keeping this a secret for many months! He really can't stop looking through the photos, it's like his bedtime reading at the moment!
I really loved the whole experience and I know we will both cherish the album as we grow old and grey together." Molly
Thank you Martin Bell Photography for capturing Jake’s reaction on their wedding day.

when should i book my boudoir photoshoot?
Our frames and albums take up to 8 weeks to be printed and delivered, and we're often booked 3 months or so ahead, so it’s best to get in touch with us 6 months before the big day to schedule a photoshoot BUT we do occasionally have last minute appointments available, so it's always worth contacting us even if you're on a tight timescale!
"I was super nervous beforehand, to the point where I almost wanted to back out at the last minute.... but as soon as I walked in, it was honestly like I was chatting with my pals!
A wee pamper session getting my hair and makeup done really helped me relax too. Those last moments as I was getting into my first fit were intense. My heart was racing… Definitely recommend to anyone to take a minute and have a deep breath, walk out tall, and just go for it!" Rachael
do i need to wear bridal lingerie?
This is entirely up to you. We ask you to bring 3 or 4 lingerie outfits to your photoshoot, and many brides do choose for one of those looks to be traditionally bridal, but you certainly don’t have to wear a particular style or colour of lingerie to create a wedding gift. We’ll send you our style guide which is full of suggestions and we can also offer you second opinions and personal advice.
what is bridal lingerie?
Traditionally bridal lingerie is white, ivory or cream to coordinate with your wedding dress - but this is all about celebrating your personal style and wedding theme. This could be the underwear you will be wearing on your wedding day, but many brides wear plain seamless underwear etc to suit their dress, so you can always treat yourself to a bridal lingerie set that is just for your photoshoot (and the honeymoon!). You can also bring along accessories such as your wedding shoes, jewellery, your ‘getting ready’ robe, a garter or your wedding veil.
“It was so difficult to keep it a secret! James said he got quite emotional when he opened the album... he absolutely loved it!
I would definitely recommend any future bride to book a boudoir photoshoot with Foxlow! Aside from it being an amazing gift to your future husband or wife, it is a great confidence boost for yourself.” Verity
Thank you Matteo Crescentini for capturing James' reaction on their wedding day.
how can i personalise the images for my fiancé(e)?
There are endless possibilities here! You could borrowing a shirt or jacket from their wardrobe for a ‘Sunday morning’ look, include kinky accessories like handcuffs, wear something special they bought for you like jewellery or high heels, or bring along something to representing their hobby or career like a uniform, sports kit or musical instrument. Of course featuring your engagement ring is a simple yet fabulous idea too.
when should i give them my gift?
Traditionally a gift would be given in secret on the morning of the wedding, but there are so many options here! Some brides like to give their photos the night before, others when they return home after their honeymoon. Personally I love the idea of surprising them with the photos the morning after the wedding - that way you have something exciting to look forward to once all your guests have left and can share that moment, enjoying their reaction.
can we keep this a secret?
Absolutely! Your photos and experience with us are completely confidential unless you give us written permission to share them. We’re proud that so many of our clients do allow us to share their photos to inspire others, but it’s a very personal decision that you can make once you’ve seen your photos. Don’t worry, we can always wait until after the wedding to make sure we don't spoil the surprise!
"I’ve never been a confident person. Past childhood trauma of being bullied has always made me have little to no self worth.
But I’m about to get married to my best friend who has always tried to do his very best to make me feel desirable and this is something I felt I needed to do - something completely out of my comfort zone." Amy
