I'm doing an encore dress session!

Oh PG don't be sad! I can imagine feeling like that when it's over but it's just another chapter in your life. Hopefully you'll start to feel better about it soon. And like you said I'm sure the shoot will help.

Your photos will be amazing because 1) you look great in your dress and 2) Teri's photos are amazing!!

And you get to meet LLL's beautiful little girl AND go and see the monkeys. A good trip all round!! Truly something to look forward to.

Aw Ash you've made me cry! Why am I so emotional today. I've been more emotional after the wedding which I'm sure is the wrong way round! lol

You are right though getting to meet Ruby and the monkeys and wear my dress is a bloody wonderful trip. Thanks I'll try to stop crying and smile now. xx

The way you feel just goes to show what a wonderful day it actually was ?

You need to give yourself something else to focus on so an encore dress session will be perfect!, hope you start to feel a bit better about everything ?

Dont be sad you can share your wisdom with all of us and at least you have all of those happy memories. me and my friedns have said that when we are all eventually married we will have a party with a disco where we can all wear our wedding dresses again. maybe you and yiur friends could do something like that to?

I want to do something like this but not trash my dress. i thought about having some fun photos taken like sitting on the bus or shopping in sainsburys that sort of thing.

Teri M did my Encore shoot - it was amazing!!! People kept saying Congrats to us and asking us when we got married - "erm 6 months ago"!!!!

We had a scream.

PG - you will have the best day!!! And it stopped me putting on loads of weight so that I could still get into my dress!!!!!!

MM did you do to the New Forest? Think that is where we will go.

I need to lose my honeymoon weight to get back into the dress first!

We did - we went to Rhinefield Drive where all the giant trees are - the pic where I am facing a tree is a Giant Sequoia (?sp) - it was awesome - the colours there are amazing. Also Teri and David love shooting there too!

I found the big tree stump that I am stood on - as you can tell, I didn't wear my wedding shoes!!!

Fab looking forward to it even more. I loved your boots! Not sure what I'll wear on my feet as I need to pack as lightly as I can.

I'm meeting Teri on the Sunday as well ? and will let you know how that goes. x

My H wore wellies!!! It was rather muddy and cold so I kept my boots on - but they then became a feature of the day!!! They are from Fat Face BTw!!!

I am sure you will have the most brilliant day - being photographed by Teri and David is an awesome experience. I'm very jealous!!

PG your wedding day was amazing, theres no need to be sad. Besides you will have the most amazing time meeting the beautiful Ruby and having your pics done by Teri (Which I cannot wait to see the pics!)

Though I must say I am loving the idea of a wedding dress disco! I'd love to put my dress on again, maybe I should get you round Lyns and we can have a party ?

Mavis those pics are amazing, I love the one with the boots!!

Aw, that sounds fab Lyns! I can't wait to see the pics!

I know I'll probably feel the same after my wedding but you're married now! That's the best bit about the whole day! Have you managed to get your video on youtube yet so I can have a swatch? ?

I think this sounds like a perfect idea.

Its normal (I'm sure) to feel really down after the wedding - I think the planning is so all consuming that once the day is over you will wonder what to do with all that extra time that isn't spent doing weddingy things. You've now opened a new chapter of your life - you had the BEST day, brilliant honeymoon and you are now a Mrs. Enjoy the new chapter - there will soon be other things to occupy your mind.

Aw Gillsy I'm nearly crying again, that's such a nice thing to say. [:'(]

I watched my dvd again today and blubbed up until I arrived at the venue and then laughed at myself!

Jen I've only managed to get the part when I'm getting ready in the house onto You Tube. Did you see that bit?

x

That's a fantastic idea!

Yeah, I watched that bit and loved it! ?

I think the ceremony part is too long so I've asked for an edited clip so watch this space!

Hey

I have no advice on wishing your wedding day was still to come because i had none of those feelings ? but i think the session with Teri will make you feel lovely and will give you something else to look forward to seeing.

It's weird how everything just goes back to normal after the wedding isn't it? Personally i liked it because i had so much going on and wanted to get on with it. Planning can take up so much of your time that you do wonder what you will think about after.

You'll be fine ?. I still love watching my video too.

Hey Spring x

Ooooo PG I'm wanting to do a Trash The Dress shoot after my Wedding so I can't wait to see how ur pics turn out, bet they'll be fab.

Can't wait to see the encore pics! Hope you are feeling better today.

I almost don't want my day to come as I don't want it to be over - I am sure I will be at a real lose end when it is.

Hi, Yes I have finally stoppd crying and today feels kinda strange but in a good way. We are going to the cinema to see the Transformers and it feels like a date because it's on a Sunday afternoon! lol (I've become all fluffy recently).

I'll be flashing my pics don't worry, everyone knows how I like a good flash!

Aww Lyns, big hugs,, we are going to have such a fabulous time! It's all top secret at the moment, but we have been working on some spectacular ideas for this session. I mean, spectacular!! I can't wait! David mentioned to me last night some ideas of a place for you guys to stay, so I'll email that to you. I had forgotten we had a couple stay there a few years ago when they came down for their engagement session with us. Don't be down, you can wear your stunning dress around me anytime you want

The concept behind an Encore session is not to trash the most beautiful dress you will probably ever own,, but to celebrate it properly, along with the joy and excitement you have as a new bride. Rather than rolling around in mud and water, we just go to gorgeous locations, and capture images that are more romantic and sensual, yet keeping with your personality . I think it's too cold here to get wet anyway, and I live near the beach! We love doing these, it lets us really be creative Also those of you who know David and I, we get quite competitive on who has the coolest concept for a shot, lol. It's a portrait session with an editorial fashiony edge. Here's a few more of Monkey Mavis and her beau. I'm not telling which are David shots . http://murakamiphotography.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-forest-wedding-encore-session-with.html

It's not that far before we get together, so start thinking of any type of shots you want, along with whatever David and I have planned.

Hugs,

Teri

OMG I'm even more excited now Teri and I'm all for the competitive nature as long as you win Teri! ? Girls need to stick together.

Hey maybe by spectacular you mean I get to go in with the monkeys with my dress on for cuddles.....no?!

Lxx

ahhhhhhhhhhh {dreamy face icon}.....it sounds so lovely!
