Choose the right time of day for your natural couple portraits

The quality of light can significantly impact the mood of your natural couple portraits on your wedding day. We usually recommend breaking up your couple portraits across short intervals throughout the day; consider scheduling one of these sessions during the golden hour before sunset, when the light is soft and warm. This creates a flattering and romantic atmosphere for your portraits.
