Okay so I really want to have my wedding around the time the sun is going down.  Not when it gets dark just when it isn't so bright.  I want to have candles down the aisle and what not.  I don't have a set photographer yet otherwise I would just ask them.  My questions is will there be any problems with getting good pictures during the ceremony with the lack of lighting from the sun? Oh it is out side.

    If the sun is very low in the sky yet still above the horizon, you will have a gorgeous golden light that will make your photos beautiful (this is when I'm having my ceremony). 

    If the sun is below the horizon, then things will be a bit more blue in color.  You should still have enough ambient light to get some good shots, but your photographer will need to have knowledge of and equipment for low-light situations, so make sure you choose a photographer who can do that!  Remember that the longer the ceremony goes, the darker it will get and a bright flash might need to be used in order to see your faces.  (However, if there happens to be a few fluffy clouds in the sky that night, you could also end up with some great color in the sky.)
