help! yet another bridal location question

Hi again ladies!
I found a photographer - hurray! But the package includes a bridal session - crud! (we've already done engagement pics elsewhere) I had not thought about a bridal session AT ALL. And considering how saturated my brain already is and how soon my wedding is coming up, I'm stumped.

I think I want classical and/or edgy. I really liked the Chihuly exhibit at the arboretum, but in this heat, I'd probably pass out in my dress. I also really like the classical/dramatic look of the Fort Worth Club, but my photographer said there's not many locations there to take pics, sadly :(

Any other suggestions? Not really looking for the industrial or country look (Off The Grid or Cotton Mill)

Thank you!!!!

    What about Bass Hall or Wyly Theatre?  I think they both charge, but I think you could definitely get the drama!

    Is there somewhere in DFW that is special to you and/or FI?  I think it would be so much more meaningful if the location had a story behind it.

    Also, do you think you might be able to negotiate something else out of your photographer?  It sounds like you weren't really planning on doing bridals, so maybe you could ask them to take that and turn it into an extra hour of wedding day coverage?

    No significant memories in indoor places. It doesn't help that I've been living away for most of the time we've known each other.

    EDIT: posted too soon. Thank you for the suggestion! I've already booked her for 8 hours so I think I'm good. But what else do you think I could ask to switch for? Because some other kind of photo shot (no idea what) wouldn't be a bad idea.

    You guys could to a "Day-After" or Bride and Groom" photo shoot!  I really want to do one, but I'm having a hard time convincing H.  It's basically just you and H getting dressed up again and going out and taking more pics, except you're not in any kind of rush because you don't have a reception to get to!

    stephiehall and bsn did them recently and they were beautiful.

    If she does prints and/or books you could also ask her for a print credit. :)

    I did Boudoir at the M Group in McKinney, and it was only $50 for the hour.
