A Golden Hour Queer Couple’s Photoshoot in Kamloops, BC
E+O’s summer couples session was by far one of my favourite sessions of 2023. These two are one of those couples that radiate love — from the moment we met I knew I would enjoy their company. There's something truly magical about this golden hour couples session. As the setting sun bathes everything in a warm glow, the love between these two women is accentuated in the most stunning way. The location for the session was along Pinantan Pritchard Road near Paul Lake — the open field during golden hour was the perfect spot!
WHY GOLDEN HOUR?
Golden hour is that magical time shortly after sunrise or right before sunset. It is truly the most enchanting time for photography. The warm, soft light during golden hour bathes the surroundings in a warm and earthy glow, creating a captivating and dreamy backdrop. Shadows are softer, colors are more vibrant, and the scenery is transformed by the light. The setting sun adds a natural warmth and depth to images, enhancing the mood. Whether capturing a landscape, a tender moment between two lovers, or a joyful little family, golden hour provides a magical setting that you simply cannot beat and can’t be replicated at any other time of day. Us photographers treasure this fleeting window of time because of the way it elevates the beauty of our subjects, making every image a masterpiece bathed in the glow of the sun.
