Sunset
Ravine has some gorgeous spots for sunset photos that will make your day feel that much more special as the warm glow surrounds you. We aim to pull you away from your reception for around 10 to 15 minutes. Your day goes by so fast and taking a few photos at sunset gives you the opportunity to take a moment to reflect on how wonderful your wedding has been, all while getting some beautiful photos. After we are done capturing these photos, we love to step back inside the reception to give you two a moment to be truly alone together. You two have spent all day swept up by the excitement and all of the love given to you by your guests, it is time to take a moment together to celebrate what you have created together today!
