Golden hour gets talked about a lot, but here’s what actually makes it work.
It’s the twenty-ish minutes before sunset when the light goes low, soft, and warm, and suddenly everything looks like it was lit on purpose. It’s not about luck. It’s about putting it on the timeline before the day gets away from you.
Most couples don’t miss it because of weather. They miss it because nobody scheduled it.
The good news? You only need 15-20 focused minutes, usually right as dinner service starts, when your guests are seated and nobody’s looking for you.
We build this window into every timeline we help plan. Save this for when you’re building yours. 🌅
