These timelines will again only work if a second photographer is there on your wedding day, and the ceremony and reception are at the same venue. Hair started at 11:30, we had a first look, managed to get ALL the photos done before the ceremony (including family formals), and by 6:30 most of our guests had dinner on their plates! Here’s the sample timelines for summer weddings. I had a 5:30 ceremony and it was absolutely perfect. In order to keep dinner in mind for your guests, the easy answer for a ceremony start time is simple during the summer months, and that’s 5:30. SummerĮverybody loves Summer, and it’s more than just the warm weather, it’s the long days that comes with this glorious season! We’re looking at sunset times ranging from 7:30 to 8:30 (May to August) The Bridal Party can be photographed quickly and effectively. **This timeline works best when there are two photographers. ![]() Here’s two timelines for a spring ceremony with a first look. This makes it nice because with a later ceremony start time, it allows you to relax a little more in the morning instead of being rushed with hair and makeup. If you have a first look, you could start your Ceremony an hour later, if not two hours later. This timeline is ideal for a wedding day where the ceremony and reception are on the same property. Keep in mind, this does NOT include any drivetime. If your ceremony is in September, you could do a 3:30 start time since the sunset is about 7:30. A sample timeline post ceremony would look something like this: If you don’t have a first look, a ceremony start time appropriate for the two seasons (February-April & late September – November) would be around 2:30. Sunset at the end of September is around 7:30, in October it’s around 6:30, and after our time change in November we’re looking at 5:30. And then halfway through, we have our time change, so sunset will be around 7:30. The sunsets a little after 6 at the beginning of March. ![]() So here are some suggested times to have a ceremony based on Seasons in the Cleveland, Ohio area! Spring/Fall If the couple isn’t doing a first look, it’s important that the photographer has plenty of time for outside photos for Bridal Party, and then Bridal Portraits – the most important photos of the day in my honest opinion. It the fall/winter, the sun will start setting relatively early, or extremely early if we’re into the winter months. You’ll want to think about the timing of the sunset. It’s an old superstition that the couple will have good luck with they are married on the upswing of the hour.ĭepending on the season will depend on when I suggest the ceremony to start. Most Brides stick with a half hour start time on the up swing of the clock. It allows me help my Brides have a successful, stress-free day from the start! And we make sure the day is stress-free by having the perfect ceremony start times! As I’m meeting with my 2016 Brides and we’re talking timelines, the first question I ask is “what time is your ceremony?” Many brides don’t have a solid time just yet, and this actually makes me happy.
