We’ve all heard of the engagement photos, the bridal portrait session, and even a boudoir shoot. But lately our feeds have been full of gorgeous couples in incredible locations captured in the latest photo trend – honeymoon shoots! Couples are now signing up for sessions around the world on their jet-setting adventures and (pun intended) we are onboard with this trend as it takes off. If these images alone don’t convince you, we’re sharing 5 reasons why honeymoon photos should be an official part of your wedding photography plans.
Just like when you first got engaged, or on your wedding day, the honeymoon is a special time in it’s own right. That just-married feeling creates a new view on everything from the first time you refer to each other as husband and wife to the first picture you post with your new last name. A good photographer will capture that newlywed bliss and the images will bring you back to how you felt in that moment forever.
Chances are, your honeymoon is an experience unlike something you’ve shared before. Whether it’s a new-to-you location or an exotic destination, you have the chance to visit somewhere amazing as a couple and what better way to document the memories than photos?
The pressure to document our every experience is mounting but your honeymoon should be a time just for the two of you. Take the pressure off to take the perfect pic of yourself and leave it to the pros to capture insta-worthy images. An hour or so with a photographer and you can pack your phone away for the rest of the trip!
Seriously – you have that newlywed glow! Bridal beauty is no joke. From highlights to lashes to a fresh mani/pedi or even a pre-wedding fitness routine, why not get more out of the investment you’ve already made in yourself and capture photos when you are looking and feeling your best?
We KNOW you’re going to want to post that photo of your perfectly plated meal or snap a shot of your new spouse doing well… anything, but those aren’t exactly printable moments. Professional photos are pieces of art and you will love having quality images to frame and display as a treasured reminder of this special time in your life.
