Golden Hour Redefined

Once Brian Gluys of Columbus, Ohio-based 222 Photography had a concept in mind for this wedding portrait, the execution was rather simple. “It was the final minutes of sunset on a May day in Ohio, so the colors were naturally golden,” Gluys recalls. The Strongwater Food & Spirits restaurant, where this moment was captured, has beautiful old windows from floor to ceiling, so all this photographer had to do was give the couple some general directions about where to stand, “and just like that, it was done!”

In post, Gluys applied a preset and checked for straight lines. Even though the shot was relatively simple to capture, “the biggest thing for me was positioning them correctly for a nice profile and accounting for nice symmetry and linearity.”

(Captured using a Nikon D800 with a Nikon 35mm f/1.4 lens.)
