As couples plan their weddings, virtually everything gets documented on camera, from the moment of engagement to the family photos and candid reception shots. A photographer is there to capture every memorable moment of the special day, and some companies are going beyond the reception sendoff these days. An emerging trend for wedding photography involves photographers accompanying the couple in the infancy of their relationship. Sexy shoots in the bedroom, shower and other steamy scenes are becoming hot for newlyweds. We're talking intimate photos that depict the young couple in bed or even in the shower.
The New York Daily News covered the hot idea recently, and one New Jersey-based photographer said the idea was to capture the new, passionate love that spouses have for each other. “I wanted to do the shoots to show that [marriage] is happy … it's sexy and it's not over," Michelle Jonne said. The shoots may be torrid, but spouses depicted in a half-naked embrace or in pictures where the sexytimes are implied seem to love it. One happy client, Inna Shamis, told NYDN, “When you get married, you’re in the best shape of your life and why not have these memories.” Some of the sweet shots include a man's back pressed against the glass shower door, while his wife leans against him and presses her hand to the door. Others show couples simply relaxing in bed. Either way, the idea is not to show off too much - just the emotions behind those blissful newlywed days.
