Planning your wedding day can be a daunting task, especially when considering the ever-changing seasons to decide on a final date. With daylight savings time potentially on its way out, many brides find themselves planning fall weddings based on summer daylight. To ensure your day goes smoothly, it's crucial to enlist the help of your photographer and wedding planner. We're here to guide you in making the right decisions for your ceremony time, family photos, golden hour, and whether to opt for an outdoor or indoor venue. This is all in order to maximize your time and ensure you receive the very best photos! 

Living in Charlotte, NC, we're all too familiar with the unpredictable nature of our summers. The sweltering heat and humidity, coupled with sporadic rain showers, can throw a wrench in even the most air-tight plans. However, with the longer days, we can often work around these challenges. The spring and fall seasons, on the other hand, present their own set of obstacles. When it rains, it pours, and the days get shorter – making it trickier to navigate both the weather AND timing.
