4 ways to use roses in your next Boudoir Shoot

Updated: Jan 18, 2024

If you love flowers, red roses are the obvious choice for a boudoir shoot and I've incorporated them in quite a few ways over the past few years! Read on for some ideas for your next shoot


Rose-Petal Adorned Bed:

Laying whole roses out is beautiful but be careful of the spikes!!! Petals can be just as effective or in this case below I used a set of feather wings as a barrier between my client and the thorns! You can hold the flowers, put your arms into them or toss them in the air.

Rose Bouquet as a Prop:

In these images we used flowers as underwear to cover intimate areas which works really well and smells gorgeous too!

Rose-Infused Bath or Shower Scenes:

This was one of my favourite shoots from 2023, a rose petal bath with milk, it was so gorgeous and we put some essential oils in the bath so my client had lovely soft smelling skin when she got out- win win! I've actually written a whole post about this on my blog a few posts back if this is a shoot you're interested in!

Holding a single rose

You don't need to do anything too fancy, holding a single rose and rubbing the petals against lips, neck and body parts is fun and sexy while being delicate and pretty.

hi! I'm cat and i am a full time wedding photographer
(and a little bit of a photography geek!)
 
I started taking photos as a teenager, my Dad was a wedding photographer and I would often help him. In 2021 I left my corporate job with a dream and hope that I could make photography a full time job. Since then I have been pouring my heart and soul into this business and have been honoured to be chosen as wedding photographer for so many lovely couples as well as being a portrait and event photographer.  
​
I TAKE CLASSIC, TIMELESS, DOCUMENTARY STYLE PHOTOGRAPHS WITH MINIMAL INTRUSION

 

But I will step in and offer gentle guidance when it's right to do so, I have learned over the years to read the room, anticipate the next move, hold space when needed and offer support when I can.

​

aRE YOU LOOKING FOR A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
When choosing a wedding photographer, consider their style, experience, portfolio, and reviews from previous clients. It's also important to discuss pricing, availability, and any specific requests you may have.
 
Don't forget to meet with them in person to ensure you have good chemistry and feel comfortable with their approach.
​

Once you have narrowed down your list of potential wedding photographers, it's a good idea to ask them some key questions to help you make your final decision.

 

Here are a few questions to consider:

  • What is your photography style? Do you prefer a more traditional approach or a more candid, documentary style?

  • Do you have experience with weddings of a similar size and style to mine?

  • Can I see a full gallery of a recent wedding you photographed? This will give you a better sense of their consistency and quality of work.

  • Do you have backup equipment in case something goes wrong on the day of the wedding?

  • How do you handle difficult lighting situations (e.g. low light, harsh sunlight, indoor vs. outdoor)? This will help you gauge their technical expertise.

  • What is included in your packages? Are there any additional fees I should be aware of (e.g. travel, overtime)?

  • How long will it take to receive my photos after the wedding? Will they be edited and retouched?

  • Can you accommodate any special requests I have (e.g. specific shots, family portraits)?

  • How do you ensure that you capture all of the important moments on the day of the wedding?

​

By asking these questions and having an open and honest conversation with your wedding photographer, you can ensure that you find the right fit for your big day.
