Sarah Mahen Photographers

Talk about holding onto a post for a long time! Kate and I got together in July to take these super awesome images as a gift to her husband, Ken on their wedding day. We’ve been waiting to blog them simultaneously(check out Kate’s post over on Wedding Bee) and I’m so happy that I finally get to share them. Boudoir photography was something I was new to when Kate and I chatted about the possibility of this shoot, but something I had wanted to work into my business. I think boudoir photographs are more for the woman having them taken then the person she’s gifting them to. With that thought in mind Closed Door Sessions were born. I look at these sessions as a way to show a woman how beautiful she really is! Kate was my perfect first model! I’m happy with how her images came out, and am so happy she loves them. We did this shoot in The Kiss Room of the Inn at Parkside in Sacramento, California. It was a beautiful venue that really lent itself to this kind of shoot.

Kate also had me put together a beautiful 20 page album as her gift to Ken. The album was so stunning that I had to photograph it before it left me. We chose a charcoal gray patent leather as the cover, and then did a classic mounted image inside. The result is a beautiful album that was a pretty great gift for our groom. Check out Kate’s blog on Wedding Bee to read more about it. Here are a few images I took of it before I sent it off.

I simply cannot thank Kate enough for being so wonderful. It was such a joy to work with her, and to create such beautiful images with her. Ken sure is one lucky guy!
