Time for light
Book the session during golden hour (just after sunrise or before sunset) to avoid harsh midday shadows and busy foot traffic.
Arrive early

Watch for pedestrians
Stay aware of bike lanes and pedestrian flow on the bridge; avoid staging in the middle of the walkway to keep the shoot safe and legal.
Minimal gear
If you bring props or lighting, confirm with the photographer ahead of time—permits may be needed for large setups.
Comfortable walking shoes
For getting between spots and standing during the shoot without sore feet.
Lightweight layers
Temperatures on the riverfront change fast—bring a jacket you can remove quickly between shots.
