Hi ladies, I was at the mansion this weekend checking the lighting situation for the courtyard. The sunset time for me is around 7:30 (same as this week) so at 8 when the ceremony will end, it's is kinda dark there. There are only a few lights that don't help. I'm more concerned with the pictures coming out too dark (especially for that first kiss). It seems there used to be 2 lights right above the alter that have been removed. If they were there, I wouldn't have a problem. Have you ladies thought about this? What are you doing? There are no outlets outside, so I may have to run an extension cord from inside, but I don't even know what kind of light to use. I don't know. What are your thoughts? Past brides, what did you do?
For those of you getting married in June or July, you won't have a problem since the sunset time is around 8.
