This romantic, Parisian-inspired bridal boudoir shoot taken in the heart of Chicago will forever be a favorite of mine.

Miss C was an absolute dream to photograph. Her boudoir photos turned out so luminous, soft and feminine. They have such a radiant, timeless quality to them.

She was generous to allow me to publish the majority of her photos and I’ll be forever grateful! It was nearly impossible to narrow her photos down to just a few favorites because I love them all so much. Here are a few to start. 🙂

Oh, and if you adore her black bodysuit as much as me, you can still find it for sale online here.

A Romantic Bridal Boudoir in Chicago

DL Loft, Chicago

This natural beauty came into her bridal boudoir shoot with a quiet confidence about her.

Going into the session, C worried about possibly feeling awkward, a totally common fear. But after all was said and done she said “You were quite the opposite of what I feared! I felt eased by the fact that we laughed about how this is such a unique experience and to not take it too seriously – just have fun.”

C’s photos exuded romance and softness and I’m excited to share a few highlights with you. A huge thank you to Joanna B Artistry for being the on-site glam squad for this lovely lady. You are magic.

This soft, creamy sweater was a lovely addition to her wardrobe.

I mean, can we talk about this smize!?

Miss C’s Bridal Boudoir Album

I loved that Miss C went with an ethereal sage green bridal boudoir album. Her photos were so luminous, romantic and chic and I think the feminine color here works wonderfully. While I know most people think black for boudoir, any color goes!

This is the Matted Album from my product line. It’s a timeless, classic boudoir album option that will never go out of style!
