Calgary Bridal Session - Sarah & Dale
Your wedding day is filled with unforgettable moments, but it often flies by in a blur. That’s why more brides are embracing the beauty and meaning of a Day After Bridal Session—a relaxed, dreamy photo session that takes place after the wedding, centered entirely around you. And if you’re a bride who shares a deep bond with your horse, this is the perfect opportunity to capture that relationship in a setting as magical as your love story.
What Is a Day After Bridal Session?
A Day After Session is a post-wedding photoshoot featuring just the bride, often styled in her wedding dress, and set in a location that reflects her personality or passions. It’s a moment to step back into your gown, slow down, and celebrate in a way that feels authentic and deeply personal—without the time pressure of your wedding day.
Why It Matters
1. More Time, Less Stress
On your wedding day, there’s a lot going on—from hair and makeup to ceremony logistics to spending time with guests. Photography is usually done on a tight timeline, which can make portraits feel rushed. A Day After Session gives you all the time you need. No one is waiting, and no one is pulling you away. It’s just you, your photographer, and a relaxed, joyful atmosphere where creativity can truly flourish.
2. More Creative Freedom
The freedom of a post-wedding shoot means you can truly bring your vision to life. Want to ride bareback through a golden field? Or sit in your gown with your horse nestled against you under a tree? Maybe you had Pinterest boards filled with epic editorial-style shots that just weren’t possible on the wedding day. This session is your chance to make those images a reality—with no limits, and all the time in the world to get it right.
3. Show Off Your Gown Again
You chose your wedding dress with so much care and emotion. It deserves to shine again! Wearing your gown one more time allows you to feel that bridal magic again—but without the nerves or tight timeline. Plus, you’ll get photos that are entirely focused on your look, your joy, and your energy. And if your dress gets a little dusty while walking through the woods or brushing against your horse’s mane? Even better—those are the images that tell a story.
4. Including Your Horse (or Other Beloved Animals)
Let’s face it—weddings can be overwhelming, and involving animals in the middle of a tightly packed schedule is tricky. A Day After Session gives you the time and space to connect naturally with your horse. Whether you’re riding, walking side-by-side, or simply sitting together, your bond can shine in a way that feels unhurried and authentic. It’s a tribute to the deep companionship you share, and those images will hold a special place in your heart forever.
5. Extend the Celebration
You spend months—sometimes years—planning your wedding, and it’s over in a flash. A Day After Session lets you linger in that beautiful, post-wedding glow just a little longer. It's like the encore of your love story. It’s a chance to soak it all in, slow things down, and have fun again, dressed in the gown that started it all.
Let’s Make Magic Together
A Day After Bridal Session is more than just a photoshoot—it’s a way to honor your journey, your gown, your personality, and your passions. Whether you want wild and whimsical shots with your horse or soft, romantic moments in nature, it’s your chance to tell your story, your way.
If you’re a bride with a love for horses, nature, or simply want a beautiful, relaxed moment to celebrate you—let’s talk. I’d be honored to help create images that feel like pure magic.
