Sunset Photos

Most people assume they will have beautiful outdoor images on their wedding day, but did you actually plan for it? Your wedding day schedule can mean the difference between getting the photos you dream of getting on your wedding day or not. The wedding day is actually one of the only times that most photographers shoot at the brightest time of the day, because we have no choice - family photos and first looks often happen mid day or early afternoon (at best) so trust your photographers instincts when we suggest certain locations for these moments!

Okay, so if the time of day matters this much to make or break a great picture, how do you get the pictures you want? Simple! Plan the day according to the time of the sunset. At minimum, your ceremony should happen at least 2.5 hours before the sun is scheduled to set leaving time for family photos directly after the ceremony and Bride and Groom photos 1-1.5 hours before sunset! Trust your photographer to have your timeline perfect so that there are no moments missed! Sometimes we sneak the bride and groom away right at the beginning of the reception to have a moment with them to have those gorgeous sunset photos that everyone loves so much. We like to make the most of this time and we promise not to keep you away from the party!
