Utilizing Golden Hour
3, March 2016
In photography, the “golden hour” is known as a period of time shortly after sunrise or before sunset. It is sometimes called the “magic hour” as well, which you’ll easily understand why after seeing the photo session we chose below! Nevertheless, all you need to know is taking your photos during the golden hour is a sure way of getting truly magical images. It’s soft, warm, dreamy, and well, golden. During this precious time, the sun is set lower in the sky that produces a soft, diffused light, softening shadows, and adding dimension.

Teary suspense. Jumping with excitement. No moment is more thrilling than the first glimpse of your loved one on the day you’ve been patiently waiting for. That moment when you first lock eyes, the romance is palpable. Capturing both the bride and groom’s reaction simultaneously can tell a whole love story in one image! Being able to hold that image after the wedding day is over is priceless. It holds the power to teleport us back in time to an exact moment. The emotion. The strength of love. A calming sense of certainty.
