This is a very simple question to answer when we think how to plan an Engagement Session and that choice is really important. The light influences the photos a lot. So the best time to take engagement photos is at sunrise or sunset.
Why? At sunset the light starts more harsh and turns golden in a soft way. It is the time of the day photographers call “golden hour”, then it gets darker and it only gets better, if it is a day with few clouds this light reflects in the clouds, and makes the sky look cool and colorful, it’s amazing! Then we have the “blue light” – it is a very special moment because it is almost night, but we still have a little light, this little light has a charm, which is difficult to explain, but it is beautiful.
When we talk about Sunrise Engagement Photos, the process is the same but on the contrary, we start everything dark, then comes blue light, then the sky turns lilac and then we have “golden hour” – everything so beautiful!
The biggest advantage of doing at sunrise is that we have empty places to photograph, just us and in more intimate sessions like this, it is a great advantage.
