i did the 5 hour package. Severine showed up early i'd say around 3 to my room, she was actually at the resort hours before looking for good places for pictures. my wedding was at 4. i didnt want any pics of me getting ready and i actually was running late for my wedding so i didnt have time to take any pics before with my bridesmaids. so she started shooting at 4. the wedding lasts about 15 minutes so by 430 we were taking pics of our group on the beach, than family pics, than guests did cocktail hour while dh and i did our pictures. than we were back to meet guests at cocktail hr, reception started around 6. the first dance is done right after the bride and groom are announced at reception, than the father/daughter dance, than the mother/son dance. cake cutting was probably around 9 and reception was over around 1030. the photog was there the whole time till the very end of reception. Maybe they can move the cake cutting up a little for you, that's the only thing i'd worry about missing. I think you can totally do it in 5 hours unless you want a lot of pictures before. Just let the photog now that you what you want pics of, i'm sure he/she can give you a heads up when they are going to leave so you could squeeze in the cake cutting real fast.
