You may have opted for an engagement photo session in downtown Austin or on the grounds of the Mayfield Gardens. Regardless of where you have chosen to take your pictures in Austin Texas there is one thing you have to remember especially if you are taking your pictures outdoors and that is evening shade.

Evening shade is big factor in making you engagement pictures look really good. Taken pictures is bright sunlight causes dark shadows, washed out colors and you will find yourself squinting most of the time.

The Austin wedding photographer recommends you take your engagement photos 1.5 to 2 hours before sunset. An hour before sunset will produce the best results as the sun will be dim and produce a beautiful soft light for your pictures. Most likely your engagement session will run into the sunset and that give your photographer another incredible opportunity to create some beautiful sunset pictures. 

Always remember to have fun at your engagement photo session. Till next time this is another time from your wedding photographer in Austin Texas.
