It was the end of their wedding reception, guests were leaving and family was packing up decor as I peeked outside to see a clear sunset. Right around their venue was all parking lot and industrial buildings, so I walked a half block down to a small patch of grass with the Butler water tower in the background and I said “this will work perfect”.
I went back to the venue to ask Ashton and Jennah if they still wanted sunset photos. They had just danced for a couple hours and it had been a long day so I’d understand if they just wanted to say their goodbyes and head out. Instead, Jennah’s eyes lit up and she said she’d love to take sunset photos. Ashton said he wanted to do whatever his new bride wanted to do (🥹). **Cue the happy photographer dance**
I LOVE LOVE LOVE sunset photos but I will never try to force a couple to do them. So when I have a couple excited to take them, especially after a long wedding day, I am pumped. These photos took 15 minutes max and they were so worth it. What do you think?
Would you (or did you) leave your reception for sunset photos? Why or why not?
