Golden Hour Photography Website Theme

Golden Hour

Golden Hour gives the photographs the room. The opening picture fills the screen under the header with a small title in spaced capitals, and the type steps back from there: a light Fraunces serif for headings and Montserrat for everything else. Recent stories run as numbered spreads, pairs of photographs sit offset on a warm glow, and kind words get a band of their own. Sections rise slowly into place as a visitor scrolls.

Is Golden Hour only for wedding photographers?

No. Any business whose work is best shown in photographs fits it, from family sessions to florists and small venues.

Which color palette does Golden Hour start with?

Linen. Sage and the dark Espresso palette keep the same layout.

Can the hero be shorter than the screen?

Yes. Set the hero's height to fit its content for a shorter opening.

We are a married pair of photographers who work every wedding together, one of us with the couple and one with everyone who loves them.

We shoot quietly and mostly unposed, with a roll of medium format film for the portraits. Every gallery arrives within five weeks, and every couple leaves with a printed album.

A bride in a long veil and a groom in a dark suit kiss on a stone path between two tall arrangements of white flowers.

A bride in a beaded bodice holds a bouquet of pink peonies, peach garden roses and white lisianthus on stone steps.

Two silver wedding bands, one set with small diamonds, rest together on a weathered wooden surface.

A low table centerpiece of peach garden roses, white orchids, greenery and halved oranges beside a glass candle holder.

A woman fastens the small buttons on the lace back of a bride's gown in soft window light.
