Best Time of Year to Shoot
Bangladesh’s climate dictates the ideal photography windows:
- ✓November – February: Best season. Cool, dry, clear skies. Golden hour light is extraordinary.
- ✓March – April: Warm and hazy. Works for early morning shoots before 9am.
- ✓May – September: Monsoon season. Rain creates dramatic moody images but requires waterproof gear.
- ✓October: Post-monsoon green everywhere. Excellent for lush garden sessions.

Golden Hour: The Secret Weapon
The hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset, known as golden hour, transforms ordinary outdoor locations into magical scenes. At ChitroKuthir Weddings, we schedule all outdoor portrait sessions around golden hour whenever possible. The warm, directional light wraps around subjects beautifully and requires no artificial lighting.

What to Wear
- ✓Avoid pure white or pure black in harsh midday sun, both lose detail
- ✓Deep jewel tones (burgundy, teal, forest green) photograph exceptionally well against natural backgrounds
- ✓Lightweight, breathable fabrics prevent heat discomfort during longer sessions
- ✓Bride: consider a second *simple saree or salwar* for outdoor portrait sessions

Backup Plans for Outdoor Sessions
Weather in Bangladesh can shift fast, so every outdoor booking gets a fallback built in before the day arrives rather than decided on the spot.
- ✓We scout a covered alternative at each outdoor venue, a veranda, hall entrance, or nearby indoor space, so the session isn't lost to a sudden downpour
- ✓Equipment is weather-sealed or bagged on location shoots, rain covers and lens cloths travel with the team as standard, not as an add-on
- ✓We build a shorter reserve list of shots ranked by priority, so if time or light runs out, the most important portraits are captured first
- ✓A same-week reschedule window is offered free for outdoor-only sessions if weather makes the location unworkable
