Best Season to Shoot

All Seasons: Cafe Lane is suitable for pre-wedding photography throughout the year.

Best Time of Day

All Day: Cafe Lane is suitable for photography at any time. We recommend avoiding 11:00 - 13:00 as cafes are very crowded during lunch hours. Some cafes close by 4pm, so we recommend finishing your shoot by 4pm.
