Hi,

My wedding ceremony starts at 5:00pm and the reception starts at 7:00pm lasting through 12:00am.  I have the photographer for 8 hours, what do you think is the best use of his time?
Thanks!
Kim

    It's unnecessary to have your photographer stay until the end of the reception.  Most actually leave after the cake is cut and the bouquet is thrown, assuming they already have enough table and dance floor pictures.  So maybe just work backwards from there.

    I wanted my photographer there until the very end (but we did a private last dance and a grand exit).  She even photographed us going up to our room (as you can see by my siggy pic). 

    If you are going to do any photos before the ceremony, then you will need to schedule the time for that and then work from there IMO.  Your photographer should be able to help you develop the timeline that works best for you.
