From start to finish this wedding was gorgeous, and I was so happy that they had us be a part of their wedding. This wedding for Tony  was one that he was very excited about, because he has know Danielle since she was a young girl so it was an amazing moment for him to be able to see her now become a bride. It was pretty evident how much these two young people were in love!  One of the things that Zach and Danielle told us when we met up was that they loved Disney, not the typical Disney princesses but the parks and how special they always felt when at Disney. They said that there would be hidden Mickeys throughout the wedding and challenged me to try and find them, and capture them in some of the pictures. This made my job so much fun!  It was a scavenger hunt … a friendly competition and well, I love games!

On the big day, it rained for most of the day but as a photographer I love the rain, because it pushes me to be more creative and to find ways to capture photos even with the rainy weather. Rain always adds to the wedding story! We were able to get some photos outside right after the ceremony when there was a break between the showers. The wedding itself had so many wow moments. One of the moments that everybody was in awe over was that Danielle and Zach had projected a view of the Disney Boardwalk so it looked like they were actually there. IT WAS AMAZING!! 🙂

Favorite Moment of the Day:  Well, there’s two.  First would be when the Disney boardwalk appeared on the wall of the sanctuary.  You really felt like you were at Disney.  It stopped me in my tracks.  Second, watching Danielle dance with her father.  It was a truly touching moment and he was singing to her the entire dance.  Melt my heart!

Here is just a small sample of their photos!

I always like to take some time for photos inside the church and since it was raining, it was the perfect opportunity to grab a few more photos before the rain let up.

So colorful

I’m a fan of color!  While most clients bring items of simple nature (black, white), I’m highlighting in today’s Pittsburgh boudoir photography post an outfit that is super colorful and so awesome!

I love color and I love color in lingerie items!  Most clients bring black and white outfits or more muted tones but when I see an outfit with color, my creativity begins to go into overdrive!  I loved this bra, panty and garter set, which I believe is from Victoria’s Secret!  I can’t show you her face but I can show you some killer detail photos from her session showcasing this amazing outfit.

Don’t be afraid of color in your outfit selections.  The color can show off your personality, and if your significant other loves you in a certain color you can get an outfit in that color – they notice those kind of things!

The one thing I tell clients who are going to incorporate colors – avoid fluorescent colors.  They are sometimes too bright and distract the eye from your gorgeousness!

I realize I’m limited in the photos that I can share because 90% of my clients want to remain private.  I get that and I completely respect that.  I mention this frequently in my blog and I think it’s important that people know that I respect their privacy – these are your photos, not mine.

But, something has been bothering me for a while, and I’ve had enough of trying to hide it.

I want to see more women with curves!!!  I feel like some photographers only show those really skinny women and it does a disservice to our craft and all the women with different body types.

As a boudoir photographer, I HAVE to know how to work with all body types … why?  Because EVERY WOMAN can do a boudoir photo shoot.  I don’t care what your size is, what your skin is like, what perceived imperfections you have — you can be just like the women in my photos.

It’s time for us to show women of every size.

I just adore the woman pictured here.  This was her second boudoir photo shoot with me, and it’s touching to have someone come back to me! Here’s a little of what she had to say:

“Prior to my 1st boudoir session with Maura, I didn’t love anything about my body. After she turned her camera around to show me what she was seeing, I felt self-worth for the 1st time in my life. After that moment and after seeing the preview photos, I realized that I love my eyes, my chest, and my strong arms and legs. I’m now more comfortable in my own skin than ever before!”

I’m a woman of many emotions and I’m as real as they come. I have so many feelings as I stand behind the camera and capture my client’s beauty. Those emotions inevitably come out – a scream, a yell, a fist pump, a dance, a jump, sometimes even a curse word. I can’t control the way I feel about what I see in my clients – a sultry look, an unknowing glance, a sparkle in their eye, a surge of confidence, a moment of reflection as they realize their own beauty.

Sometimes those emotions come out as tears. There are a few of you in this group (you know who you are) who I’ve cried with – that’s how much these sessions touch my life. Sometimes, I just quietly cry to myself behind the camera. This was one of those moments. I set the scene, told my client how to place her hands, then I stepped back, snapped a few photos, and started to get a tear in my eye. Seeing this gentle and quiet moment in the session stopped me in my tracks.

I feel so much passion and excitement for this job, and I want my clients to have that same passion and excitement about themselves! I LOVE LOVE LOVE sharing this experience with women! I’m not a total sap, but the passion I have is my motivation to keep pushing along my journey!
