I just want to be married by the little bit of sunset light left in our start-to-summer day and candles. This means ceremony time is looking like 730 pm ish. Just enough time for a quick maybe 20 min ceremony and a few photos. I figured we would do a first look and a few couple photos earlier in the day. But then I got to thinking well we can do all formal and informal family photos after our first look couple photos too to help with wasting so much time after the ceremony. Both families typically eat pretty early like 5 and now were asking them to eat roughly 830-9, and the restaurant closes at 10 pm the latest...doesnt work.
So my idea is we get ready, do our first look, take our couple photos, have family come over to our backyard and we would spend time together, do formal and informal photos, apps and drinks. Think cocktail hour, except we get to actually spend time with our closest loved ones during this time. Then, this favorite local restaurant we love so much would cater dinner, right there, say 530-6ish. By the time dinner is over we would do our sunset ceremony, grab as many amazing light photos, light dessert and coffee and done! We are not doing cake cutting, dancing or any of that hullabaloo. Its all about us, our wedding, and our union of families.
Opinions, suggestions, tips? All greatly appreciated.
