At Allebach Photography, we love working with couples who embrace the beauty of their connection, and Jay and Vivek are no exception. After being together for 2.5 years, these two decided to take a bold step toward something new: a couples boudoir session. While this was an experience that initially came with nerves, it quickly became a powerful way for them to grow even closer.
A Relationship Built on Exploration
“Vivek and I have been married for 2.5 years, and we love exploring and doing new things together,” Jay shared. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, they make a conscious effort to focus on themselves and their relationship, ensuring they prioritize what makes them happy.
“When I first brought up the idea of couples boudoir to Vivek, he was hesitant,” Jay recalled. “But he saw how badly I wanted to do this, so he went along with it because he wanted to see me happy.”
What happened next surprised them both. After the experience, Jay and Vivek found themselves sitting in their car and saying, “we are doing this again”. The photoshoot turned into a cherished memory, a shared experience that strengthened their relationship.
Facing Fears and Embracing Vulnerability
Jay and Vivek first heard about Allebach Photography through an Instagram ad, and while the idea intrigued them, it wasn’t without its share of nerves. “We were nervous about showing our bodies,” Jay said. “We weren’t very confident in the way we looked.”
Vivek, in particular, had always been comfortable in front of a camera, but Jay felt the opposite. “I never thought I photographed well,” Jay admitted. Adding to that, there was a fear of being vulnerable in front of someone else, but they decided to put their worries aside.
“We wanted to do something spicy, and this was what we needed,” Jay said, reflecting on their decision to take the leap.
The Day of the Session: From Nerves to Confidence
On the day of the session, Jay and Vivek brought a range of outfits that represented their personalities: formal attire, jock straps, and harnesses. While they walked into the studio feeling unsure, the experience quickly shifted.
“We felt nervous before the session, unsure if this was something we should do,” Jay shared. “But by the end of the day, we felt confident and powerful. It made us love the way we looked.”
They had no idea what to expect but were blown away by how comfortable they felt. “What surprised me most was how at ease we were in our outfits, exposing ourselves in front of someone else,” Jay said.
Seeing the Results: A Powerful Transformation
When it came time to see their images, both Jay and Vivek were astonished. “I never thought we would look like that,” Jay shared. “I even got a little emotional because I’ve always thought I didn’t look good in that type of clothing—or lack thereof. But it made me feel so confident and powerful, and it made me love the body I have.”
After the session, Jay and Vivek chose a printed photo album as their artwork. “We weren’t sure what we wanted to do since this was our first time, but the album felt like the perfect choice,” Jay said. “We’re already planning to do this again, and next time, we’ll explore more options for artwork.”
Jay and Vivek’s Advice for Couples
When asked what advice they would give to someone thinking about booking a session, Jay’s answer was simple: “Just do it. Enjoy it. If you’re looking into it, then you’re already into it. Don’t second guess—just be free and take the leap.”
Since their session, Jay and Vivek have experienced a noticeable shift in their relationship. “It’s given us an overall confidence boost and added a new type of connection between us,” Jay said.
Jay also had high praise for our team. “Mike was the most amazing photographer. He really knows what he’s doing—how to capture the best light and angles. Even without editing, his photos looked better than all of our final wedding photos. You will not be disappointed.”
A Thrilling Experience Worth Repeating
For Jay, the highlight of the entire experience was getting to be free and half-nude in front of the camera with his husband. “It was just thrilling,” Jay said. “I can’t wait to do it again, be more bold with my outfits—or even without outfits.”
