Charleston,
South Carolina has some killer sunsets! If you're getting married there
(or in any location with a killer sunset) timing is everything!
Any
wedding photographer will tell you those are some of the most difficult shots
to get, specifically because of the timing. It's not like you stop the
sun from setting. There's no magical switch to turn it on or off.
So
if you're planning your own wedding how can you be sure that you and your now
spouse will be in the foreground of the perfect sunset?
First
and foremost, communicate with everyone! The moment you hire your venue,
photographer, caterer, day of planner, band or whomever else, tell them you
want the perfect sunset shot. Communicating your plan is one of the most important things
you can do. By letting everyone know you want that shot it
will allow all the vendors to come together to say okay, we need to make sure
we're not serving food, doing the father daughter dance or whatever else may take place.
If
you have a wedding planner, whether it be a day of or a full scale they will
know when the sun is setting and put that into the day of wedding timeline.
They'll be able to communicate the specific time with all the vendors and work
around that 10 to 15 minute period to make sure you get the perfect shot.
If you don't have a wedding planner you can find out the sunset times in your
local area here: http://www.sunrisesunset.com/
You really want to make sure you work your timeline around the sunset, once that's figured out, everything else will fall
into place.
Until
next time...
Cheers!
