p.1 #1 · What time are you guys doing your engagement shoots?


Just wondering at what times you guys are getting the best possible lighting during your engagement sessions?

End of the day is good for us. You get a softer golden light from sunset and of course the sunset shots to finish off the shoot.

I've usually done two hours before sunset but have been recently getting requests for sunset shots...

I guess 1 hour before sunset should be fine... right?

I'm hoping for time for normal shots... and then the sunset shots

Golden hours, although the last one I shot was pretty much from 3 til well after dark, albeit cloudy all day. you should learn how to shoot in all types of conditions, but try to schedule for the golden hours.

We actually try to do ours early on a Sunday morning. The light is ok then - but for us it isn't about light, which can be manipulated, but about making our couples as at ease as possible.

We tend to do urban sessions, around town, and early on Sundays there is no one around - so our couples feel a bit free-er to ham it up, and play for us.
