Time for an outdoor ceremony?

We're getting married outside in May. I was thinking starting the ceremony at 7, but that doesn't leave us much time to do pictures before the sun goes down. I can't remember what the weather is like in May, what's the temperature usually like around 6 or 7?

i normally recommend scheduling ceremony an hour and a half before sunset.

I got married in May and had our ceremony at 5pm.

Depending on how you feel, you could always do pictures before hand.  We did that.  Hubby and I met on the beach for a first look. Took a few photos then had our bridal party and parents join us.  We took everything else after the ceremony while everyone went inside. We also did photos on the beach at sunset durning the reception.

If not, I think moving your ceremony up at least an hour should give you enough time to get some nice pictures in on the beach before you loose too much light.

We are doing ours at 5:30 (we aren't doing a first look... my mom is really set against it) on 4/30 after discussing it with our photographer to have the time for pictures after the ceremony.
