A day after session is when a couple picks a day after their wedding to get dressed up in their wedding attire one more time. Some brides get scared about doing this because they want to preserve their wedding dress and/or they don’t want to ruin it. It’s totally up to the couple on how far they are willing to go. The way I see it, before a bride gets her dress cleaned and put away in storage, why not work that dress out one more time?? Couples get to celebrate again and have fun taking photos without the time constraints of their wedding day.

When Tony and Christine opted to do a day after session I just about jumped out of my chair in joy. No joke. I love it when couples opt for a day after sesh. Plus, their wedding was a blast and I love love love working with them.

There is a new boutique resort opening in Winters, CA called Park Winters and John, co-owner, was welcoming enough to let us do the photo shoot there. The boutique is scheduled to open later this year and it’s going to be amazing. You think I’m lying? I got to see the plans for the place and they’re going to have a pool, cabanas, spa, catering, insulated barn for winter events, steam room, gorgeous views of the country, and more. The perfect place for a nice little getaway. Sign me up! Christine even said that when her sister gets married she’s going to have her check this place out.

Here are some of my favorites from the day starting off at the back patio…

Many thanks to Park Winters for letting us use their space. And to Tony + Christine for being you. Have a great European honeymoon…Bon Voyage!
