golden hour vs. sunset wedding photos
Trying to decide between golden hour and sunset for your wedding photos? This blog breaks down the differences between the two and helps you understand when and why to schedule each for the best results.
Golden hour, about an hour before sunset, offers soft, even lighting that flatters skin and creates romantic, natural-looking portraits. Sunset, on the other hand, brings bold skies and dramatic silhouettes — perfect for emotional, artistic shots.
We recommend making time for both in your wedding timeline, even if it’s just 15–20 minutes. With careful planning and expert guidance, you’ll walk away with a gallery full of timeless, light-filled moments.
