Dewald Wessels Photography | Portraiture and Boudoir expectations

The experience

Our shoots are all about you. We don’t get carried away with the fluffy and adorn you with feather boas or frippery. We like to keep it gorgeous and real. We theme the shoot into two categories, it just flows that way and so does your confidence. Trust us we have done this a few times and know.

We start the shoot with subtle styling with lots of natural light to capture your best bits (at times, some situations require the use of artificial light). Think soft pink lips, gentle waves in your hair, wrapped in a beautiful silk robe with a hint of a lacy stocking top. Maybe even a bridal garter or your sexy wedding shoes. We have Frank Sinatra playing flying me to the moon, can you just feel the mood?

We then move on if you want to crank up the volume with some real Hollywood glamour shots. You know red lips, vintage diamanté jewels, black lace lingerie, Louboutin’s and smoky eyes. By now you will be feeling more relaxed in front of the camera and a lot more confident to give it your best shot.

All that said we do however tailor the shoot entirely around you and if you only want to do Vintage boudoir or Romantic that is exactly what we will do, believe me there are lots of wonderful ways to style you ensuring you get exactly what you are looking for.

We encourage you to bring some personal items of lingerie but the photographs are all about YOU and all about capturing your natural beauty.

Natural and soft light

We want you to leave having created photographs that you and you and your partner groom will adore forever.

We are proud to photograph only a select number of boudoir sessions per week, we're not a factory. We like to keep our business small, personal and friendly. So please bear with us if we can’t see you straight away, it really will be worth the wait.

Our photo sessions are designed around YOU. We have a variety of different locations locally we use for our boudoir shoots offering us complete peace & privacy and most importantly lots of natural light which without doubt will help make your skin look amazingly soft and smooth.

All our Boudoir shoots start with a professional hair and make-up session, this will make you feel gorgeous and get you into the glamorous zone for your boudoir photography shoot. We find a glass of bubbly often helps when you are getting “gorgeous” and will make you relaxed and ready for the most fun and liberating experience.

With over a decade of professional photography experience we know that you will look your absolute best. Natural light and diffused light are all the little tricks of the trades that we use to ensure your body is shown in its best and most flattering way. Years of experience has taught us the right camera angles along with some retouching and we will enhance all your best features. You will be amazed at our spectacular results, and if you are not we will retake your boudoir photography pictures free of charge.
