The golden hour is the period of time just before sunset when the light is soft, warm, and golden. It is a photographer's dream to shoot during this time because the light is flattering and creates a glowy effect that adds a magical touch to the photos. The warm hues of the sun as it sets also create unique shadows and highlights, which adds depth and dimension to photographs.
Wedding photographers love capturing images during the golden hour because the soft light creates soft shadows and minimal contrast, making it easier to capture detail in both highlights and shadows. Most of all this light also creates a romantic and dreamy ambiance, which is perfect for capturing intimate moments between the couple.
