Some wedding stories deserve a little more time. After photographing their wedding in France,
I met this French couple again, for one last beautiful session together.
We headed to the French Atlantic Coast, where the ocean, the warm evening light, and the slower pace of the day gave us the perfect setting for their day-after wedding portraits.
Sunset Wedding Portraits on the French Atlantic Coast
After traveling from Australia to celebrate their wedding in France, they wanted to make the most of their time here.
Just three days after their wedding, we met again for a relaxed day-after session along the West Coast.
We started in the salt marshes of Guérande. Then we drove to Saint-Brevin-les-Pins for the final hour before sunset. We wandered through the dunes and along little sandy paths as the sun slowly dipped towards the horizon, bathing everything in warm, golden light. When the sun disappeared, we stayed a little longer to capture the last moments of daylight. The sky gradually turned into the softest pastel shades. And a beautiful moon rose above us. We kept photographing well into blue hour, surrounded by those incredible colors and the peaceful atmosphere of the coast.
No wedding timeline, no rush, just the two of them enjoying a quiet evening together, a few days after saying their vows.
Why Plan a Day-After Session After Your Wedding?
Your wedding day can go by incredibly quickly. Between the ceremony, your guests, and all the little moments happening around you, there isn't always much time to slow down and enjoy being together.
A day-after wedding session gives you that opportunity.
Despite its name, it doesn't have to take place the very next day. It can happen a few days after your wedding, once the excitement has settled and you have a little more time to yourselves.
It's also a chance to choose a location that feels meaningful to you, whether that's the coast, the countryside, or somewhere you simply love. Without the constraints of your wedding schedule, we can take our time, explore, and create photographs that feel natural and personal.
For couples planning a destination wedding in France, a day-after session can be a beautiful way to make the most of their time here and capture another part of their story.
