A woman in a floral dress before the sunrise balloons ≈ 05:30 – 08:00

Sunrise

Hundreds of balloons, all at once.

As the sky turns from blue hour to golden, the balloons rise together; the fullest, softest twenty minutes of the year.

Sunset

Shadows stretch, colour turns to copper.

The warm afternoon light, calmer, more poetic frames. Not a morning person? At sunset the valleys are all yours.

What to expect

What to expect on your shoot day.

  • Flexibility if balloons are cancelled

    If the cancellation is known the day before and the shoot has not started, the date can be changed free of charge; we can also continue without balloons.

  • Two lights, one shoot

    Blue hour and golden hour: two light palettes in one morning.

  • Crowd-free sunset

    Not a morning person? At sunset the valleys are all yours.

  • The viral frame

    Horses running into the sun: the shot everyone asks about.
