Any of you having an evening wedding? If so, what is your timeline looking like? Im trying to figure mine out and I dont know what's the latest I can do my ceremony in order to get daylight pics? What time does the sun go down in May?

Re: MAY GIRLS!!!!
This might help a bit. The sun sets pretty late in May (after 6:30PM)
our ceremony is at 3:00pm and will most likely be over by 4:00. We are going to do a few pics at the church and then we are going to a separate location with the BP to take pics before heading over to the RH. We can't be at the RH until around 6:15. I am going to ask the immediate family to be at the RH around 6:30 so we can start taking pictures and get them over with before the CH starts at 7:00. I am going to tell the photog that I would like some sunset shots (if possible) with FH and I only.

Re: MAY GIRLS!!!!
I'm getting married May 21.
Ceremony at 6:30. Cocktails at 7. Reception at 8.
We're taking pics before the ceremony, so for me, I don't really care about the ceremony being in total daylight. I kinda like the idea of doing it at dusk with some candles!

My ceremony is at 3pm. CH starts at 6. Reception goes until 11. The sunset late in May. So I can take pictures outside for a while.

go to sunrisesunset.com :)
thats what i based my entire day off of lol my church is at 3 and CH is 7:30 - sun sets @ 8:10 so we will get pulled out for about 5 min at the end of CH (which is about the time we would get pulled out anyway to get ready for our entrance) for a few sunset pics and then we will be done!

Re: MAY GIRLS!!!!
We are having a 6pm ceremony. The best lighting is about an hour before sunset. We asked for input from the photographer, we were torn between 5 and 6 and they said definitely do 6. Our pics are before the ceremony though, so we have lots of light.

Re: MAY GIRLS!!!!
Thank you girls!!! I was sooo worried because I thought my ceremony was too late and being that its a friday with rush hour, i probably wouldnt be able to take pics till 7. But if it sets so late then i stand a chance!
As of right now, my ceremony is at 5-5:30. By the time the we're done taking pics with fam and the recieving line it will be 6:00 ... by the time we get to the hall with traffic, maybe close to 7. that still gives us an hour and a half before CH because its from 8:30-1:30
we dont plan to be a part of the CH so maybe i should push my ceremony back? because what will be do between 7PM and 9:30PM when reception starts?
