When it comes to unique wedding moments, T-Rex costumes are making quite the splash, appearing in engagement shoots and even surprising grooms on their special day. But no one has pulled it off quite like Emma Ross from Calgary, Canada, who has claimed the title for Best Use of a T-Rex Costume with her outstanding boudoir photos.
Emma shared with us that she was looking to add a touch of humor to her boudoir shoot, and her online moms group friends were more than willing to help. “A friend jokingly mentioned her own T-Rex boudoir session, and with my wedding approaching, I knew I had to do something similar,” she explained.
Her friend, Lisa Thompson, a fellow mom in the group and photographer, eagerly volunteered to assist. “Emma and I connected online through our mom group four years ago,” Lisa recalled. “I’ve been capturing moments of her family since her son was born. She wanted to create something special for her husband on their wedding day, and we thought a boudoir shoot would be perfect, especially since my husband had an inflatable dinosaur costume from Halloween.”
This is the essence of supportive mom groups — being there for each other during parenting challenges and fully embracing the quirky ideas that come up.
According to Lisa, the shoot was just as entertaining as the final pictures. “I’ve never done anything quite like this before,” she laughed. “It was one of the funniest experiences; she could barely move in the costume! There was a lot of flailing and giggling. At one point, I had to take a break because I was laughing so hard that mascara was running into my eyes.”
While boudoir photos are typically seen as sultry, Emma found that trying to pose in a T-Rex suit was anything but. “It was really hot in there!” she reminisced. “And moving around was super awkward.” The session took place while her fiancé was away at his bachelor party, but her three-year-old son almost ruined the surprise. “My son, Leo, thought it was hilarious to see me dressed as a dinosaur. He nearly spilled the beans to Chris when he got home by saying, ‘Mommy is a dinosaur!’ Luckily, we have a dinosaur-themed bathroom, so I just said we were playing pretend.”
Emma and her husband Chris tied the knot on July 1st, making them official newlyweds. Although she was excited to reveal the photos to her husband, the delivery didn’t go as planned. She had printed a photo book to surprise him before the wedding, but when he reached the more revealing boudoir images, he closed it to avoid showing his groomsmen. Ultimately, her reveal was a success. “When he finally looked through it, he laughed for about thirty minutes,” she shared. “He said he should have kept going when he saw the picture of me picking my teeth!”
Not everyone, however, was thrilled with Emma’s choice of costume. “My youngest son, Max, was just nine months old during the shoot and wasn’t too impressed with the T-Rex,” she added.
A dinosaur-themed boudoir session may seem extravagant, but we’re here for it. There’s no need to pout for the camera or worry about where to stash the photos so your kids don’t find them later. Most importantly, your husband will never forget he married a playful, sexy beast.
