My micro-wedding is in the Northeast (US) in January, so it will be really cold! Sunset is at 4:45pm but the venue is in the mountains so it will probably get darker a little earlier than that. My photographer suggested 2:45pm-4:15pm would be the best time for photos, so I'm just trying to figure out a timeline that makes sense. I want to do a few pictures outside but realistically they will probably be mostly inside because of the weather, so I'm not sure how important daylight is. I'm just really lost & need advice! What do you think of this?
3:15pm - 3:45pm - family pictures (not sure how this works/who is in these pictures but I see it in other timelines)
3:45pm - 4:30pm - first look & bride/groom pictures
4:30pm - 5pm - pre-ceremony toast/snacks (the venue is a long drive from home so I want a buffer of time before the ceremony)
5pm - 5:30pm - ceremony
5:30pm - 6:30pm - cocktail hour
6:30pm - 8pm - dinner
8pm - 9:30pm cake, dancing
We can extend the timeline past 9:30pm but since it's a micro wedding I'm not sure how much dancing we will want to be doing
