Should we take new pics at our venue? after the wedding? didn't like ours

bridget1312

I was very disappointed with our wedding pics. I picked this gorgeous venue, Ranch/Winery, because I really was hoping for some amazing photos. There were a few okay ones of us, but I was looking forward to the art of it. I mean, you can't even tell we were at a winery, let alone a ranch. Would it be weird for us to take pictures in a month or so, I don't want to get back in our wedding clothes or anything, since that day is over. But I was thinking of wearing a cute white dress and having my husband dress a lil nice and having another photographer go and do a session at the place of our wedding.. What are your thought??

[QUOTE]What you're thinking of is often called a "Wear it One More Time" or "Trash the Dress" session. Women actually *do* wear their wedding dress again. Sometimes the husband will dress up too, but usually he's in a more casual look. Some couples go to the beach (and into the ocean), a park, a horse barn, downtown in a city, or any other place.  If you can afford it and your husband is in agreement, I think it's a great idea! Whether you wear your dress again or not is up to you. Don't forget to check out your local board for photographer suggestions!

You can do that or get into your wedding attire again for a Rock the Dress session. Either way if it's something you want and would enjoy you should go for it. We did have a RTD for our 1st anniversary at our wedding venue, even though our pictures turned out amazing. It's going to be fun

I say go for it! If you can afford to hire another *good* photographer and do it, GO FOR IT!!! I also agree wearing your wedding dress is totally fine and appropriate! You can get some really neat and original photos!

If you can afford it, why not?

I feel the same way, we only had about 5 pictures of just me and Hfrom our wedding day.  He didnt want to do a first look and ran out of time and daylight to do alot of pics after the ceremony,  I would love to do "a day after" session but H thinks its not needed   Im such a girl, I want more pics from our big day! 

I would def do it over!!

Well my husband is all about doing a sesh at our place, but he does NOT want to put our wedding stuff back on.  I am a little unsure, but ya, I probably wouldn't want to put my dress on again, I just want some pretty pics.  He said our pictures look great, I am just not so happy...   I sooooo wish I could go back and do it again...  He rushed us, on the lighting?  I mean, don't they take pics when its night time too??

Nothing wrong with it!  Go for it!

I've seen some great TTD or RTF sessions where the H wore khakis or dark jeans with a white button-down dress shirt. It looked great.

I think bride and groom pics are fine, and are becoming more popular. Why not??

If you were going to do it I would suggest getting back into your wedding clothes.  I don't see the point in just wearing regular clothes and taking photos.
