Ms C came into my Gold Coast boudoir studio just two weeks before saying “I do” at her Tweed wedding, and what a radiant bride-to-be!
This leggy blonde goddess brought in a collection of stunning lingerie in classic bridal white, a vibrant green set, and we added a pop of fiery red Honey Birdette from my client wardrobe, because why not spice things up, right? 🔥
But here’s the thing I want all brides to hear: wedding planning is a lot. Between dress fittings, final guest counts, dealing with flaky RSVPs, family drama and seating charts (don’t even get me started), it’s easy to get so caught up in everyone else’s expectations that you forget to pause and actually enjoy the moment for yourself.
That’s why I am a massive fan of bride-to-be boudoir shoot. It’s not just about taking sexy photos (although, let’s be real, that’s a big part of it 😉) — it’s about slowing down, reconnecting with your body, and giving yourself permission to breathe before the big day.
Ms C did just that.
She walked into the studio glowing with that “I’m-getting-married” energy, and you could tell she was ready to lean into the moment. Her photos capture every bit of that joy, sensuality and strength. Because this isn’t just about looking amazing for someone else. It’s about celebrating YOU and everything you’ve achieved leading up to this life milestone.
Let’s also acknowledge something here: in the months before your wedding, you are likely in the best shape of your life. You’ve been investing in yourself, eating better, working out, prioritising beauty treatments, and maybe even skipping a few wild nights out. So why not show off your hard work? Why not document your bridal bod and immortalise this incredible moment in your life?
And hey, if you need another reason—bride-to-be boudoir shoot is also the ultimate wedding gift! Imagine your partner opening up a custom album of jaw-dropping photos of you on your wedding morning! The gasp. The grin. The smug satisfaction knowing you absolutely nailed it.

That’s three birds with one stone, my friend.
Ms C embraced every part of this experience with grace, sass, and that effortlessly glam bridal energy. She got to take a break from the madness of wedding planning and just be in her own power for a few hours—and the results speak for themselves.
This is what Ms C said about her bride-to-be boudoir shoot experience:
“I recently did a private photoshoot with Willow Branch Photography as a surprise gift for my soon-to-be husband, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about the experience. Malin was absolutely amazing. I was a little nervous going into it, but she made me feel so comfortable and confident from the very start. She’s warm, professional, and really knows how to bring out your best in front of the camera.The photos turned out gorgeous, I felt beautiful during the shoot, but seeing the final images completely blew me away. I know my fiancé is going to love them, but it was also such an empowering experience for me. Highly, highly recommend!”
So if you’re a bride-to-be, stressed to the eyeballs with to-do lists and timelines, let this be your permission slip: Book the shoot. Take the day. Celebrate you. Because this chapter deserves to be remembered, and more importantly, you deserve to feel like the absolute queen you are, even before you walk down that aisle.
