BEST TIME FOR BRIDAL PORTRAITS
Trying to put your wedding day schedule together is difficult! I know. But needless to say that after the ceremony photographs, the next important thing is bridal portraits. That’s the day when you have your beautiful wedding dress on, your hair and makeup done perfectly, and more important - you are just married! I can’t overestimate the importance of bridal portraits.
Obviously, we don’t need to spend too much time taking pictures (I know it can be overwhelming!), 30 min is enough for most couples. By the way, if you guys are into being photographed and want to do it for 2-3 hours, we are ready as well! LOL
But what is the right time for the photoshoot? Considering you’re getting married on Guam, you know how humid its climate is and how hot it can be. Moreover, harsh light is a photographer’s nightmare! So the best time to shoot is closer to sunset.
"Wow, hold on, but what’s about the reception? We need to be there at 6pm!"
You’re right! And everything on your wedding day should be just the way your want it. Sometimes it requires compromises though. The truth is - golden hour light is the dreamest and makes you look amazing. And the closer to the sunset we shoot - the better. But if you decide to have your photoshoot at 3pm, here is what you can do to feel more comfortable and get the best pictures:
- choose a location with shadow, like parks
- grab some water. It’s probably will be hot out there!
- bring a pack of napkins. It’s still hot out there!
- or choose an indoor location instead
And everything will be just fine :)
