What is a day after-photo shoot?
Also called a post-wedding session, it is similar to an engagement session only scheduled the day after or weeks after your wedding. You wear your wedding attire and have an extended session. These can last up to 4 hours and include multiple locations.
There are many reasons a couple would consider this type of session. Keep reading...maybe this blog will convince you to book a post-wedding shoot will get you the photos of your dreams.
Optimize your wedding day
Time is always a huge factor on any wedding day. It has been my experience that couples often do not plan enough time for portraits, of just the two of you...together. and even when you do, weddings ALWAYS run late.
Reduce that wedding day stress and plan a session post wedding. Then you have the flexibility to not include couples portraits in your wedding day timeline. This has the advantage of adding extra time for more family pictures or just to interact with your guests.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
Have you chosen a destination wedding but already have so much to accomplish on your wedding day? Get all the photos you want at multiple must see spots in your dream locale without feeling rushed on your big day.
Would you like to have wedding photos in some of your favorite locations? You can get creative, with no need to rush. This means capturing you and your partner in a more relaxed state. A favorite park, or a scenic lookout along a familiar hiking path? Maybe your favorite date night spot?
Wear That Dress Twice!
You spent many hours shopping, dreaming, fretting over the perfect dress and now that you found it. Most brides only wear their dress one time. Why not get the most wear out of it you can? (and more photos!)
By booking a day after -photo session you have the opportunity to wear that amazing dress on again. Plus you will not be concerned about getting that dress dirty before the ceremony. You will be more willing to walk along dirt paths dip your toes in some water or get even more adventurous.
You Will Be More Comfortable.
This will likely be your third time working with your photographer. Engagement photos, wedding day photos and now.. the post-wedding session. You will have created a great friendship with your photographer and in return will be more comfortable. You will also have a certain amount of trust with them to be more creative. All of this will lead to amazing portraits.
Greater Flexibility
One of the advantages of a post wedding session is the flexibility you have with time and weather. On your actual wedding day you are on a timeline that doesn’t prioritize the best time of day for photos and lighting. You can schedule your post wedding session for the time of day to capture and early morning glow, golden hour, sunset photo or maybe you want to do a milky way photos. They are all possibilities.
Post wedding photography sessions are a completely optional add-on to your wedding photography experience. But, it is an option that would allow you to remove stress from the wedding planning stage and also the big day itself.
Your post wedding photography session can act as a safety net ensuring you get all the stunning couple portraits you want.
Remember, these post wedding photography sessions do not have to be booked on the actual day after your wedding. You can book your session for a few days or even a few weeks after your wedding. Contact me today to talk about all the possibilities of a post wedding photography session.
