The Magic Hour // Wedding Photography MN

January 9, 2026 Bernadette Fox

Many clients ask me why I always sneak in 30 minutes during sunset to pull them away from the festivities... and well, since a photo is worth a thousand words, here are some examples of images made during "magic hour" (about 30-40 mins before full sunset). What's so magic about it? This time of day provides for a gorgeous, soft and very flattering light overall - creating rich and saturated images. It also ends up a being a nice break from the reception for the couple; another moment to reconnect with each other and remember what the day is truly about (your love!). So, my advice is to make sure to allow a few minutes for these romantic portraits in your Timeline - you won't regret it!

Clients often ask me how much time and effort goes into editing their wedding photos and the answer is... many, many more hours than you would even believe! Due to this, lots of wedding photographers choose to outsource their editing to a 3rd party (which I can totally understand). But, for me, the "edit" of the image is nearly just as important as the picture-taking itself. And it's because of this that I personally touch every single one of my client's images during the editing process.

February 18, 2026 Bernadette Fox

One of the most common question I hear from couples in planning for their wedding day is whether or not to see each other in a "First Look" before the ceremony! It's certainly an important element in arranging the overall schedule and imagining how the day will unfold.
