“My whole experience with Dave and Sarah was wonderful! They were friendly and professional! My hair and makeup was beautiful and the photos were brilliant! Go to Madison Bou you will love it! Xxxx” … Iona

I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing experience I had on my photo shoot. From start to finish the whole day was full of fun and laughter and even before I had even had my make up done, Kym had made me feel at ease. They both made me feel confident enough to do the shots I wanted to and even looking back at the photos from the start of the day to the end, Dave had already taught me so much on how to get the best shots for me and have lots of variety in my poses. He gave plenty of advice and direction which was the main thing I worried about as I’m not a natural selfie taker or poser by any means! I can’t recommend it enough. I really think that everyone should do one in their lifetime and be made to feel special for the day. 😊 Thank you for helping me get my self confidence back

Here's an example of a wild and wacky photoshoot with crazy makeup which from time to time we love to do. Really push the boat out and experiment.

“This was the most amazing thing I have ever done. I felt so comfortable with Dave (even in my pants). The photos were fantastic and for the 1st time in years I felt like a women instead of just mum & wife.

After suffering years from eating disorders and having a new body shape which I couldn’t accept, the photos made me look at myself again and realising that I am beautiful no matter what size.

Thank you for that!!!”

What To Wear For A Boudoir Photoshoot - The Top Ten Essentials

Actually, not so much essentials as suggestions because we always say that even if you come with nothing to wear, we will still make you look amazing with a simple shirt, or some bedsheets, jeans and T’s but is you’re looking for some boudoir inspiration, here are ten items you should always pack in your bag for a Boudoir Photoshoot.

Here’s an example of a Madison Bou Photoshoot experience which includes a boudoir set in one of the beautiful suites within Hazlewood Castle.

This features the stunning headboard of the Hibiscus Suite. We love the opulence and colour. In the outer suite are the large window frames which work so well for the backlit, high key images.

We also created some great fashion style images outside the entrance to the hotel and in the courtyard and inside in our purpose built courtyard studio.

The weather was so lovely on the day that Holly decided she wanted to try some woodland nymph type shots of a more fine art nature so the day was perfect for this.

Rounding off, we took a short trip over the road to a dis-used petrol station which has a cool urban look with it’s graffiti and car wash and coke machine.

“I would recommend this to anyone who needs a boost. The entire experience from hair and make up by the lovely Cheryl who made me look better than I ever thought I could and was such lovely company, staying with me throughout – to feeling beautiful and special. Dave was thoughtful and encouraging during the whole shoot and the pictures were amazing. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to have this experience, it really was a wonderful day.” … Su
