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

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!
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??

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.
