Speaking of wedding day surprises, one of my favorite gifts is having boudoir images taken for your special someone. No one captures the intimacy of these portraits better than Elizabeth Messina. She captures the essence of boudoir flawlessly. Here are just a few of my favorite images from Elizabeth and her blog, Kiss the Groom.

Also, in case you haven’t heard, Elizabeth has a beautiful new book out, The Luminous Portrait which is filled with tons of eye candy and know-how on how she creates such perfection in her images. Please check it out immediately!
