Light and timing for the photos
Stone
Stone façades reward the low side light of early morning or late afternoon. At midday it is best to look for the shade of an arch, a porch or the gallery.
Interiors
Living rooms and staircases tend to have small windows. There I work with the light that comes in and without direct flash, so the stone and the wood keep their colour.
The garden
Couple portraits work best in the last hour before sunset. It is worth leaving twenty minutes free in the schedule for that moment.
Sunset in central Asturias
- Aprilaround 9.10 pm
- Junearound 10.05 pm
- Septemberaround 8.45 pm
- Decemberaround 5.55 pm
Official and approximate time. Further east it comes a few minutes earlier. I take the couple portraits about twenty minutes before sunset.
The engagement session, nearby
Meres is in Siero, ten minutes from Oviedo. I know the municipality from my work in Valdesoto, and Oviedo is close by for the engagement session.
The pre-wedding is included in the Alma and Eternidad packs, in Asturias.
