The Best Boudoir Photographer For Monmouth County Women


Through many years of dedicated service, I have established a premium boudoir photography studio catering to women not just from New Jersey but also extending to New York City, Pennsylvania, and other areas. My career has been enriched by capturing the essences of hundreds of women—each session is a profound privilege I approach with immense respect.


My approach differs distinctly from others in this field. What I offer transcends mere photography—it's a luxury experience akin to a celebratory event.


When discussing how to choose the right boudoir photographer, I often draw an important comparison: consider it as significant as planning for your wedding or celebrating an anniversary. Just like you wouldn't rush choosing your wedding dress for the sake of thriftiness, why settle on your boudoir photographer?


Imagine preparing for an anniversary dinner—you select the perfect outfit and anticipate a delightful evening at a fine restaurant like Ruth's Chris. Yet, what if your partner suggests Taco Bell instead? Quite unexpected for such a milestone celebration, right? This analogy illustrates that sometimes, investing in an unparalleled experience is more valuable than just cost considerations.


This principle applies equally when selecting your boudoir photographer. Working with me? Think of it as opting for that luxurious Ruth’s Chris steak dinner or riding in a Range Rover Velar SVAutobiography—it's about offering an extraordinary experience where every detail is planned for distinction and elegance.

Why So Many Monmouth County Brides Choose Mike


I never planned on any of this happening...LOL. I never even planned on being a boudoir photographer. You could say it was an accident. It all started as a favor to a friend, and literally blossomed from there as word spread from friend to friend. Being the type of person I am, I said to myself Well, if this is going to become a thing, we're doing to do it a bit differently.


I'm a bit obsessive. Not only did I throw myself in learning how to photography women. It needed to be better than anyone else. Countless hours of practice and late nights studying we the norm. While other photographers were in bed, I was sitting up at a computer at 1AM trying to figure out how I could have done a certain photo better.


Over time this lead to a distinct style. To this day I am still super-critical of myself. I knew what I wanted a boudoir session to be, and so I created a system that let me produce the type of results I knew I wanted. It meant not cutting corners. It meant dedicating a lot of time (perhaps too much time) to each project to get it right. I wasn't willing to compromise. I wasn't willing to cut corners. It was what it was.


It turns out there was a demand for this type of boudoir photography, and my audience grew.


So, here I am today operating a specialty bridal boudoir photography business for women who want the best of boudoir photography.

Don't Leave Your Wedding Boudoir Photography To Chance


So, who are my clients? Great question. My clients are women who value experiences, enjoy having a great time-- and as I mentioned earlier, are looking for a "better" alternative.


What's is like working with me? Well, usually it starts with an inquiry from my Contact Page or my Instagram account. My of my clients are brides, but I work with women for all occasions.


As I mentioned, I work a bit differently. I usually like to jump on a quick Zoom or Google Meet to learn a bit more about you and what you are expecting from your session. It's important to make sure we're a good fit. I'm enthusiastic about what I do, and I really only want to work with clients who feel the same.


Due to the nature of my work, I only make a limited number of slots available each month, and once they're filled... they're filled. As I mentioned before, I invest a lot of time with each bride, and I'm not fond of cutting corners. Every client gets the attention they deserve.


How far you ahead should you book your bridal session? I'd say at least 2-3 months before your wedding is a safe bet. Boudoir photography takes time. After a session is completed, it can take me a few weeks to get through the photos, prepare a gallery, assist you with selections, etc. It's a process! Not only that, for some of the specialty albums I'm producing can, alone, take two weeks or so for printing and binding. So get in early!


There are times, notably, spring, where I am typically wait-listed. I can often have brides booking with me up to a year in advance to hold their spots.

Beautiful Boudoir Photography... AND a Great Time


My one requirement... You're coming in with the understand that we're going to be having fun creating your gift. Boudoir is fun. It's definitely a welcome break from the every day routine. Sessions all start with a makeover, which takes about an hour. Hey, it's all about having a bit of pampering.


Once all the prep is completed we're typically taking photos for perhaps two hours or so. I don't operate with times limits. It's a leisurely afternoon, and we're there to have a good time. Boudoir photography isn't about time limits.


When we're finished, my client leave literally feeling like they are walking on air.


It really is my pleasure to contribute, even if in only my small way, to so many weddings. Boudoir photography is a such a great wedding gift-- and if were up to me-- should be a part of every Monmouth County wedding.


So, what does this all cost? Without a doubt it's more on the "Ruth's Chris" side than the "Taco Bell" side. My clients come to me for specialty photography, and that's what I do. I discovered long ago that what I do goes beyond photography. It's really about that overwhelming joy and heart-filling experience that comes each and every time you view your album-- and I'm talking about five years...ten years into the future. It's a feeling that transcends words. If you're wondering why you should choose me as your boudoir photographer, spend a few minutes on my website.
