Gold-Renaissance Inspired Bridal Boudoir in Tuscany

We rarely feature boudoir shoots on the blog, but this one from Tuscany really spoke to us. Enjoy!

“Echoing the immaculate, free-spirited mood of Spring, and channeling the portraiture of Boccaccio’s maiden-like femme- demure, affectionate, soft- we get caught up in an era-defining romantic vision: a delicate figure, shawled by an ethereal, embellished, sheer flowing maxi veil.

“Aside from a time to pause, between bridal routines and customs, and perhaps rollick with refinement in heavenly textures, boudoir photography is a sincere, gender fluid art. What is interesting, what singles it out, is not its conductivity to sensuality and passion, but how through its soft dynamics a woman perceives her own natural beauty, her character and eventually herself.”

Then, when I find a flower that seems

Like to the object of my dreams,

I gather it and kiss it there,

I flatter it in accents fair,

My heart outpour, my soul stoop down,

Then weave it in a fragrant crown

Among my flaxen locks to wear

— excerpt from Giovanni Boccaccio’s ‘Balleta

“We love to capture these moments when a bride realizes how spell-binding she actually is, and allows for her body, spirituality, and beauty-conscious personality to unfold. Bridal boudoir photography creates a new legacy for women to accept and love who they are, a gift of empowerment that does not spell coquette, but a woman who (thoughtful as she is of her beloved) dares to be her own open, gorgeous self.”
