Hey everyone! Hope you are having a great day.
Our engagement photos date are almost here! We are having the shooting in the mountains. We came across a situation tho.
Our photographer says the best time to take the pictures is at golden hour (one hour before sunset). Since they sun is setting so late (around 8) she said 7:15-8:15 would be perfect. But she said it can be pretty late so she thinks 6:30-7:30 would work as well.
The thing is that we have quite a drive after that so ideally wouldn’t be so late.
Ultimately is up to us. She can do anytime after 5. Long story short, I was wondering if anyone had their pictures like 2 or 3 hours before sunset and still had awesome pictures? I don’t want that bright blinding light in the pictures but at the same time I’m trying to see how much the whole golden hour thing matters. I looked all over the internet and the photographers are all about golden hour, so I wanted to see some opinions in here.
Thank you all!!
