Day of timeline

Hi Everyone - I'm new to posting and we are two weeks before our wedding. Eek!
Could anyone give me an idea about a pre-wedding ceremony timeline? Our ceremony starts at 5:00 pm (really more like 5:15) and I am at  a loss as to when I should be ready for photos and what to tell my makeup and hair people. My FH and I are seeing each other before the ceremony and all the photos will be taken at the location. Should I be ready by 3:00? Thanks in advance for your help!

    For my timeline, I spoke with my hair and makeup people to see how long it would take them (for me and all of my BM) and added about 30 minutes to be safe.  Then I spoke with my photographer and asked him to give me an approximate timeframe for all the pictures I wanted.  I figured they are the professionals and have done this before.

    Hi - thanks for your advice. Do you remember how long the various pre-ceremony photos took? Do they take over an hour?

    I didn't see my husband before the ceremony but pictures with my BM and my parents took about a little more than an hour.  We also had two photographers, one to photograph me and my girls and one to photograph DH and his guys.

    I was ready by about 1:30, but we left by 2 to have pictures done at another location. And frankly, we were back and at the ceremony site by 4:30 for a 5:30 ceremony. I'd ask your photographer, though, about how much time he/she needs.
