No white dress, no forced smiles and DEFINITELY no in-laws: The rise of the morning-after-the-wedding album
By Tamara Abraham
Wedding albums usually involve group photos with various combinations of the bride and groom's family. But a new photography trend is doing away with all that, and instead taking a far more intimate approach.
A number of photographers are now specialising in morning-after-the-wedding photos, recording a couple's first morning as man and wife.
While many newlyweds might consider it a very private time - and, indeed, a chance to recover from the excesses of the night before - some are now inviting photographers to capture the scene.

Mrs Shamis, a PR executive, 38, thinks the morning-after shoot concept is inspired.
She and her new husband even posed for Ms Jonné in the shower, recreating that famous Titanic scene with a hand on the steamy glass.
'When you get married, you’re in the best shape of your life and why not have these memories,' she told the New York Daily News.
And it seems it was a fun experience, too: 'As the day progressed, we established this fantastic chemistry with [Ms Jonné].'

The couple were so delighted with the results of the shoot, they posted the photos on Facebook, and say they will even share them with their future children - when they are old enough.
'I wouldn’t show this to them at the age of ten,' Mrs Shamis said. 'But when they’re older and can understand it. It’s their parents looking artistic… not at all pornography.'
Detroit photographer Melissa Squires, 39, has also noticed demand for morning-after-the-wedding albums. But newlywed bliss is the feeling she aims to capture, not raunchy sex scenes.
'The feeling I try to capture is closeness,' she said. 'That lovely calm and happiness one feels when they realize it’s for real, now they are really husband and wife.'
