Imagine this: it’s your wedding day and you’re surrounded by all your favorite people, the atmosphere is buzzing with love and excitement, and your heart is racing with anticipation. It’s your special day, and you want to soak in every precious moment! After all, you only have the one afternoon with all your favorite people in one place. So, here’s the question: do you want to take a chunk of time away from your guests on your big day to focus on your bride and groom photos?

Well, hold onto your veils and bow ties because I’ve got a game-changing idea for you! Let me, your friendly neighborhood DFW wedding photographer, introduce you to the incredible concept of the “Post-Wedding Session”.

Post-Wedding Session

What is a Post-Wedding Session?

Instead of whisking you away from your guests on your wedding day, more and more couples are choosing to relive the magic by donning their wedding attire on another day, and specifically focusing on their bride and groom portraits then. This fabulous option is known as a post-wedding session.

This option saves the bride and groom portraits for another day and frees up the couple to be fully present on their wedding day. Allowing them to soak in every second with those who have come in to celebrate with them.

Why Have a Post-Wedding Session?

First of all, let’s acknowledge that wedding days are like whirlwinds of emotions and activities. Even if you’ve carefully planned every minute and added in a ton of buffer time – as I always recommend my couples do – (more helpful wedding day advice here) there’s a good chance that time can slip away faster than you can say “I do.” Unfortunately, when things run behind schedule, it’s often the couple’s portraits that get affected first or, worst-case scenario, eliminated altogether.

That’s where the post-wedding session swoops in to save the day! By scheduling this session, you’re taking a proactive step to minimize stress on your wedding day. You can rest easy knowing that you’ll have those precious photos of just the two of you taken on another day. And can stay present and enjoy your time with all your loved ones on the day of!

Allows For More Variety and Creativity

Another bonus to a post-wedding session is that it allows more time for creativity in your portraits! We can incorporate more backdrops, locations, and poses. While spending more time getting creative with unique angles and lighting, etc. If variety and a high level of artistry are important in your wedding portraits, this allows you to more easily strike a balance between capturing those stunning photos you’ve always dreamed of and maximizing the quality time spent with your loved ones on your big day.

In my opinion, a post-wedding session is a no-brainer. The benefits are undeniable, and the end result is the best of both worlds. You get to celebrate your way, fully present on your wedding day, and still walk away with those jaw-dropping, envy-inducing photos you’ve been dreaming about.

So, if you’re on the hunt for a wedding photographer who can do it all – from capturing the magic of your wedding day to orchestrating a post-wedding session that’s uniquely yours – I’d love to connect!
