Are brides really doing this?
Long after the last glass of wine has been sipped and the guests have gone home, the newlywed couples are retiring to their wedding night rooms to plan their intimate .... photo shoots? Yep, that's right! The newest trend to hit the wedding circuit is the morning after wedding shoot where the couples invite their favourite photographer into the bedroom (or shower) to document their bliss - wedded bliss that is!
The idea is to capture the sexy, steamier side of the couple in an intimate surrounding. Laying casually on the bed, sofa, bear skin rug on the floor, sharing a shower or any number of other creative stages with erotic positioning and expressions portraying complete satisfaction, playfulness or deep adoration. The finished products resemble artistic high-end advertisements you might see in magazines. Perhaps for a cologne. Admittedly beautiful results to add to the memories.
No statistics have been compiled as to the percentage of couples doing these photo shoots so as long as the media tells us it's being done, it will spread as more and more people embrace the newest trends. Besides those couples who share them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or through some other social media, will these photographs be put on display in their homes or put away with the other wedding albums?
How will you use your intimate morning after pictures?

Apparently this was not a trend at all. The photographer that took the only set of pictures created the "trend" to generate more business.
