Good morning friends! I have a lovely “after” session for you today! Unfortunately, Elizabeth didnt choose to have an “after” session it just sort of- well- happened. She had a wedding dress mishap. Her dress was ruined in alterations and she had to buy another dress weeks before her ceremony. We had a bridal session on the schedule but we had to reschedule because of her dress situation. I will say, I LOVED the new dress… so she did find something that was so perfectly her.

It got us thinking that it would be a great idea for more couples to do “after” sessions instead of their bridal sessions. Now dont get me wrong… we LOVE bridal sessions, in fact, it could be one of my favorite sessions to shoot. But how fun is it to be able to go to cool locations with cool light WITH your new spouse for really awesome photos? You arent on a time crunch, worried about the bottom of your dress getting dirty, limited to the ceremony locations, or stressed out from it being your wedding day! We think it is such a good idea ESPECIALLY for clients who choose not to meet before the ceremony. This past year only 4 of my wedding couples chose not to meet before the ceremony. We are glad that it is gaining in popularity because we believe it makes your images dramatically better (but… we still value your decision and let our clients choose for themselves) Ultimately, we just want your couples photos to be AMAZING ;) Just some thoughts for your morning!

Elizabeth let me choose the locations (you have seen them time and again) but they are my favorites. It cannot be overstated- my undying love for fields with beautiful light! The first image here is out of focus- but something about it- is just perfect.
