The Perfect Valentine’s Day Gift Idea for Your Groom

Ladies, I know the idea of a boudoir session can be intimidating—I felt the same way. But thankfully I overcame my shyness and did a quick session on my wedding day before meeting my groom. And you know what? It made for THE sweetest (and sexiest) gift for my Mr. the following Valentine’s Day. Case in point? These alluring images from Lisa Blume, styled by Atrendy Wedding with beautiful blooms from Holly Heider Chapple. Let the full gallery convince you even more.

As much as we spend winter anticipating the new life of spring, a bride spends her morning anticipating the coming union with her groom. Years of dreaming, months of planning, the moment is finally almost here. Giving of yourself to someone for the rest of your life. That eager anticipation yet calm assurance was our inspiration for this shoot, shot in the gorgeous Goodstone Inn. Rather than designing details and props, we focused on the bride. Simple. Sensual. Natural. The greens in the room and the ivy outside inspired a neutral color palette. Soft lighting added a sense of elegance and grace. We chose lingerie and accessories that didn’t distract but enhanced the bride’s natural beauty and blended in to her surroundings.
