To all the girls in the world – have you heard about Boudoir?

This is something you all have to experience – I (Anna McDonald) had my first Boudoir shoot a few weeks ago and it was the best thing I have done in a long time – when they say life begins at 40 or 42ish it really does. My lovely photographer Kate Hopewell-Smith who specialises in wedding, portrait and family photography has been doing Boudoir for a few years now and oh my god she really knows how to make you feel like a women.
I went shopping for the most fabulous underwear I could find (some from Trish who owns Elegance in Thame, Oxfordshire) - with feather stoles, high heels, and the most amazing costume jewellery we had a field day. I had my hair and make-up done by the lovely and creative Cat Fransham who I recommend highly to all my brides
I was set to go, Kate had me lying on fur rugs, stretched across her chaise longue in positions quite unimaginable, boy I ached the next day. I have only one picture to show you the others are for my husbands eyes only. To me this is the best present you could give your boyfriend, fiancé or husband and something that you will treasure forever.
I have got an album in the shop of some pictures that Kate has put together showing boudoir or you can have a look on her website www.katehopewellsmith.com.
More and more brides from Anna McDonald Bridal Gallery are having Boudoir - enjoy xx
