The truth about the Polaroid pictures for the groom trend… It’s not what you think.
The truth about the Polaroid pictures for the groom trend…
It’s not what you think.
I’ve seen brides try this trend… and I have some more exciting ideas for you.
I’m Alexandra Vince, a Boudoir Bride photographer, and for the last 24 years I’ve helped brides create unforgettable wedding gifts for their partners.
Here are 4 better ways to gift your spicy photos…
❤️ 1. The Night Before
Leave a beautifully wrapped album or photo box with a note that simply says, “Meet me at the altar.” Then leave. Let the anticipation do the work.
📱 2. The Digital Countdown
Send a few images throughout the wedding morning. Start flirty, build the excitement, and leave them wanting more.
📸 3. The Polaroid Twist
Don’t give away all the best shots. Gift a few Polaroid-style teaser prints on the morning of the wedding… then surprise them later with the full album.
🥂 4. My Favourite (and what I did)
Wait until you’re finally alone together after your wedding. Then give them your boudoir album in private.
No interruptions.
No audience.
Just the two of you.
For me, that made it so much more intimate and so much more memorable!!
✨ Save this for your wedding planning, and follow for more Boudoir Bride inspiration.

If I could give every bride one piece of advice, it would be this: Prioritise your body confidence.
If I could give every bride one piece of advice, it would be this:
Prioritise your body confidence. Because…
The longest relationship you’ll ever have is the one you have with yourself. How you see your body shapes how you feel about yourself every day.
Over the past 24 years, I’ve photographed hundreds of brides, and one thing has always stayed the same:
Women share their deepest insecurities about their bodies with me.
I’m not a therapist—I’m a bridal boudoir photographer—but I believe the experience I create is deeply therapeutic.
Every bridal boudoir experience has three stages.
First comes bravery. It takes courage to book the shoot and walk through my studio door.
Then comes vulnerability. Standing in lingerie in front of someone you’ve just met can feel intimidating. That’s why I guide you through every pose, helping you look and feel your very best.
Finally comes transformation.
When you see your photographs, something changes.
You stop focusing on flaws and start seeing your beauty.
You see yourself with kindness, confidence and appreciation.
I’ve witnessed this transformation countless times, and it’s why I love what I do.
Here’s what I want every bride to remember:
Body confidence isn’t about changing your body.
It’s about changing the way you see it.
Stop waiting to love yourself.
You don’t need a different body to feel beautiful.
You simply need a new perspective.
I’m Alexandra Vince, and for over 24 years I’ve helped brides discover their confidence while creating one of the most meaningful wedding gifts they’ll ever give.
All I need is two hours of your time around two months before your wedding.
You’ll leave with beautiful photographs—but more importantly, you’ll leave seeing yourself differently.
If you haven’t booked your bridal boudoir wedding gift creating experience yet, send me a message and I’ll send you my special bridal offer.

Most bridal boudoir photographers photograph you in lingerie. I photograph you in lingerie or tastefully nude, if that’s what you want.
Most boudoir photographers shoot in bedrooms. I shoot in my private pro studio.
Most boudoir photographers use daylight. I use studio lighting to sculpt your body.
Most boudoir photographers pose every client the same way. My poses are different and work for your body.
Most boudoir photographers rely on furniture. I rely on light, shape and your body.
Most boudoir photographers create pretty pictures. I create timeless artwork.
Most boudoir photographers show you your photographs weeks later. You’ll see yours the same week.
Most boudoir photographers photograph weddings, families and newborns too. I specialise in boudoir.
Most boudoir photographers have only been doing this a few years. I’ve been photographing boudoir since 2002.
Most boudoir photographers won’t use water, oil, powder or body paint. My studio is set up for all of that.
Most boudoir photographers have assistants in the room. It’s just you and me.m in the room.

🙏When we need help it’s so important to seek it out isn’t it.
🙏When we need help it’s so important to seek it out isn’t it. After my brother tragically died of alcoholism, I went to a therapist who advised me to go to see a reflexologist for 6 months. Since then I’ve been going to Emalee every month. Emalee has helped me massively to help me deal with my grief and anxiety. @emalee_reflexem #boudoirphotographer #fyeoportraits
🐝 The habits I’m building as a 52-year-old boudoir photographer might surprise you… For me, growing older isn’t about denying my age.
🐝 The habits I’m building as a 52-year-old boudoir photographer might surprise you…
For me, growing older isn’t about denying my age. Although some days I’d like to! These are a few of the habits I’m trying, to help me feel better…
Daily dry body brushing…
I absolutely love it. It’s become a mindful way to connect with my body and check in with every little part of it. My skin feels softer and smoother, and the lymphatic drainage benefits are a lovely bonus. I always do it before showering, then apply moisturiser to damp skin and let it dry naturally. I actually learned this little ritual years ago from one of my bridal clients, and I’ve never looked back.
Cheers Chia’s!
Adding chia seeds to almost everything!
Beetroot juice, porridge, yoghurt, smoothies, salads… you name it! They’re packed with goodness, supporting heart and brain health while helping to reduce inflammation. At this stage of life, I’m all for simple habits that make a difference.
❤️ Prioritising intimacy!
As our hormones change, it’s easy for intimacy to slip down the list. For me, it’s an important way to stay connected to myself and my partner. It makes me feel more alive, more present and, quite simply, happier.
✨ Doing things that scare me a little
This definitely doesn’t come naturally! Last night I went into London to a brilliant and empowering talk – Aging Disgracefully @TheIvy, with the utterly fabulous and glamorous @jodalton, @drtam and @emsayle333 I went on my own and met some incredible people and left wondering why I don’t do this more often. Sometimes the best things happen just outside your comfort zone.
Age really is just a number so they say… but feeling your best takes effort! Plus a lot of discipline and desire.
I’d love to know… what’s one habit that’s made a real difference to your life recently?
Love
