Season planning
fall wedding tips
- —Autumn light is warm and low-angled all day — every photo looks like golden hour
- —Lean into natural fall elements: dried leaves, seasonal fruits, pumpkins, and harvest botanicals as decor
- —Fall evenings cool quickly — plan shawls or blankets for guests, or move inside after sunset
- —Peak foliage timing varies by region — research your venue's typical color peak week
Golden hourGolden hour in fall arrives earlier — often 5–6pm — so plan your outdoor portraits and ceremony timing accordingly.
Things to consider
