Hello Lovely Bees,
I need your help! I’m planning on shooting a romantic-looking boudoir shoot and am hoping to find a nice hotel to shoot in. If you know the OC/LA area or have stayed in any hotel that you think has a nice setting already (ie. furniture, curtains, walls, backdrop) please share 🙂 I would be ever so grateful!
I am not looking to spend a fortune, maybe around $125/$150 a night.

The Oviatt Penthouse http://www.Oviatt.com is a wonderful vintage venue for a boudoir photo session.

$150 is a hard budget to find good decor with these days, but if you try a weekday that might help? $200-250 could definitely happen. La Valencia in Oceanside is a cool vintagey hotel (unless they’ve renovated since I was there 5 yrs ago..) The Madonna Inn would be rad if you could go up to San Luis Obispo. The Redbury in Hollywood is incredible… Maison140 in Beverly Hills has decent prices too.

@TiffanyJen: Are you still looking for a place to have a boudoir shoot? I ask because I’m scheduling one for myself as well and the photographer’s studio looks (in photos anyway) super pretty (especially for a feminine/classy boudoir shoot) and just like a hotel room. I personally also thought her rates were pretty reasonable. I’m going with Rani Lu – http://www.boudoirbyranilu.com/

If you haven’t found a hotel yet, check out The Custom (it’s near LAX). Very mid-century modern.
I was able to get a half day rate ($89 for the delux king room) and they were lovely about giving me an early check in (noon).
