"What's the point of an After-Shoot?"

This is a question I get all of the time, and different photographers have a lot of different answers.   I can't answer for them as I am not them.

What I can tell you are my reasons for offering After-Shoot sessions and perhaps my reasons will help you determine if you would like to do one with me.

These are, by the way, in order of importance.

1. Your wedding day can be even more your WEDDING day, not a photo shoot with a wedding in the middle.   I can't stress this enough, in fact, I just decided to make this reason 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5.   If you're getting married and the ceremony is the most important aspect of your wedding to you, call me.  I want to shoot your wedding!  In fact, call me right now.
2. see #1.
3. see #1.
4. see #1.
5. see #1.
6. There's not enough time in your wedding day schedule for an adequate portrait time as a couple.  This very strongly relates to #1.  I want you to have the wedding day you want to have, not the one I think would be best for "pictures".
7. There's a location significant to your relationship that is not involved in your wedding day.
8. You love my portrait images.  This applies whether I photograph your wedding or not!
9. You're afraid of getting a little dirty on your wedding day.  I never aim to ruin a dress, but it will get a little dirty in the process.
10. see #1.

Justin and Gina rocked their After-Shoot!  Thanks, Justin and Gina!
