What I love about the golden hour is it happens every day. If you missed it today, you’ll get another chance tomorrow.


“You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by; but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.”
―James M. Barrie
Golden hour is the first hour after sunrise and the last hour before sunset that produces a soft diffused warm natural light.
The light is warm.
On the Kelvin color temperature spectrum, the golden hour light is warmer, with lots of yellows, oranges, and reds. The atmosphere filters out blue light when the sun is closer to the horizon, leaving you with a color palette that people associate with feelings of happiness and warmth.
