Golden hour is not the same length all year in Pasadena. It is longest in December at about 36 minutes and shortest in September at about 31 minutes — a difference of 5 minutes of usable warm light per evening.
Pasadena gets 3h 48m more daylight on the longest day than the shortest. Sunset moves from 5:23 PM in December to 8:22 PM in June, so an evening shoot that works in summer will be shooting in the dark at the same clock time in winter.
Blue hour follows sunset and is worth planning for separately: in June it runs until about 8:50 PM, and in December until about 5:49 PM.
Golden hour is the period near sunrise and sunset when the sun is low. Blue hour occurs before sunrise and after sunset. Calculated times vary with location and date; weather, terrain and buildings can affect visible light.
