Hi girls

I just have to tell someone!!!!! Im getting my boudoir pictures done with Nicola on Wednesday - 2 days away!!! Booked it way back in October (thanks to the recommendations on this forum) it was originally booked for January but we postponed due to all the snow and now its finally here.

Have been really good since with my diet and excercise so hopefully it will all be worth it, will be heading straight to McDonalds on way home for a Big Mac!!! Wedding in 40 days!!!!

woo hoo! Good luck! I had mine done last year with Nicola, she's awesome, can't believe I could ever look that good - don't know how she does it but that girl is a miracle worker!

Let us know how you get on!

wow I've just been looking at her site, I have to say she is the most impressive I have come accross!

Can I ask what packages you all went for? I'm already on a really tight budget but I wonder if the cheapest option is really worth it or if I should try and save a little more and opt for the £260 (I think that was the price) option?

Can anyone give more details about the day? What actually happens, that's probably a really silly question, but I imagine I'd be quite shy in that sort of scenario!

Thanks x x

I had mine done last year with nicola, I am soooo impressed with my photos, I have 50 days till my wedding so I can show the h2b.

Catherine 3 - I thought I would be totally terrified but after the first photoI calmed down and did really enjoy it! I would recommend getting the full package, my hair and makeup was just amazing and made mefeel very glam, really worth paying the extra if you can, if not have a practice with your hair and makeup and remember you will need more makeup than normal coz of the camera and lights etc.

Catherine_3 - I went for the Studio 1 with Make-Over added, (bout £100 extra and well worth it!). You can add the make-over onto other packages too. Basically you turn up, have a fabby make-over pampering for 2 hours and then start your shoot with Nicola. She runs through the stuff you've brought with you and what will look best and then she totally directs you in every pose. I was dead worried about this part, I imagined i'd have to supply the fancy poses but she just told me exactly what to do and how to pose my arms and head etc. I was also very nervous (shaking actually!) but I calmed down a lot during the make-over and Nicola was so friendly and down-to-earth that I soon forgot I was wondering around half naked!

Yay! I did it!! It was a great experience. Took me 2.5 hours to get there, i was quite stressed at first as my h2b almost rumbled me the night before as i was trying to pack my things, shave legs etc!!

Nicola is lovely, Michelle did my hair and make-up she is lovely too, I took my clip-in hair extensions which Michelle put in for me and curled them, I was a bit shocked when i saw myself after the make over its all about what works on camera though.

Nicola directs all the poses and its very easy not at all weird or uncomfortable like i thought it would be. I cant wait to see them!! have to wait a week its normally less but Nicola is going away for a few days.

Thanks for recommending this to me girls xxxxx

Forgot to say i had the deluxe package, i booked it last year so i got last years price, think its gone up now.

My only concern today is that my hair will look funny, it wasn't styled how i would normally have it, im worried the extensions will look fake and too long, wish i had had them trimmed beforehand now. Eeek the waiting will be hard!! Did anyone else worry about hair and make-up before they saw the pictures??

Hi ecstaticbride2b, glad you had a good time, don't worry about your hair sure it will look fab. What do you mean about been shoicked when you saw yourself do they put on alot of make up for the cameras?

Hi exstaticbride, I thought that bout my make-over too - that it looked so different to
How I normally have it, but they explained bout the lights and editing
And how it can wash you out if you don't have a strong make-up, this was true actually
As on my photos it didn't look half as strong as I thought it would. Did you have your hair curly?
I did and it looked amazing! I normally wear it loose and a bit floppy to one
Side but the curls looked amazing on the photos - in fact I've worn it like that loads since and now
Its my fave style!

Hi ecstaticbride2b. I've spent ages trying to decide where to go for a boudoir session and hadn't heard of Nicola until I say your post today. Her pictures look absolutely stunning! There's just something about them that impressed me more than any of the other sites I've looked at.

So if you tell me your name, I'll let them know when I book a slot that you recommended them and you will get an extra picture free! And so will I - hooray! I can't see a way to send you a personal message - do you mind writing your name on here?

Edit - I've just added the email me button so you can send me your name...

    I am going to get a hoodie with my married name and the date of our wedding to wear the day after we get married. My H2B wants one too but is not sure what to put on his.
