My non-wedding shoots are usually 2-3 hours long and I schedule them to either end around sunset or begin around sunrise. I personally loooove sunrise lighting more than sunset. This year I did more sunrise sessions than ever and I loved them so so much! (Plus, in the summer they are 10-20 degrees cooler than sunset sessions!)

Here are a few 2010 sunrise sessions:

Ashley + Andrew
Kamrin + Eric
Cori + Danny
Kari + Marlon
plus a few still in the works…

I scout out locations all the time. I feel everywhere I go, I am subconsciously looking for awesome things. Some locations I have done, I asked for permission ahead of time. Some I didn’t. It just depends.

However, I am one that hates the attitude of some photographers that feel they can climb, disrespect, and do whatever they want with private or sacred property. If I question whether I should do something at all, I’ll always go ask. Usually no one has a problem with it.

But who’s really going to deny a bride and groom?? :)
