Bump! I know you're out there - other boudoir brides, what did you pay for your session?
I've been pricing it here in San Diego recently and $400 is on the lower end here - so honestly, that sounds about right (esp if you want GREAT pics!).
I'm in the Sacramento area, and I'm paying $300 for the sitting, plus airfare (we're headed down to a private beach!), hotel, and car rental. The most that the album is going to cost me is $650 if I go with the 30 page 8x8. Because this is something that my photographer has always wanted to do, she isn't charging me for travel fees (bless her heart!).
How did you find your photogs for it? Did they advertise that they take boudoirs or did you just ask them? I can't find any in the Spokane area and I really want to get it done.
I'm in the Orlando area, and it's about that here too. I was hoping to be able to do a session, but I don't really have that much to spend.. One I found was like $650 for a session but only included 4 prints, an online gallery and hair and makeup!
I am paying $800 for 2 hours and an album.. so $400 sounds good... but this photographer is seriously an artist.. i am doing at her old farm house that she renovated.. she has all these rooms of fabulous furniture.. this is way more than what i wanted to spend.. but as soon as i saw her work i knew that i just had to make it work!! peanut butter sandwiches for a while now.. haha
I paid $600 for 2 hours and as many changes as I wanted. I got an album with 20 pictures. Definetly more expensive that yours!
Soooo much depends on the photographer. I've seen some stunning work, and I've seen blown-out flashed pics of a woman with a fake rose between her--ahem--bosoms. I'd pay a fortune for the first; you couldn't pay me enough to be in the latter.
For someone doing a very good job, there can be a lot more editing with boudoir pics--stretch marks, cellulite, air brushing, general slimming techniques, etc. Those types of touch-ups can take a long time--certainly much more time-intensive than engagement pics, etc.
That sounds like a fair price; again, though, so much depends on the photographer! Good luck!
Yeah, now that I see all of your prices, I'm realizing that the $400 is pretty reasonable. It costs an extra $350 minimum for an album, which gets WAY out of my budget, but I think I could put together something pretty nice myself on the cheap. This photographer does really classy images - she shoots at her home and has an awesome barn where she does some cool outdoor shots.
I just might go for it now that I know $400 isn't out of control expensive...thanks for all your input!

Bees who are doing a boudoir session for a wedding gift - how much are you paying? I've received a quote from a local photog for $400 (thats for a 2 hour sitting, image touch-ups, and a CD of images - doesn't include prints or an album.) I didn't really want to spend that much, but I just don't know if its realistic to find a better price. What are you paying, and what does it get you? Thanks!
