My fiance and I have budgeted for the photographer we like and the package we selected comes with an engagement session. A few of our friends have done a day after photo session that they really enjoyed. After speaking to our photographer, he gave us the option of doing one or the other to be included in our package.|||Ive never heard of a day after photo session. The day after your wedding?
I would probably choose the regular engagement photo. The day after the wedding, all we wanted to do was kick back and chill.|||Personally, I think this is a waste of $. You can have your friend take a couple of pictures of you and your new fiance in a park for a nice back-drop and it'll save you lots of $.|||Pick the engagement photo session, not the day after photo session.
The day after you get married, having an appointment is the last thing you want to do, believe me.
All you will want to do is bask in the memory of yesterday (your wedding day) and have no responsibilities that you can avoid. You have been through enough budgeting, family drama, making arrangements, planning, appointments, stress and all that lead up to yesterday that you will not want to do another wedding related thing except perhaps be with each other, alone. At least that's what I would do, without a question or a doubt.
EDIT: oh, I see, with the wedding clothing. Nope. That would be a re enactment, which, by the way, I find to be a phony rendition of the truth.....yesterday is over. If you can, have the photographer take those extra photos after the wedding reception, after the stress of the day is over. Do over dress ups are staged and do not have as much meaning after the fact.|||What possible difference could 1 day make in the quality of your photos?|||Do the engagement session. It'll allow you to get comfortable with the photographer before the wedding.
The day after the wedding you're going to be absolutely sick of posing for pictures. You also won't want to get yourself all dolled up again. Lastly, you'll be exhausted - getting married and having a reception is very tiring!
I felt super-glamorous on my wedding day, but the day after I just wanted to put my hair into a ponytail and wear jeans.|||engagement shoot - ive never heard of going the day after.plus there will be lots of photos of you as a married couple on your first day so some of you before you got married is a nice idea to me|||The engagement session I would think is better. I remember the day after I got married and the last thing I would have wanted to do was worry about getting all dressed up for another photo shoot. The day of is usually a very long and sometimes stressful day so the day after you really just want to relax with eachother, or so is my experience. If you don't have a problem getting up and getting all dressed up again to go take pictures than do it and I'm sure you'll love your pictures but if you think that it'll be better to do it before and get a different set of pictures. Pictures in which you're you. You guys are just in your clothes enjoying being engaged, then do that.|||It seems most likely that you would be contacting the photographer long after the proposal, so I don't see how that could be "engagement photos". More like "some pictures we happened to take before the wedding." As for the "day after" we were on our way to the honeymoon on the day after and didn't have time to stop by the photographer. A few nice professional pictures of the two of you in relatively casual clothes could be a nice addition to your wedding photos, though. No need to take care of it immediately after the wedding, though.
I agree with the others, definitely not another photo session in your wedding attire. Just ask for another photo session at a later date. Variety is good and you'll have plenty of pictures of you in your dress.|||Go with the engagement session. That way you have a nice picture to use for either save the date cards or if you want to blow up a picture to display at your wedding near the guest book.
I've never heard of day after pictures. You will have plenty of pictures from your wedding, why would you need pictures the day after when you are supposed to be spending time together and relaxing after the wedding.|||Engagement photo session everybody wants the capture the moment the very moment. Its romantic its spontaneous and its special you only get to live once capture the moment and don't let it pass you with that being said : my friend is getting married next month and people have said that i should get this but maybe you should think about it too. Keep these memories forever

I've never heard of that. besides you'd have to return the tux a day late and you'd be charged for that. what if your gown gets stained at the wedding? then you'd be paying $$$ for photos of you in a dirty gown. your train may get grass stains on it and someone could spill wine on you, etc. I've seen both happen at recent weddings. after the wedding, it's not all about you anymore. you don't get the focus from your family that you used to. you get to move on with your life as a new family unit! you don't need photos to memorialize that. an engagement session is more meaningful because it shows how beautiful and young you were during the wedding planning. I scheduled mine for the day of my hair %26amp; makeup trial, since I was paying to have my hair %26amp; makeup done I might as well have photos of it!
