Two weeks after this picture was taken, I was back shooting brides.

Two weeks after this picture was taken, I was back shooting brides. Leaving my newborn son. That was tough.

Looking back I feel emotional about that.

But by the time my second child was born I had a team of female photographers to run the business so I could take time out to be with my baby.

Here’s the reason why I could do that.

I’d spotted a gap in the market for a scalable photography business – a female led portrait studio offering boudoir for brides to be. Helping them to create a wedding gift.

I knew I could run a business that delivered a sensitive, creative service that would make women feel comfortable and body confident in front of the camera.

I advertised in bridal and vogue magazines. Within a year, the business was booming.

The success and scalability of the business came down to the studio style, the confidentiality and the thoughtful, female led sensitive service.

Brides experienced my signature collection of flattering bridal poses, shot in a private studio at FYEO Portraits by a female photographer.

The poses they experienced were designed around the dynamic qualities of the feminine shape. Poses involved movement, twists, lifts, bends and stretches, to elevate and structure the body into the most flattering angles from each individual body shape. Whatever the brides shape or size.

With simple, stylish backdrops and artistic sculpted studio lighting, the brides body and the photography did the talking.

What I love most about my business is seeing the way it changes the way in which women see themselves.

Instead of brides focusing on the parts of their body they criticised, they see it with love, sometimes for the first time.

You can do the same. Come and see me, I need you for 2 hours, 2 months before your wedding to create the wedding gift, photos of you gift wrapped FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.

Two weeks after this picture I was out taking pictures again.

Two weeks after this picture I was out taking pictures again.

I often get asked how I got into bridal photography as a young mum.

I was just 25 when I started my photography business, with my first baby only two weeks old. He’s now 28! I had no maternity leave and worked evenings and weekends, which was tough. Looking back, I might have made different choices because my son needed me and I definitely missed him when I was away.

But I’d spotted a gap in the market for a female-led service that created beautiful, flattering and artistic portraits for brides. I felt my sensitivity and creative approach could make women feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

I advertised in bridal magazines and Vogue, and the response was huge. Within a year, I was employing other female photographers and the business was booming.

I think the success came from creating a signature collection of flattering poses designed around the feminine shape — movement, twists, lifts, bends and stretches, with simple sets and lighting that let the body and the photography do the talking.

What I loved most was seeing women change the way they saw themselves. Instead of focusing on the parts they criticised, they could see their whole shape differently and appreciate things they hadn’t noticed before.

After five years, I opened another studio in the UK. Being one of the first to pioneer boudoir photography also brought international press attention, which helped the business grow even further.

After 15 years of running multiple FYEO studios, I went through a divorce and eventually restructured the business back to its original location.

Today, I have two grown-up children, remarried at 49, and still run FYEO Portraits every day.

And honestly, if I was starting again, I wouldn’t do anything differently.

I love my business. I love helping women feel fabulous, and I still love the romance of helping brides create their secret wedding gift.

I’ve just finished my bridal boudoir photo shoot for the afternoon, and today my bride brought with her some bubblegum pink Maison Close lingerie, which is absolutely to die for!

She also brought with her a gorgeous Gossard corset with black stockings and that too looked amazing. She brought her wedding veil and her wedding shoes, and together we created a beautiful collection of portraits, stunning artistic shots, and some with her with nothing on as well.

There was a time when photographing brides in my boudoir studio was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.

There was a time when photographing brides in my boudoir studio was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.

Not because of the job…

But because I was going through my own divorce.

Every week, I was capturing women who were about to marry the love of their lives, while I was trying to come to terms with the end of mine.

Some days, it was heartbreaking.

But I’ve learned that our hardest seasons often shape us in ways we don’t realise at the time.

Looking back, I now wonder how many of those brides had also experienced heartbreak before finding the person they were about to marry.

Because life doesn’t always follow the path we imagined.

I was lucky enough to find love again, and I remarried at 49.

That’s why bridal boudoir means so much more to me today.

It’s not just about creating beautiful photographs.

It’s about celebrating confidence, resilience, and the courage to open your heart again.

Because sometimes, the greatest love story isn’t your first…

It’s the one that comes after you’ve learned how strong you really are.

Your scars don’t define you.

Your scars don’t define you. And they don’t have to be part of the story you see in your boudoir portraits.✨

Since I started shooting boudoir back in 2002, I’ve photographed women with all kinds of bodies and all kinds of journeys.

Boob jobs.
Tummy tucks.
Weight-loss surgery.
Mummy makeovers.
And the scars that can come with them.

And here’s what I want you to know:

You are not your scars.

If you’re conscious about them, there are so many ways I can work with lighting, shadows, posing and styling to soften their appearance or simply choose angles where they don’t feature at all.

But more importantly, I want you to feel seen, celebrated and beautiful exactly as you are. ❤️

Your body has a story. Your scars may be part of that story but they are not the whole story.

You deserve portraits that celebrate your uniqueness, your femininity and your fabulousness.

✨ Come as you are.
✨ Let me show you what I see.

I’m Alexandra Vince, boudoir photography expert, based near Marlow, just west of London.

And I’m here to help you feel amazing about your body and create a gift that only you can give.

Brides have been bringing in these garter belt stocking attachments to wear for their bridal boudoir shoots.

Brides have been bringing in these garter belt stocking attachments to wear for their bridal boudoir shoots. They’re so cool because you don’t have to be wearing a matching lingerie set on.

Put two hands into the toe of your stocking, and then pull the stocking up with the inside of your palms. Don’t make contact with your nails on those stockings; otherwise, you’ll snag them.

When you want to attach the stockings, if you’re here in the studio with me, I will help you to get those stocking attachments on because they can be quite tricky, especially if you’re wearing hold-ups.

These are hold-ups, so there’s rubber at the top of the stocking, which means that when you’re trying to push the inside of the stocking cloth down into the metal bit, which is basically what fastens it, it can just be a little bit tricky.

If we haven’t already met, I’m Alexandra Vince, boudoir photography expert. I’m going to help you create the wedding gift that only you can give.

Gorgeous portraits of you, perhaps with the wedding veil draped across your body.

I’ve been helping brides just like you for the last 24 years to feel more body confident as they create the wedding gift that only they can give, and you can do it too.

Come and see me.

I need you for just two hours, two months before your wedding day, to create your wedding gift.

Bring your wedding lingerie, heels, jewellery, and if you’ve got a wedding veil, bring that too.

I’ll see you soon.
