Has anyone on here done their own shots at all? I have a camera and a tripod and am okay with the kit. Just wondered if anyone had had any success with doing it this way at all?
Thanks
DIY Boudoir Photos??

I'd love to give me H2B a book of boudoir pictures on the morning of the wedding (especially after reading everyone's comments on here about how fab theirs have turned out) but my pennies are somewhat none existent as we get closer to the wedding.

I know nobody has replied to this message but I know lots of you have had a look - just wanted to let you know I had a play around with this over the weekend and it is definitely possible to do yourself.
It took an awful lot of patience trying to get the shots right but I got there in the end - great idea for all of you that like the idea but just don't have the pennies for a proper shoot

You should definitely go for it! I bought myself a cheap tripod for £12 but after doing a bit of digging around on the internet I know people have used ironing boards etc to put their camera on.
I googled a load of boudoir sites and made a note of some of the poses/outfits etc and got loads of ideas.
Really happy with some of the shots I got (even if it did take a while to get them!)
Knew it was something I wanted to do for H2B but by the time it got round to booking it my pennies had all just gone.

i did it for a friend as i have the camera stuff but also the photoshop programs to do all the retouching - if you want to diy it, and know your way around p'shop, it's a doddle!!
I think it's a great idea, especially for people who are confident with doing their own styling hair & make-up etc.
It's something i've been considering too as we're really trying to keep the wedding budget in check. The only thing that concerned me would be the lack of the gorgeous backgrounds and sets that you have access to on the professional shoots, how did you get around that?x x

A lot of the backgrounds are either just walls/windows/mirrors etc so there are ways around.
I used a large mirror to get some shots, took some with the light from the window coming through etc. Also, for all the ones with white sheets etc, I just took off the bedding on the bed and laid out a white sheet.
I had ordered some plain black material to use as a back drop (dirt cheap from ebay) but it didn't arrive in time.

Im definately doing this. My friend and I are getting married on the same day (both abroad), so we are goin to do each others!! I have read up on diy shoots and there are loads of tips etc online!! Someting i will def keep in mind is props. Does you H2B have a particular hobby/interest, try bringin this into your shoot to make it more personal. My partner is a limo driver so guess where im goin!!! lol
Also you can use a large mirror to reflect some light onto your face, body or where ever !
Will take some time but very very possible, have fun too
