Twelve months of Bureau of Meteorology averages from the Cessnock Airport AWS station, with the popular wedding months in rose. Sunset times are worked out for the 15th of each month, daylight saving included.
Golden hour is when the best guest photos happen. Put the code where guests gather for it, not only on the tables.
Apple rates the iPhone for use between 0 and 35°C. January averages 30°C in the Hunter Valley, and a phone in full sun runs hotter than the air around it. Put the QR sign in the shade and tell guests the upload can wait until they are inside.

The venue types couples book most in and around the Hunter Valley, and where the code goes at each, so guests see it when their phones are already out.
Guests move from the ceremony lawn to the barrel room to the long table. A code at each stop saves the walk back.

A common Hunter Valley venue typeThe Hunter Valley runs on AEST, UTC+10 in winter and UTC+11 once daylight saving starts in October. Most interstate guests fly into Newcastle Airport (NTL). About 170 km, roughly 2 hours from Sydney (Visit NSW).
Time zones and daylight saving dates: australia.gov.au, time zones and daylight saving. Daylight saving runs from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April in NSW, Victoria, the ACT, Tasmania and South Australia.
Visit NSW puts the fastest route at about two hours on the M1, or two and a half through Wollombi on the scenic drive. Carpooling guests take plenty of photos on the way, so send the album link with the directions.
Visit NSW, getting to the Hunter ValleyWith guests staying two or three nights, a Hunter wedding has more moments than the day itself: welcome drinks, a cellar door afternoon, the recovery breakfast. One album holds all of it.
You can point a QR code at a shared folder for nothing. Plenty of Hunter Valley couples try it first, so here is how it works and what to test before you print.
This walkthrough builds a QR code that points at a shared photo folder. It works. The catch shows up at the reception: a generic link opens a folder or an app sign-in, and that is where guests give up.
If you go this way, test the code on an iPhone and an Android before you print. Want the cards without the setup? Our free QR card designer makes print-ready table cards, and the QR code guide covers sizes and wording.

Print one QR code on a welcome sign and a card for each table. Guests scan it with the phone camera, the album opens in the browser, and they pick photos and videos to upload. Nobody downloads an app or makes an account. With Pix Wedding the first 20 uploads are free, then A$67 once covers unlimited guests and uploads.
Couples favour March to May and September to November. Across those months the Bureau of Meteorology's Cessnock Airport AWS station averages highs of 21 to 27°C and 6 to 8 rain days a month, and sunset on the 15th falls between 5:05pm and 7:33pm. The wettest month in the long-term averages is March, with 8 rain days.
Apple rates the iPhone for use between 0 and 35°C. The Hunter Valley's warmest month, January, averages a 30°C high and the coolest, July, 18°C. In direct sun a phone heats up past the air temperature, so keep the QR sign in the shade. Photos stay on the phone, so guests can upload later either way.
Twice: on the wedding website before they travel, and by text the morning after the wedding. Time zones matter here. At 4pm in the Hunter Valley in March, it is 1:00pm in Perth. On Starter, uploads stay open for 3 months after the date, so nobody is rushed.
Yes. The album is open from the moment you create it, so welcome drinks on Friday count too. On Starter uploads stay open for 3 months after the date, and you can download everything as a ZIP.
About 170 km, roughly two hours on the M1 according to Visit NSW, or two and a half hours on the scenic route through Wollombi. Guests flying in from elsewhere can land at Newcastle Airport, the closest major airport.
