why sunrise is my favorite time to do beach photos

Being a photographer at the beach, I only shoot at sunrise and golden hour. both beautiful times, but personally, sunrise is my favorite. The sun rises over the ocean, it's beautiful, peaceful, much less crowded. The skies give the best colors and silhouette shots. #photography #beachsunrises #couples #silhouette #photographer
