Love may be blind as Shakespeare told us on many occasions but to create that love in the first place surely you need to start somewhere – and wearing lingerie makes the process of falling in love a lot easier for some people. 🙂

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE INVESTMENT YOU MAKE IN YOURSELFYour private and personal experience with us includes a pampering session for fabulous hair and make up.This will really help to relax you and get you in the mood to be photographed knowing you look and feel gorgeous.

You’ll then be treated to a fun photographic session with wardrobe changes and full direction right down to your fingertips.

A week or so later you’ll return to view all the edited images and then you’ll really see just how beautiful you are.

We also offer many beautiful and quality ways to display your photos, including gorgeous wall art prints, fine art albums (available in many luxury covers), and metallic prints, as well as the digital negatives.

Truly bespoke end to end service which will delight you for many decades everytime you see your pictures.

WHAT IS THE PERFECT BODY SHAPE FOR A WOMAN?

I bet you’ve thought about this. In fact, there’s a fair chance you think you don’t have the perfect body shape.

I don’t even know you and yet, I feel confident saying this because it’s based on many years of experience, photographing hundreds of women.

No matter how beautiful you look to everyone around you, the chances are, you’re not happy.

it’s nothing to do with weight either. the vast majority of women we see tell us they want to ‘loose a few pounds’ but the worst, most critical, are those women with stick thin ‘model’ looks.

So , is there really a perfect body shape? is it more Kate Moss or Marilyn Monroe? Does the ‘perfect bodyshape’ change over time?

“Fantastic day from start to finish. Dave and Jayne made me feel and look fabulous. 3rd time on a photo shoot with Dave and can’t recommend highly enough. So many wonderful comments about my pictures add to the experience. Quite empowering!” … Nicola

A Bridal Boudoir experience is a way to celebrate the remarkable woman you are. You’ve worked hard to become her, to embrace her and you deserve this amazing experience. After all – You are the irresistible reason your partner put a ring on it in the first place!

This article will give you plenty of ideas what to wear for your bridal boudoir photoshoot… We’ve got you covered.

So, how much are you worth investing in?

Not very much or do you feel you’re worth it?

Some years ago we set up a new studio in Leeds and decided it would be a good idea to advertise on Groupon and Wowcher to attract some new clients.

We noticed something interesting. People love a bargain. Of course that’s not new, but the levels people will sell themselves to get a bargain surprised us. We had women turn up with raggedy non matching underwear, strip off in front of total strangers, do the poses and walk away with their flimsy free paper print. (They didn’t get a choice of print either. We chose the print and it was always a portrait with our branding on as stipulated in the Groupon conditions. ) Of course many people didn’t have the money to purchase finished albums or wall art and we were left wondering why these women booked the photoshoot in the first place. Why would any woman take their clothes off and go through this experience without any real input or investment from their end? …

A little fashion and a little Boudoir is what we do…This is one of the things that make a Madison Bou Experience so unique and very different to 90% of other studios.

We don’t have time constraints.

We allow ourselves the time to create a wide range of different images of you looking amazing.

We don’t have to stick to the normal ‘rules’ of Boudoir. We don’t stay in the bedroom. We have fun outdoors. We play with dresses and fashion, we do anything our clients want to do.

No Rules.

A Madison Bou Glam Photoshoot Experience can turn any women who lacks confidence into a woman feeling empowered and full of confidence.

This is what our clients tell us time and time again. (Read our facebook reviews HERE )

We believe every woman is perfecly imperfect. That means, every woman is perfect exactly as they are.

We all need to embrace who we are right now, regardless of whether we think we need to lose a few pounds, or hate the shape of our nose or crows feet or love handles.

Think of all you’ve overcome in your life and celebrate your achievements.

Perhaps you’ve beaten cancer, given birth to twins, overcome an abusive relationship, whatever you’ve been through, whatever struggles you’ve had, we hope that a Madison Bou Glam Photoshoot Experience will re-energise you. This is why we do what we do. It’s also why most of our clients are over 35. We can relate to the everyday struggles of being parents, exhaustive busy lives, the traumas of losing close family members, divorce and break ups. Whatever you throw at us, we can empathise and it’s what allows us to connect with our clients and ultimately get better pictures through this connection.

A Madison Bou Glam Experience is all about gifting yourself that special “It’s about ME time” … because you’re worth it.

Ab example of burlesque photography styles with performer honey Ryder. She has returned for more pictures to regain some confidence after a long period of lockdown. Her first shoot was a bridal boudoir gift for her husband but this one is more about what she does on stage.

Boudoir at 50? Why not? There is no age limit to feeling gorgeous and we can prove it. At Madison Bou, Boudoir truly has no age limits - Frank Kaiser is a journalist who writes and syndicates a column entitled, Suddenly Senior, and one of his most often quoted pieces sums up the aging process pretty well. It serves as a wonderful tribute to our clients, many of whom are in their 40s and 50s…. Please excuse the Americanisms…

claire said “David and the hair and makeup lady Cheryl made me feel comfortable from the first moment, right up until I left the shoot. Not once did I feel self conscious, embarrassed, uncomfortable or unsafe. We laughed, larked around and kept the dialogue going constantly. I was a little sad when it was over if I’m quite honest! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the day and wouldn’t hesitate to do it all over again for my next milestone.”

Our clients come to us for a Boudoir Photoshoot for so many different reasons.

Empowerment is one. They want to feel like they’re taking control of their life again, perhaps after many years of looking after the family and feeling like a second class citizen. Investing in a Boudoir Photoshoot is a way of feeling empowered.

Maybe they’ve been in a troubled relationship and now have found the strength to do something just for themselves.

Dieting and body issues, that’s another big reason to experience a boudoir photoshoot. Some of our clients come to show off a new figure that’s reached it’s target weight. Others want to overcome body issues, maybe after illness or childbirth.

Overcoming this fear is a big reason for coming to us.

We have many years of experience helping people overcome any insecurities they may have.

looking and feeling confident during your boudoir session has nothing to do with how you think of yourself.

Confidence is a mind set and you can do a few things to gain confidence even before you arrive for your special day with us.

Firstly, know that you’re in safe hands. We are professionals. We’ve done this many, many times before. Like an experienced heart surgeon who specialises in hearts, we have had nearly two decades experience specialising in photographing boudoir. This means we know how to pose you, whatever your body shape. We know how to relax and calm you to the point that you look comfortable in front of the camera. An essential skill for an experienced boudoir photographer.

It’s no secret that guys are all about the bum, the booty, the butt… Call it what you will. The perfect butt is achievable by all.

If we had a penny for every time a woman asks us to show off their booty in pictures because their guy loves it… We’d be millionaires!

You really don’t have to be a ‘Love Island’ contestant either. Every woman can look great. In fact, the women who come to us are never that confident about their bodies. They really just don’t understand the power of the perfect butt. When photographed from the right angle, anyone’s booty can look BANGING!

Here are some classic boudoir poses to flatter every booty type and allow you to have the perfect butt.

(Watch and learn so your booty can be banging too!) 

One of the questions we get asked most often is – “Do I have to wear lingerie or get naked?” - Absolutely NOT

It is entirely and only your choice.

Please, remember that whatever your initial thoughts are, you can always change your mind during the photo shoot.

We suggest you to keep an open mind and see how you feel during the session.

A Madison Bou Photoshoot Experience is all about Empowerment.

Had a fab time at my shoot and absolutely love my art work, I would certainly recommend anyone wanting to create timeless memories with this team and wish them all the success they deserve in the industry

Thanks guys! xx

We want you to have printed products and care little for digitals because when all the digital options have either become obsolete or changed to another incompatible medium, where will you be able to view your pictures in your old age? What will you be able to hand down to your kids?

Almost everyday we get approached by girls desperate to be models.

Naturally they believe that they’re so good looking and talented that we would absolutely be desperate to photograph them for free and give them all the images. Why wouldn’t we?

Modelling, after all, is pretty easy, right?

Just be beautiful and pose for the camera and …. well, that’s it. that’s how to make the big bucks. Kate Moss did it. How hard can it be?

Oh, if only life were that simple…
