As a photographer, I have had the pleasure of capturing some of the most stunning moments between couples. Whether it’s an engagement or simply a couple in love, there’s something magical about photographing them during sunset.

Sunset is a time of day when the light is warm and soft creating a romantic backdrop
for couples photography. The golden hour, as it’s known, occurs just before
sunset, and is the perfect time to capture breathtaking photos of couples.

Another advantage of photographing couples at sunset is that the environment is typically more relaxed and intimate. During this time, the hustle and bustle of the day has passed, and the couple can simply focus on each other, making it the perfect time to capture those intimate moments of connection and affection. The calm and tranquil ambiance also helps couples to feel more at ease, resulting in more natural and authentic expressions.

Above is a photo I took just after a couple got engaged.  I love the backdrop of the ocean and the warm colors and how it brings a sense of joy for the new beginnings to come.  Add a ring, a bottle of champagne and the promise of a new future and you won’t be disappointed with the sunset photos we take.

If you’re planning a couples photography session, consider scheduling it during sunset to take advantage of this beautiful time of day.  Contact me to schedule a time to shoot.
