ADVICE ON WHY YOU SHOULD INCLUDE A SUNSET SESSION IN YOUR WEDDING DAY FROM NIKAYLA & CO., A CATHOLIC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Deciding whether or not to include a sunset session in your wedding day may be hard. Is it really necessary? Will it just take more time away from my guests? Will I still need more photos with my new husband/wife? I think a sunset session can always be worth your time, but it really just depends on what is most important to you and your itinerary! Here are all the details on why I recommend one if it’s possible and desirable on your day.
To start off, I’d like to explain a little what a sunset session with Nikayla & Co. would look like. On the evening of your wedding, a little while before the exact time of sunset, me and both of you will rush outside and get a few last sweet photos together in the super saturated, glowy golden hour light. We can take our time and run to another location or take literally 3 minutes just outside of your venue. In the winter when the sunset is super early, or just because you want to, we can also do a “dusk” session in the blue light of post-sunset or even a session under the stars if it comes to that time of night before you have a moment to get outside. Whichever time of evening works with the itinerary, here’s 3 reasons why you should consider it.
3 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD DO IT
- A sunset session will allow you some alone time with your honey after the craziness of photos, social, and usually dinner. Take a minute and breathe each other in again. Have a few minutes to cuddle and chat quietly about how the second half of the day is going. Tell each other your favorite part of the speeches. Lean on each other, because after all, you’re husband and wife now.
- This extra session gives us a few more couple photos in totally different, gorgeous light. This lighting is usually some of the best of the day (weather dependent) and can offer a whole different vibe to your gallery compared to the harsher, brighter mid-day light. You’ll also be in a much more relaxed mood since there’s nothing to stress about anymore
- I love having couples see what the evening/night of your wedding looks like instead of being inside of a venue from 6pm onward!✨ No matter how beautiful your venue is, it’s cool to remember how humid it was at 9pm on your July wedding, or the little tiny snowflakes that you would’ve missed had you not come outside at 6:45pm in November.
All that said, if it makes your heart happy, do an extra little session in the evening. You won’t regret it!
