The secret to those glowing, timeless wedding photos is all in the timing. Because Melbourne is so far south, our daylight hours shift massively. Sunset can be as early as 5 PM in winter, or as late as 8:30 PM in the peak of summer!
Quick Tips:
Summer Weddings: Sneak out of your reception around 7:30 PM – 8:00 PM for a quick 15-minute ‘Golden Hour’ session. The light is dreamy, warm, and perfect for relaxed portraits.
Winter Weddings: Since the sun dips early, lock in your ceremony for around 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM so we have plenty of natural daylight afterward for family photos and portraits.
The Takeaway: Tailor your run-sheet to the season so you can relax, enjoy the party, and never feel rushed.
