I love nothing more than a boudoir shoot and I hope sharing styled editorials like today’s helps to show any of you considering booking one for yourself just how beautiful they can be when done right. All the way from Paris it is just perfect with its soft pastel shades, romantic florals and beautiful fine art…

It’s amazing how difficult it can be to find the perfect bridal shoes to carry you down the aisle, that it might seem like a good idea to just pick a pair without giving it a lot of thought. After all, no one will even see your shoes under your wedding dress, right? But take…

Venice isn’t only the most romantic city in the world, it is also the most incredible in terms of history and architecture!
