Visit official websiteLocal planning context
Sydney’s location can change the useful hour
A harbour edge, eastern beach, shaded inner-west street and western Sydney field do not share the same horizon or wind exposure. Confirm whether the photographer’s suggested location keeps direct light until the listed sunset and whether parking or walking time affects young children.
Coastal wind and a southerly change comfort quickly. For an outdoor session, check the selected hour rather than the daily maximum and ask for a wet-weather or in-home alternative.

- Confirm travel coverage across Sydney and any location surcharge.
