Golden and blue hour in Santo Domingo: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Santo Domingo (18.4861, -69.9312) and the America/Santo_Domingo timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 29 minutes in March and 32 in December — schedule "an hour" and you are wrong in both.

Fitting the window into the shoot day
The evening window is the reliable half: the crew is warmed up, the setup exists, and golden hour is the last slot before wrap. The morning window right after sunrise (until 06:36 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 06:04.
After sunset, Santo Domingo still offers the blue hour: from 19:33 to 19:42 in June (9 minutes). If you need both looks on one evening, everything from the start of golden hour to the end of blue hour is one continuous window — with no room for a re-rig inside it.
