timeline help!

i am trying to put together a timeline that will fit my photographer's time frame. how long should i allow for a buffet dinner for 180 people? i am planning on having my photographer for 6 hours, from 1-7.

1:00 meet at the
church
2:00 ceremony starts
2:30/2:45 ceremony ends
2:30 family pictures
3:00 leave for off-site pictures
4:00 arrive at reception

after that, i am not sure how to plan out the night (for dances, dinner, cake cutting, etc)

    Not sure if this will be helpful, but I was told for my wedding dinner would take 1.5 hours.  I'm not doing a buffet and guests will chose their dinner tableside, 4 courses total for 120 people.
