I promise spending at least 10 minutes outside for sunset is always worth it.
I get it the day goes by so quickly and by the time sunset rolls around you’re prob sitting down for the first time. I really try to not push anything on you that you don’t want to do but here’s some alternative ways to think about sunset portraits
The day moves fast and really how much time have you two spent together just the two of you? It’s the perfect time to step away from the hustle and bustle and reconnect for 10-15 mins.
Couples tend to be wayyy more relaxed during sunset portraits. The hard part is done, you’ve got some food in you (maybe a few cocktails) and posing is second nature at this point.
The lightinggggg DUH. Summer weddings we’re usually doing your portraits in harsh sun. Soft lighting in the evening is a completely different look. It’s like having two photo shoots in one! (Also take your jacket off and your veil out we don’t need them for these portraits)
Okey my favorite! You get to see your wedding from a different perspective. You’ve been the center of attention all day and sometimes that can be hard to see the big picture of your day. Taking you physically away from your party and seeing it from the outside looking in gives you a different view of everything you’ve planned come together. It’s fun getting to see all your friends and family enjoying the party you’ve dreamed up!
All that being said if I come up to you and ask and you’re not feeling it, overwhelmed or simply want to boogie down on the dance floor say less. The day is yours and I’ll never make you do anything you don’t want to do!
