Lynnette and Henry are the first couple I’ve ever worked with that have opted to do a Day After Shoot; so, naturally, I was totally stoked. The thing that is so nice about the day after shoot is that you have ALL the time you could ever want to run ALL over the place (a big city, a country side, up and down a coastline) to take any photos you would ever want to take.
As a photographer, I felt I had complete freedom to experiment with ideas that I usually don’t want to risk time on when there are pressures at an actual wedding - I felt like I could do anything, that I could be as creative and artistic as I wanted and not worry if I was losing time.
And, please don’t be confused, we only call it a “day after shoot” because the traditional name for this kind of shoot is “trash the dress” and that just sounds scary. But nevermind the name; regardless of whether you want to do this the day after (like this couple did) or a week later, a month later, a year later, the “day after shoot” will guarantee you some of the most amazing images you’ve ever seen.
This is literally the first shot I took - look how happy they are! It’s like this whole shoot was just an extension of the wedding the day before.
The shadows of the Golden Gate Bridge were making their way across the fort. Seemed romantic, so I thought I’d have Henry and Lynnette dance around down there.
I don’t normally do “jumping shots” because they’re not really very natural… but these guys were actually jumping around like this so I couldn’t help but take the picture. I mean, it was just natural.
Many have ask about baby pictures. Here they are! Taken at 8 days old. We hope you enjoy them as much as we are!
