Get pictures taken almost a year later?

calvinknight03

I've been married 8 months. I'm still a little upset because it rained on the day of my wedding so we didn't get the outdoor photo shots that I wanted next to a bridge and waterfall as it was too muddy to go there. The pictures ended up being in front of the church on the pathway with some plants. They came out okay, just not what I wanted.

So would it be ridiculous to get some pictures taken again? Either one year photos in normal clothes with my husband and I or shots in my wedding dress at the same spot with the waterfall? I could do like a trash the dress kind of thing (though I really don't want to trash it).

What do you all think? Should I just get over it or try to take photos again? If so, in which way?

Thanks!

What about a TTD photo shoot? Your H could just wear whatever.

I like the one year later idea. There is nothing worse than not getting the great pictures that you wanted on your wedding day. We had the worst photographer ever for our wedding and I've been thinking of doing something like this too! I like the idea of incorporating the dress in some way, maybe not necessarily trashing it but...something with the dress.

I say go for it. My H wants to take pics downtown with me in my wedding dress and I can't wait.

I say go for it, do the one year photos. We're getting married next May, and my photographer offered us a rain date.  Alot of brides think about where to take pictures, the perfect place.  Whether it's a location where you had your first date, or where he proposed etc.  It usually has meaning, that's what you'll think about when you see pictures down the road.

My BFF is doing that. The photographer they had was horrible...looked like they took a disposable camera and handed it to a 9-year-old. So I'm actually redoing their wedding pictures for them when I go home for my vow renewal. She's wearing her gown and he's wearing his service uniform and we're doing them in downtown Philly.

Go for it! I have read that a lot of women do year later pictures. I know that pictures are important to me so if they didn’t turn out well for one of the most important days of my life I would be upset.

 

FYI Trash The Dress shoots don’t actually have to involve you trashing your dress. It’s just the name of the shoot. 9 times out of 10 Trash the dress shoots have nothing to do with getting your dress dirty or trashing it in any way, its just an opportunity to get those creative shots of you in your gown that you might not have had time to do on the day of your wedding. I think it’s a great idea and will defiantly be doing them after my wedding.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Get pictures taken almost a year later? : I can think of any number of things that are worse than that. Honestly, I don't see the point of taking wedding pictures after the wedding is done.  Then they're no longer wedding pictures...they're pictures of you in your wedding dress posing like it's your wedding day.  What's the point of that?  Years from now you'll look at the pics and instead of thinking, "look how happy we looked on our wedding day", you'll be thinking, "hey, look at us on some random day when we put our wedding clothes back on and took more pics."

I agree.. if you want to take the photos in regular clothes as "anniversary photos" that would be ok.. or trash the dress..But wearing your gown and acting like it is your wedding day, when it is not, would just be strange and pointless. The point of taking the photos on your wedding day, is to capture the day and events in the moment. Your wedding gown is for your wedding day. Not for a random day when your husband wants photos of you in a park a year later.

I would be devastated if our photos didn't turn out the way we wanted them!  So I completely understand why you would want to re-do them!  I say go for it.  It might seem weird to some people, but if it makes you happy, then that's all that matters.

So if you didn't get good pictures during your ceremony, would you re-enact that too?

I would just have a re-do wedding if that happened!!

Go for it!  I didn't quite get down to my goal weight so I plan on doing some "trash the dress" photos.
