Question

i got married at the justice of the peace and now we want to take wedding pics even though we didnt have a wedding... Has anyone ever did that.. how did it turn out..

Answer 1

I work for an event photographer and your "problem" is really common.  your choice of photog is critical.  look through their past work and picture yourself in the shots.  if you don't like them, there are so many others...... def shop around if it matters to you.

Answer 2

Why not!  Everyone deserves wedding photos.  Get a dress you love, him in a suit or tux and hire a photographer and go to a beautiful park or something!

Answer 3

Of course....that's the way it used to ALWAYS  be done. There was no photographer at the wedding...the couple had formal pictures taken at the photographers studio AFTER the wedding.

Hope they turn out GREAT!!!

Answer 4

Buy a secondhand dress for cheap, and do a "Trash the Dress" shoot....

It looks amazing.....

Google it....

That's what I'm going to do for our 1yr anniversary!

Answer 5

why not.......It's your life!

You can just call them couples/family portraits if you think it would be too weird!

Answer 6

Sure!  Is there a beautiful park, beach, lake or old building in your area?  I'll bet if you look around you'll find some lovely places for pics.  Just hire a photographer for an hour or two.  Make sure you see their portfolio & have a contract before giving any money.
