1: The way fabric moves and drapes over your body.
Silky fabrics have a beautiful way of following your curves and creating flattering shapes and silhouettes. It looks incredibly feminine, elegant and artistic.
To create movement, I use my studio favourite wind tunnel, ‘Beyoncé!’, combined with directing you into the pose.
One of the first bridal boudoir shoots I photographed involved a client who brought a beautiful, silky gown. As she posed, she allowed the fabric to fall slightly lower behind her.
The way the light caught her silhouette was incredible.
And that’s something I’ve continued to incorporate throughout my 24 years as a bridal photographer.
Whether the fabric is draped around your body, flowing behind you, or caught in the movement of a pose, it can create photographs that feel almost like works of art.
2: You don’t need to buy anything special.
Your wedding veil can be absolutely stunning in these photographs.
Hold it behind you, sweep it to the side, let it fall around you, or use it to create movement and shape.
And if you want to have a little more fun, you can add coloured fabric to your package.
Imagine bubblegum pink, rich gold, soft champagne or your favourite colour!
Black silk can look incredibly dramatic too.
3: Fabric gives your photographs a real fashion and artistic edge.
There’s something timeless about fabric and the human form.
If you look at classical paintings throughout history, you’ll often see the figure surrounded by beautifully draped fabric creating movement, shape, light and emotion.
Then, on your wedding day, you gift those photographs to your partner with a little note saying:
“Meet me at the altar.”
