More and more brides are choosing to have bridal sessions after their big day has come and gone. At first, this may seem illogical – but there are many advantages to having a post wedding bridal session. Since keeping the dress in perfect condition isn’t the focus of the day, a bride can go to places that are unique and take pictures that might have been otherwise difficult or impossible to take before the wedding. Also – if you want to bring your husband along to get in a few of the shots here and there, that is also an option (and can often result in some great photos).
Most of the time, the dress comes out just fine and can look good as new after a trip to the dry cleaners. Sessions can be modified to be as “out of the box” as you want them to be. Post wedding bridal sessions can be done after you get back from your honeymoon or much later on. I have brides who came to me a year after their wedding and it is always a fun time to get dressed up and capture some great moments (plus, the photos make a great anniversary gift).
I was delighted to hang out with Kasey and her mom at the lake for her bridal session. We drove around and would hop out at spots that looked fun to go to. She was such a trooper and awesome to be around (as always – see her E-session and wedding photos). Towards the end of the trip, Kasey decided she wanted to get some shots in the lake, which turned out beautiful. It was getting a little toasty around that time, so I think we both appreciated our chance to cool off in the water. Thanks again to Kasey, who is one of my bravest brides and a wonderful person inside and out!
