Bride only Park photoshoot

[iluvasoldier]

Any brides plan/planned to have a park photo-shoot of just them?

I was toying with the idea that perhaps a few weeks after the wedding having a shoot at AK for just me?

Comments? Concerns?

I think if it's something you'd like to do and your DH isn't interested or you just prefer to do it alone, then go for it.

I will tell you my experience from my wedding 11 years ago and my DFTW VR last year, I didn't use a whole lot of pictures of me alone in our albums or to display in our house. I have one wedding picture of me alone displayed in a frame and none from my VR. I have a few of me alone in the albums. I think if I had done a whole hour of portraits of just me I probably wouldn't have known what to do with all those pics of just me! So just for me personally, it wouldn't have been worth the money. But like I said, if it's something you really want to do, go for it!

I don't know about your fiance but I know that though mine isn't particularly excited that I want to do a park shoot he would feel left out if he wasn't in them. Also you will spend the rest of your life explain to people you show those pictures to why your husband isn't in them. Just a thought. If it is an issue of convenience I think you have a year after the wedding to go take the pictures. Ultimately if your want to take them alone I say go ahead. I just think its odd to see pictures of a bride and no groom.

If my DFI wouldn't care/didn't want to do it, I would do it. But I'd really make sure he wasn't interested before I did it without him.

Its common in the South to do bridal portraits of the bride by herself. Often one is framed and gifted to the bride's parents. I wouldn't think anything of it....

I've never heard of that but if its something you'd traditionally do culturally or even as a tradition go for it.

I think it's a nice idea, if you want to do it and you DH isn't interested. Trash the dress shoots are usually just the bride, and I've heard of lots of people doing bridal sessions just for some beautiful photos of them in their dress.

You don't have to want to display the photos to want to have them taken. Much like a PP, I have one wedding photo up. I love my wedding photos, but have never been a shrine to my wedding day type person. My girlfriend has a while section of her house dedicated to her wedding, with their cake topper, various souvenirs, and more pictures than you'd think possible! To each their own!
