If you can tell us what shrubs you want to prune, we can offer advice on when and how
Hedging can really be done whenever it needs doing - the only time to avoid is spring when birds are nesting, and if they're also nesting later on [many small birds have several clutches through the year] you'd have to carefully check for nests first before you start
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Prune after flowering.
Prune when you are in the mood.
