Golden Hour Couple Portraits
Twenty Minutes. The Best Light of Your Life.
Golden hour is the twenty-to-forty-minute window after the sun drops below the treetops but before it disappears entirely — and for wedding photography, it is the most extraordinary light available. It is warm, directional, flattering, and cinematic. It turns ordinary settings into extraordinary ones and makes portraits feel timeless from the moment they are made.
I schedule a short escape from the reception with the couple specifically for this window. Away from the noise of the room, just the two of you and me, in whatever setting the venue or location offers. We walk, we laugh, we find a few quiet minutes together in the middle of the most extraordinary day of your lives.
These portraits are consistently the images that couples choose to print large, to frame on their walls, to send to their families. The twenty minutes you give me at golden hour are the most photographically transformative of the entire day — for every couple, regardless of venue, regardless of weather.
