Bridal boudoir, thoughtfully created to celebrate YOU during your wedding season.

Choosing to do a bridal boudoir session is a quiet, intentional act — one that’s just for you. It’s about slowing down in the middle of wedding planning, reconnecting with yourself, and honoring the woman you are before the dress, the vows, and the day unfold.

As a photographer, and as a woman who has worked with brides in every season of life, I’ve seen how easy it is to overlook your own beauty during this season. My role is to guide you through an experience that feels calm, comfortable, and completely supportive — no pressure, no expectations, and no need to know how to pose.

Bridal boudoir is not about fitting a mold. It’s not about being overly sexy or performing for the camera. It can be soft, romantic, confident, playful, or deeply intimate — and it can be tailored entirely to you. Whether that means lace and natural light, a veil and bare feet, or even stepping outside for something a little unexpected, your session is designed around your vision.

This experience is about seeing yourself with fresh eyes. Feeling confident in your own skin. Creating something meaningful during your wedding season — and yes, it also makes an unforgettable gift for your partner.

My studio is a warm, welcoming space where you can relax, feel at ease, and simply be yourself. I’ll guide you every step of the way, so you never feel awkward or unsure. This is your time to feel beautiful, supported, and fully present.

Meet Monica

I’m Monica, a Brazilian-born wedding and bridal boudoir photographer based in NYC. For years, I’ve worked closely with brides during some of the most emotional and meaningful moments of their lives.

Because I photograph weddings, I understand this season intimately — the excitement, the pressure, the vulnerability, and the desire to feel your absolute best. That experience shapes how I approach bridal boudoir: with confidence, intention, and a deep understanding of what brides need to feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera.

I love helping women feel confident and beautiful, not by changing who they are, but by capturing them with honesty, care, and experience. Bridal boudoir is simply another way I support my brides during their wedding journey.

I can’t wait to create something special with you.

An empowering experience and a timeless gift for your partner.

Three ways bridal boudoir becomes a meaningful part of your wedding journey

01
TIMING YOUR BRIDAL BOUDOIR SESSION

For the best experience, bridal boudoir sessions are typically scheduled 6–10 weeks before your wedding day. This allows time to enjoy the session without pressure and ensures your images and album are ready in time to be gifted.

Most sessions take place on weekday mornings, when the light is soft and the space feels calm and private. If you’re not sure when to schedule, I’m always happy to help you choose a date that fits seamlessly into your wedding timeline.

02
ALBUMS & THE PERFECT WEDDING GIFT

Many brides choose to turn their images into a beautifully crafted album — a timeless keepsake and an unforgettable gift for their partner on the wedding day.

Albums are designed with intention, elegance, and discretion in mind, allowing you to relive this season long after the wedding day has passed. Whether it’s presented on the morning of the wedding or saved as a private keepsake, it’s a meaningful way to preserve this experience.

03
FOR MY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY BRIDES

If I’m also photographing your wedding, your bridal boudoir session becomes a natural extension of your overall experience.

With personalized styling guidance, thoughtful timeline planning, and consistent creative direction, everything is crafted with the same care and attention as your wedding photography.

Already booked? I’ll help design a bridal boudoir session that aligns perfectly with your vision and your wedding aesthetic.

I have been lucky enough to have two photo shoots done by this wonderfully talented woman! The first was a boudoir shoot; any part of me that felt initially self-conscious completely went away once we started our shoot. Monica’s level of professionalism and enthusiasm for her work came across in every single photo, and I was blown away by the quality of the finished product. The portfolio I was presented with was absolutely stunning and was a wonderful wedding present for my husband. Thank you so much, Monica, for your wonderful work and our photos that we will cherish forever!
