Ceremony vs reception start times?

While having everything in one location is ideal, some people have a certain vision for the ceremony or reception that doesn't always work at both venue options. Or it requires long travel time for everyone to an all-in-one venue.


In the situation that you had each at different locations, what was the starting time of each, taking into account getting pictures done and travel to the reception?
As an example, say you wanted an outdoor woodsy ceremony with pictures taken there before reception. A local public park offers that but they only market their options as being everything in one location, no ceremony only options. Or drive an hour away to $$$ all in one venue. The park and similar closer locations don't let you start before 5pm. Which means a late start time to the reception and unless you have a venue with an after midnight closing time, not alot of time to party, especially with most travelling out of state anyway so they're not coming in straight from work. Or nix the outdoor ceremony and have it all at the reception venue, but what do you do about pictures?
What were your start times for ceremony and reception and did your guests have to travel between the two?
