Five reasons for a sunset photoshoot

Hold tight for reasons for a sunset photoshoot and why it may be the best option for your session.
Ask almost any photographer, and they’ll tell you that their favourite time to shoot is at sunset. There are so many reasons why this is the best time to get your family photos, but I’m not going to make you take my word for it.
Scroll halfway through these photos (that, to be honest, speak for themselves) on why you will not regret trusting me on a sunset shoot.

Reasons for a sunset photoshoot

1. As the sun sinks lower in the sky late afternoon or early evening, we arrive at a beautiful time of the day just before the sunset. The particles in the atmosphere diffuse the light beautifully, and you will be bathed in gorgeous soft light and dramatic long shadows, perfect for portraits and known in the business as “Golden Hour”.
   
2. In addition, at the end of your session, hopefully, we’ll see some beautifully orange-red skies and finish off with a stunning sunset. What could be a more perfect backdrop for your session?
   
3. We can shoot anytime of the year and we get the opportunity for some beautiful lights as long as we start 90 mins before sunset.
   
4. This could be as late as 8 pm in the summer months, so we have plenty of time to get situated, and we won’t miss that dreamy good light.
5. In spring and autumn, it’s much earlier. Autumn sun is magical, pinks, reds, oranges. So If your children struggle to stay up late, booking an autumn session might be the best fit for you. Shoot and then home for bed.

Finally

An evening on the beach has a truly magical feel. It’s quiet and peaceful and much more private. It’s my happy place, and I know it will quickly become yours!

If with all these things you’re thinking, “Mel, I want a Summer shoot, but my kids will get to bed after their bedtime!”
As a Mother, I hear you; throwing out the routine might be scary. But listen. I promise you that one night won’t hurt. It will be a wonderful, lasting memory for you and your kids, and it is so worth it.

You won’t regret it!
