Best Hours for the Perfect Daylight Photos in Melbourne

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.
