What time should your wedding ceremony start?
Use your wedding date and location to calculate local sunset and get a photographer-informed ceremony-time starting point that protects the light and gives the rest of your day room to breathe.
Tell me where and when.
I’ll calculate sunset in the correct local timezone and work backwards to a strong ceremony starting point.
Where should I send your result?

Why about three hours before sunset?
This gives the day room for the ceremony, congratulations, efficient family photographs, time with your guests and a focused portrait session around the best light. It is a strong starting point, not a rigid rule — your venue, ceremony style and priorities can shift it.
