News about their wedding preparations pepper the web and social media. But here in WaW, we are always looking for stories behind the scenes because we believe that these are the moments that capture the essence of every event.<\/p>\n

So we hooked up with Arlene Briones of The Boudoir Dolls to find out what it was like to work with Pauleen for her bridal boudoir shoot so we can share it here in WaW.

\u201cShooting any celebrity may be daunting at first because they simply are what they are \u2013 stars<\/em>,\u201d says Arlene. She admits that she and her team had some notions prior to the shoot, but the actress\u2019 arrival at the shoot proved more refreshing than they expected.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019d think a celebrity would usually come with an entourage,\u201d<\/em> says Arlene, \u201cbut she quietly arrived with a personal assistant and that\u2019s when the makeup artists & stylists starting adding more magic on her.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The photo shoot took only two hours as according to Arlene, Pauleen was easy to work with. <\/p>\n

\u201cA boudoir shoot is like a dance between a woman and the photographer and Pauline was easy to direct. As with any normal boudoir shoot we have, women would naturally start moving on their own, which was she did and we just snapped away. For most women, confidence builds up during a shoot but for Pauleen it was already inherent to begin with<\/em>,\u201d she says, clearly impressed by her subject.<\/p>\n

\u201cUp close & personal she is very classy and we\u2019re glad to have taken part in her journey to one of the biggest milestones of her life<\/em>,\u201d Arlene adds.

Pauleen did not have a hand in the concept of her bridal boudoir. Arlene explains, \u201cShe left the concept up to us which was Old Hollywood and Nostalgic. We had an old theatre to work with, and some movies playing on the projector<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n

She continues, What was different for this shoot was that it wasn\u2019t done in a bedroom (where most boudoir shoots are done) but in a old theatre which we thought fit Pauleen\u2019s showbiz life perfectly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We asked Arlene how the entire experience was like working with Pauleen and her take was: \u201cIn every portrait shoot, we get a glimpse of the real person in front of the lens, we can usually see it in their eyes, their smile, the way they move.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Arlene continues. \u201cWe loved how this shoot was a little toned down. When someone is really that beautiful & sophisticated, you don\u2019t need to show that much skin to exude sexy. Which boils down to what we want boudoir to be all about – comfortable in your own skin, whatever you\u2019re wearing, wherever you are.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

She notes,\u201cWith Pauleen it was a quiet kind of confidence. One you know who has gone through a lot but has become victorious.<\/em>\u201d [\/x_text][\/x_column][\/x_row][\/x_section][x_section style=”margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 45px 0px 45px 0px; “][x_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” bg_color=”” style=”margin: 0px auto 0px auto; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_column bg_color=”” type=”1\/1″ style=”padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_image type=”none” src=”http:\/\/weddingsatwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Arlene-Pauline-Madoka.jpg” alt=”” link=”false” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][\/x_column][\/x_row][\/x_section][x_section style=”margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 45px 0px 45px 0px; “][x_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” bg_color=”” style=”margin: 0px auto 0px auto; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_column bg_color=”” type=”1\/1″ style=”padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; “][x_text](Photo above: Pauleen Luna with Arlene Briones and Madoka of The Boudoir Dolls.)<\/em><\/p>\n
