Optimal Ceremony Start Time
We can do a wedding at any time of the day!
But if good photos are a priority, we NEED to do 1-2ish hours before sunset, or right at sunrise.
Sunrise & Sunset are equally good lighting! Anything else will likely be significantly worse lighting for photos, and risks having “harsh” lighting, extreme shadows, and/or people squinting.
This is a universal truth when it comes to outdoor (no-shade) photography.
If you can’t hit these optimal windows, you should try to get as close as possible.
