Ok so Brad and I were fortunate enough to win Amanda Picone's free photo shoot contest. We can have a post wedding shoot, trash the dress shoot or I can do a boudoir shoot. I am very unsure of what to do! Here is my thinking...

I would LOVE to do a trash the dress shoot but I dnt want to ruin my dress. I know i could buy a cheap one but then that is defeating the purpose of winning a free shoot in my cheap mind lol. I dont have th emoney to buy anything extra. Cheap, or not cheap...thats how it is.

Brad doesn't want to take anymore pictures. I am sure I can convince him or just TELL him this is what we are doing if we decide to do a post wedding shoot. I think this is a ncie idea because its more wedding pictures and they are of the two of us and could actually be displayed. I figure we could take them in a different setting than our reg pictures and who knows maybe we will get even better pics!

Brad wants me to do the boudoir shoot. I said do you want this because you dont want to take pictures or because you actually want them? He said he actually wants them. My fear is that they will be terrible. Im so uncomfortable with my body and embarassed that I don't even know how it will work otu! I also have to go and buy lots of nice undies and things which could get a bit pricey and i also have to pay for a location to do the shoot. Id love to do this for him if it is something that he really wants, but im just worried that they won't be great.

What would you ladies do??

I chose the b-pics because your fh said he would really like them.. With that being said, I have never felt 'sexy' and I think I would feel ridiculous taking pics like that!!! I really want to do trash the dress with a $99 Davids Bridal dress but you are right, it does defeat the purpose of iwnnign a free photo shoot.

If you want to do the b-pics but the ONLY thing keeping you from doing it is not feeling 'sexy' then I say you should just do it. You are a beautiful girl and obviously your fh really wants the pics! If you are THAT uncomfortable/really want the trash the dress pics then I would say go for that... I get really bad anxiety and in 90% of my NORMAL pictures you can see discomfort all over my face.. If I had to take b-pics they would come out terrible because you would see a dear in the headlights look in every pic!
