Does anyone know of a good website to find out the sunset time for a date in the future? TIA!

    It should be pretty close to what you need depending on where you're getting married :)

    Awesome! Thank you!

    Do you know how close it has to be to that time to get the same effect of sunset for pictures? Seriously- there are just too many factors to consider when making a wedding day timeline! LOL!

    Well, the DNR website that I gave you tells you when it is light and dark.  For an actual sunset pic, it will depend on your surroundings (field, trees, hills, etc).  I would suggest taking some time to go to the location you want to do the pics at and see at what time the sun does what you want it to do.  Then, see what the projected sunset time is and see what the difference is :)

    If you want the actual bright glowing ball on the horizon, assuming you are in an open area, not too high in elevation or in an urban area-15 minutes before sunset. If you want the glowing yellow "magic hour light" the best time is 45 minutes before sunset -15 minutes after sunset. 

    But I would definitely go to the location a week or so before the date around the listed sunset and make sure.

    Thank you! I am not concerned with having the actual sunset in the background (reception and everything is at my parents house which is surrounded by bluffs) but I wanted the "magic hour" lighting. Thank you so much!!

    This.  But if you go there a week or so before you will need to adjust the timing a bit.  If I remember right, it changes 1 minute-ish a day until the solstice and then gets 1 min earlier.
