What exactly is a “day after” photo session? It is a portrait session of just the two of you in your wedding attire. It’s fun, relaxed and stylish. These sessions are becoming more and more popular.

One reason to book a session for the day after your wedding is to keep the event flowing. You won’t have to cut into the reception time on the actual wedding day to take photos. This might happen if the two of you plan on not seeing each other before the ceremony and have a large family. Leaving your guests waiting for over an hour while you take family, wedding party and your pictures can be a bit rude. Your guests have flown, drove hours and taken the time to visit with the two of you…don’t leave them hangin’.




Another reason to choose a day after session is for the opportunity to change your look. Get more funky with your hair and make-up, add a bright coat or chunky jewelry to your gown. This is your chance to look like the models in the magazines…have fun with it! 



This is so popular in China that there is a Chinese company that runs group tours to spectacular sites just so the soon-to-be-married couples can shoot their wedding photos. Can you imagine riding across a lake on a horse back like the bride below?  Push your imagination to the next level with ideas for your shoot. Do you love golf? Head out on the greens. Do you love wine? Take a tour to local vineyards. Whatever you do you’ll have an experience and images to remember for a life time.
