You’re probably thinking, we are already taking photos with our family and friends after the ceremony, bride and groom photos in between, and will have photos being taken throughout the entire day. We understand that these are already a lot of photos, but hear us out– sunset photos are totally worth it!

Take a look at the top 4 reasons we think every couple should make time for sunset photos:

Even if your coordinator created a timeline and everything is running smoothly, there will still be a lot going on. Whether that includes, your guests asking for photos with their personal cameras or phones, guests chatting with one another, some getting drinks at the bar, others getting hor d’oeuvres, some dancing to the cocktail hour music. Sunset photos provide some quiet, intimate time with one another, away from everything.

Sunset photos have that golden hour light. Before the sun actually sets, there is that window of golden hour light photographers love! This lighting is not only flattering, it’s romantic, it’s golden, it’s magical.

Time goes by so quickly on a wedding day and sometimes, weddings go a little behind schedule, and you don’t get all of the shots you wanted with your spouse. That’s okay! Sunset photos can give you and your spouse more time with your photographer to get those bride and groom photos you wanted but maybe didn’t have time for earlier in the day!

Another benefit of sunset photos is extra images! Adding sunset photos to your timeline will give you more options to choose from in terms of favorites from your wedding gallery. Most times, couple’s favorite shots come from their golden hour photoshoot.

So, how do sunset photos work? Don’t worry, your photographer and coordinator will keep track of the time and sneak you both away and walk around your venue to get those perfect portraits.
