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 04:48 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 03:32.
After sunset, Stockholm still offers the blue hour: from 22:53 to 23:36 in June (42 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.
