From Danielle Fletcher on having a day after bridal session
Shortly after I shot my last Wedding, I realized I missed the Bride & Groom! I knew I wasn’t meant to be another vendor on a Wedding Day… working within someone elses schedule wasn’t giving me the experience or results I wanted. But the experience of being with couples that are so in love and oohing and ahhing over the gown and the shoes… and just really celebrating with them… I missed it! So I quickly decided that in addition to my boudoir and other portrait work, I would offer Bridal shoots, Trash the Dress shoots and Day-After Shoots.
A Day-After shoot can be not only incredibly fun (who doesn’t want to get all dressed up again?) but more often than not, it’s a necessity. Let’s face it. Most Weddings do not go as planned, most schedules are packed tightly and even when room is left for photos, the restrictions of where you can go are limited and the anxiety the couple feels about getting back to their guests can sometimes take away from the emotion of those precious moments together, creating portraits.
The Day-After shoot (which doesn’t have to be the next day or even the next week) can be a time to truly revel in your newlywed status. We’re able to choose the most ideal locations, light etc. so that you have photographs that actually honor how you feel about one another and capture all of the beauty with none of the distractions. SO many Brides tell me they wish they could do it over because they didn’t like their hair or they didn’t have time or the location wasn’t ideal… this is the perfect way to have photos with none of those issues and no constraints. It’s the BEST way to celebrate a new marriage.
How beautiful are those photographs taken by Danielle Fletcher? Danielle is pretty much the go-to for Boudoir Photography and day after bridal sessions. Sadly Danielle does not do weddings, but she is running a fantastic contest to win a Day With Danielle Fletcher. Click here to enter.

Oh so Beautiful Day After Bridal Session by @BoudoirOnFilm http://t.co/kgCZ5wyd
Thank you SO much for wanting to share this beautiful Bridal Session, Chicks! And thank you for such kind words, as always. Just a little piece of info for anyone reading… the rhinestone pieces are mine (vintage) and the neckpiece she’s wearing in the images with the bell jars was crafted from a vintage sleeve trim by Fallon (floral designer). Everything else is from the AMAZING shop, Nan Winters in Petaluma, CA.
I’m SO proud to be being featured with these extraordinarily talented ladies I adore <3 Thank you Wedding Chicks! xoxo
Lovely work. This is exactly why we like to do Day After sessions too. More time with a fun bride and groom is never a bad thing!
