Hi, I’m Megan — a Northern Virginia wedding photographer specializing in intimate weddings. I believe every couple deserves portraits that feel calm & reflective of their love, rather than rushed or posed.
And this is exactly why I offer day after sessions. The most thoughtful way to extend your wedding experience with relaxed, romantic portraits focused entirely on your connection. These sessions give you the chance to be fully present with your guests while still capturing timeless wedding portraits of your dreams.
What Is an Intimate Day After Session?
An intimate day after session is a dedicated session the day after your wedding for couples portraits. Simply put, it’s a chance to have meaningful, emotion-filled photos together without the time crunch or distractions that often come on wedding day.
Instead of trying to squeeze portraits between your ceremony and reception you get to create space just for the two of you. The perfect excuse to wear your wedding attire again, choose a beautiful location, and enjoy a calm, intentional experience focused entirely on your connection.
Why Day After Sessions Are Worth It
Intimate weddings are built around presence. You’ve likely planned your day to prioritize time with your closest people, but carving out uninterrupted time for couple portraits can be a challenge.
That’s why day after sessions are such a thoughtful add-on. They let you be fully in the moment on your wedding day and then shift the focus to your relationship the next day.
No rush. No pressure. Just real, relaxed images that reflect the depth of your love.
Whether we’re back at your venue or somewhere totally new, these sessions allow you to settle in, reconnect and create something beautiful.
