From many of your very first conversations, you’ll find most of your wedding vendors want to discuss the sunset on your wedding day. We are natural light photographers—so the sun dictates when and how long we shoot outdoors for portraits. The natural glowy look we love is all based around the sun.

We work backwards and forwards from the time the sun sets to determine how to lay out the timeline of your photography—you’ll want to be sure to take into consideration the time of sunset before setting the time of your ceremony. (As a general rule of thumb, we recommend timing it so that your ceremony ends at least 45 minutes to an hour and a half before the actual sunset to get that golden hour glow in your photos after the ceremony.) We’ll work with you and your planning team to create a detailed timeline for your day that maximizes the best light for your portraits and details—all while maintaining a relaxed and genuine feel so you have the very best day.

This is one of those questions we could talk about for a good long while, and still see all the different sides—in fact, we did on the “This vs. That Wedding Decisions” podcast.

If you’re still deciding whether or not you want to have a first look for the special moment just between the two of you, or if you want to stay more traditional and get that first look when you’re walking down the aisle, we invite you to listen to this episode and check out this blog post where we talk about the benefits of both approaches.
