A very "chill" day after session....

Eric and Courtney are great clients of ours. We were able to be apart of their Engagement, and then we were able to be apart of their Day after Session. Many of our brides have not heard of a "day after sessions" before they walk into our studio, so I would like to take the time to explain them. 

When we shoot a wedding, we usually take about 6,000 photos, and then after the wedding we dwindle it down to the "perfect" 1000 photos and put them on a cd. Well some times a bride will want more awesome "Mark Brooke Photos". So we will suggest a "day after session". We do the shoot about a month after the wedding, we bust out some high fashion lights, and we head to a cool location. Or.... for a more down to earth feel, we will take a relaxed portrait session of the two newlyweds. Either way, the photos are super Duper fun to take, and we love doing them!

The shoot usually is ran the same as an Engagement session. We do two locations, and we usually shoot for about two hours. You can wear your wedding dress or you can think of a fun theme (like Courtney and Eric). For this shoot they wanted to go with a relaxed "now that we are married, this is what we do" theme.  

The "Day after sessions" are one of Mark and my favorite things to do. We love doing more high fashion photography when you are all dressed up in your wedding dress. And we don't have to worry about time, the dress getting dirty, or any nerves. 

Courtney and Eric are such awesome people and we feel sooooo cool that we got to shoot their Day after session.
