Nicky McDonnell Photography

Boudoir By Nicky - I found the idea of the boudoir session on Weddings Online as well Nicky's name. It wouldn't be something I would have thought I would do but after it I was delighted that I did. It is something you will do once in your life and both you and your partner will have it to remember for rest of your lives.
I wouldn't be very good at make up so decided to have it done for the session. Nicky booked a girl for me and I was delighted with the results. With this and the false eyelashes it made such a difference in the photos. I hardly recognised myself.
I can't praise Nicky enough, i felt so comfortable for the photo shoot and was not rushed at all. Id say I went through about 8 or 9 outfit changes. I may have travelled from the south east to Nicky's studio but it was the best weekend ever.
I decided to go with an storybook album. I felt it allowed me to use more photos and give a full reflection of the session rather than my husband only seeing one or two of them. He calls it his "special book". I think he is still recovering from the fact that I did this as his wedding present.
I will never forget the look on his face when I gave it to him. It was most definitely worth it.
For anyone who is thinking about it I say go for it. Best thing you would ever do. Nicky is great and you only do what you want to. Whether it is a wedding present or another special occasion it is a brilliant gift to both of you. And also before your session think about what your partner is interested in. I used an irish rugby jersey and a short denim skirt as outfits as well as underwear sets.
My only regret is that we had a photographer booked for the wedding before this and I didn't use Nicky for our wedding day.

Hi Nicky, Just to say Thank you for all the fab photos, you were absolutely amazing on the day I felt like you were an old friend that was taking my pic, which was fab! you were never in the way or in our faces or bossy which i really was happy with as i felt it made my day more relaxed. Thanks a million.
Love Natalie and David

Nicky, thank you so much for our Wedding photos. The photos are absolutely lovely. I love the way it tells a story before during and after the ceremony. I was very impressed with all of the photos of us and our guests and especially the ones that were taken without us even knowing that we were being photographed. They really captured some of the great moments of the day. I felt very emotional watching it! You were so professional and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you.
