Some of the most breathtaking wedding portraits aren’t captured during the ceremony or reception, but in the quiet moments at dusk or late into the evening when the light has faded. Couples in Atlanta who want wedding images with drama, artistry, and a truly signature style often fall in love with Jaimie Dee Photography’s twilight, backlit, and nighttime portraits.

This distinctive approach uses creative lighting techniques to transform ordinary settings into cinematic, magazine-worthy images — even in the dark. These portraits don’t just document the wedding day — they create artwork that couples will cherish for a lifetime. By blending emotion, timing, and technical mastery, Jaimie and Kyle deliver images that feel iconic, whether taken at sunset or under the stars.

As one bride shared, “Our wedding photos look like us in the best way possible. They captured our dynamic, our silliness, and of course our love for each other. I particularly love Jaimie’s specialty–the backlit, twilight portraits. These are hands down the best pictures I’ve ever seen of us, and they’re a beautiful and unique wedding portrait!” — Rhiannon Youngbauer (read more reviews)

Twilight Wedding Photos at Blue Hour

Just after sunset, the sky settles into a deep, velvety blue that lasts only a short while, and it is one of our favorite parts of the evening for portraits.

Backlit Wedding Photos That Glow

When the light comes from behind you, it outlines your silhouettes, catches the edges of a veil or gown and turns an archway or doorway into a frame of light.

Backlit wedding photos feel romantic and a little mysterious, which makes them a beautiful way to remember a quiet kiss at the end of the night.

Dramatic Evening Ceremonies and Portraits

Evening ceremonies bring their own sense of drama, with lights glowing in the greenery as the sky darkens around you and your guests.

Once the sun is down, our creative lighting keeps you bright and clear while a glowing gazebo or a lit-up venue sets the scene behind you, so your night wedding portraits feel dramatic while still looking like you.
