AFTER-WEDDING PHOTO SHOOT BY THE LAKE NEAR AURICH
An autumn evening by the water
On a sunny October evening, I met up with two lovely people for their after-wedding photoshoot by a lake near Aurich.
Their wedding had taken place just a few months earlier. As the sun slowly disappeared behind the trees, they slipped back into their wedding outfits and enjoyed their time together.
Even before their wedding, they had deliberately decided to have an after-wedding photo shoot. They wanted to create more memories – without any time pressure and in a completely relaxed atmosphere – at a location that suited them perfectly.
As we strolled along the water’s edge, the couple reminisced about their big day. The warm light of the autumn evening was reflected on the lake, creating a very special atmosphere.
The result was a series of natural photographs full of lightness, intimacy and genuine emotion.
“Hilke managed to put us at ease straight away. She was incredibly helpful, showing us a photo every now and then, which really motivated us, and it was great fun.”

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR FOR AN AFTER-WEDDING PHOTO SHOOT?
Many couples wonder when the right time for an after-wedding photoshoot actually is. The answer is simple: whenever it feels right for you.
One of the big advantages of an after-wedding photoshoot is that you aren’t tied to your wedding day. Instead, you can choose the time of year that best suits your preferences.
In spring, blossoming landscapes provide fresh and vibrant images. Summer brings long evenings and warm temperatures. In autumn, the golden light and warm colours create particularly atmospheric shots. And even winter, with its tranquillity and clarity, has a magic all of its own.
Many couples deliberately choose a different season to the one in which they got married. This creates memories in a completely new atmosphere, and the pictures are very different from their wedding photos.
This photoshoot by the lake near Aurich took place in October. The low-hanging sun, the autumnal colours and the tranquil atmosphere by the water created the perfect conditions for natural couple photos.
The best time of year is therefore the one that best reflects you and your story.
AFTER-WEDDING PHOTO SHOOT AT SUNSET – WHY EVENING LIGHT IS SO POPULAR
Many of my after-wedding photo shoots take place around sunset. At this time of day, the warm evening light creates particularly natural photos of the couple and a relaxed atmosphere.
Photographers often refer to this as the ‘golden hour’. The sun is low in the sky, the colours appear warmer and the surroundings take on a special sense of tranquillity. This is particularly true for after-wedding photo shoots in natural settings, where the result is atmospheric shots with a truly special effect.
This after-wedding photoshoot by the lake also took place in the evening. As the sun slowly disappeared behind the trees, we captured natural photos of the couple, full of intimacy and emotion.
For anyone looking for soft light, warm colours and a peaceful atmosphere, an after-wedding photoshoot at sunset is often the ideal choice.
