Best time of the day have pics taken at the beach

I'm worried about this 'cause if my ceremony is at 6:30 P.M I would have to have the pics taken like at 5 or 4:30.. do you thinks it's too early?

what's the best time?

I don't think that's to early. The worst time is 11-3 where the sun is pretty much directly overhead.

anny - whos your photographer? i would ask them. one thing i would suggest if i were shooting it is instead of doing one longer couples shoot, do about 15-20 minutes of shooting before the ceremony and then about 15-20 minutes after - that way you get pics with both lighting conditions.

how long is your ceremony? that time of year the sun will be setting around 8:30? - so the hour or so before would be great. personally i like shooting in bright light too. if you take a look at this album you can see both kinds of lighting -

- go about 7 pages in and see their first meeting - bright sunlight vivid colors. all through the ceremony too. look at the pic of them leaving the ceremony. now go past those a few pages and you will see the light in the hour before sunset. softer more even light. both are fine with me and doable.

hth!

Juan Carlos recommended that we have our ceremony at least 2 hrs before sunset so we have plenty of light for pics. I don't think that's too early. We're probably doing our ceremony at 5pm.

The problem is I don't know the time the ceremony will be (yet).. I'll definetly ask my photographer (cancunstudios) 'cause I don'r really know the time the sun sets..

Thanx Leigh!
