About gifting her to-be husband some racy pictures of herself

‘Trash the Dress’ is a style credited to Las Vegas wedding photographer John Michael Cooper. While Cooper has gone to extremes such as encouraging his brides to set themselves on http://www.homecomingdressesonsale.com  photographers in India are more sedate. “Most brides I’ve met don’t mind trashing their dresses. One bride let me shoot while she lay down by the shore where the water drenched her beautiful white dress,” says Goa-based photographer Edric George.

Bridal boudoir is for the adventurous. The photographer shoots the bride wearing sexy lingerie and the photographs are then gifted to the groom on the day of the wedding. Although this trend is yet to pick up in India, a few women are cautiously testing the waters. Mona Kalra (name changed) was extremely enthusiastic about gifting her to-be husband some racy pictures of herself. “I don’t have the perfect body but that didn’t matter. My photographer made me feel very comfortable and the pictures she took were beautiful and not vulgar,” she says.

It’s clear from the number of boudoir shoots photographers have done that the trend is picking up. Mumbai-based photographer Stuti Sakhalkar has executed several boudoir shoots for http://www.homecomingdressesonsale.com/short-homecoming-dresses-c-1.html  most of whom have been close friends. “It could be the association and because I am also a woman. There’s this level of trust not only with the body but also with the aesthetics,” she says.

Pre-wedding photography is not just restricted to the risqué and the destructive. When Priyam Datta and Punit Gandhi decided to tie the knot, they didn’t want their wedding memories to be ordinary so they got pre-wedding shoots done with everything they loved to do together — taking photographs, riding bikes and satiating themselves with good food.

Such shoots often works as a stress-buster for http://www.homecomingdressesonsale.com/juniors-homecoming-dresses-c-2.html  as preparing for a wedding usually takes a toll on them.

Sometimes, there’s an added advantage. Advertising professional Aditi Rungachary, who married earlier this year, says the pre-wedding shoot “was a great way to break the ice with the photographer” in the run-up to the wedding.
