The Power of Golden Hour Wedding Photography
f
There’s a moment in the day when everything just glows! when the light softens, the colours warm, and the whole world feels just a little bit more romantic. That’s golden hour. And when it comes to wedding photography, it’s absolute magic.
Golden hour usually happens in the hour after sunrise or before sunset. And while it only lasts a short while, the beauty it creates in photos is timeless. Scroll on to see some of my favourite golden hour wedding portraits, and why I always try to include them in every couple’s day.
Why Golden Hour Wedding Photography is So Special;
1. Soft, flattering light
Golden hour light is diffused and gentle — no harsh shadows, no squinting. Skin glows, dresses shimmer, and everything feels dreamy.
2. Romance in every frame
Whether it’s a kiss against the sun or a quiet silhouette, golden hour brings a cinematic feel to even the simplest poses.
3. A moment to breathe
These portraits often happen after the ceremony, when nerves have settled and the couple can just be. It’s a lovely pause in the day that feels like a date, not a photoshoot.
Some of My Favourite Golden Hour Shots
These golden hour moments are some of my absolute favourites — warm, cinematic, and full of emotion. Each one tells its own love story, bathed in the most beautiful light of the day.
When to Schedule Golden Hour Photos
It changes throughout the year: earlier in winter, later in summer. But I can help couples plan the timeline around it. You don’t need a long session; 15–20 minutes can be enough to create something unforgettable.
