what time??

Hey ladies.....I'm getting closer and my photographer wants to know what time she should arrive.  Our wedding is at 6:30pm and i want her to take photos of me and FI getting ready, and we are going to do a reveal and try to get the bridal party photos out of the way before guests start arriving, because if they come to the location (it's outdoors) they will see us taking photos and I don't want that to happen!  Any suggestions please!

    My ceremony was at 7 and here was our timeline:
    Photographer to arrive at 4 (but she came at 3:30)
    Bride to dress at 4
    Reveal 4:30
    Pictures to begin at 5 and end at 6

    We were about 15 minutes off schedule and at 6 we were still taking pictures and a few of our guests did arrive.  So you might want to pad this a little and make sure you stay on schedule.  You might want to ask your venue as they may have a rule on this also.  I wish I had moved everything up by say a half hour because we ended up having to rush.
