The Magic of Golden Hour Engagement Sessions
Posted by Chloe Kim on December 05, 2023
You've probably heard photographers talk about "golden hour." It refers to the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset, where the light is softer, warmer, and more flattering than any other time of day.
Why We Love It:
Soft, Diffused Light: The low angle of the sun creates a soft, diffused light that minimizes harsh shadows and creates a dreamy glow. It's universally flattering on all skin tones.
Warm, Golden Tones: The light takes on a beautiful golden hue, which adds warmth and a romantic atmosphere to your photos. Everything looks more magical.
Directional & Dynamic: We can use the low-angled sun to create beautiful effects like lens flare, backlighting (which creates a gorgeous halo effect around you), and long, soft shadows that add depth to the scene.
An engagement session during golden hour isn't just about taking pictures; it's about creating a beautiful, romantic experience that you'll remember every time you look at your stunning photos.
