The raciest photos we used to see at weddings were big wet kisses or couples feeding each other cake in a flirty way.
Now, newlyweds have been expanding the definition of wedding photos in a new trend called "morning after" photos. A photo-journalistic style has been hot for many years and now "morning after" photos add a fashion-photography edge with a lot of skin and intimacy.
Professional photographers are hired to come to a newlyweds' hotel room or home the day after the wedding, or in the weeks or months following it. Then, they just enjoy each other's company and the photographer snaps away. The idea is to capture the couple's true closeness and as one photographer put it, to show that marriage is happy and sexy.
One woman on Facebook says that these types of photos are like "standing on top of a mountain and screaming to the world that she's in love."
The woman also said
she worked her tail off to get in the best shape of her life for the wedding,
so now -- if ever -- is the time to take photos like this.
She says the whole
thing was the idea of the photographer, who she's friends with. The photographer
says she was inspired by the steamy underwear ads featuring David and Victoria
Beckham and she charges about $650 for "morning after" shoots.
