Timeline help

m_eblin

So I asked my wedding coordinator about a time line and she said I should talk to my photographer...okay I talked to my photographer and she said I should talk to my wedding coordinator and she'll just show up when I want her to.  I have a 4 hour photography package and we wanted to get married at sunset, or around a time so we can have day/sunset pictures.  I guess we'll do the ceremony around 6pm since sunset is 7:30 in July....does that make sense to do?  Does anybody have some sort of time line I could go off of?

I'm getting married at 5:30 pm.  I got the same run around with coordinator and photographer but finally got them both to agree that 5:30 for the ceremony, then pictures afterwards.  The photographer said he could take pictures up to 15 minutes before and after sunset.  Hopefully it will all work out well.   Hope this helps in some small way.
