Riv Maya Time Change 2/1/15

That's a really short change, to March 8th?  If so, then it doesn't affect my wedding on the 14th (whew).

I'm not sure of your time zone but for me here on the east coast, yes a very short change. I find it really odd that they aren't doing Daylight Savings any longer. How random lol

I started to get a bit nervous but my WC actually emailed me just as I was thinking about it and told me about it and explained that because of my Daylight a Savings time, the time zones would only sync for about a month and then go back to an hour difference. She did mention that my ceremony may be warmer than it would have been previously, but I will also have more light for photos. She told me I could change the timeline if I wanted to, but at this point I have itineraries printed etc. and think more time for photos is a definite bonus.

I agree!  Especially as the sunset pictures in Cancun aren't as good as say Cabo, due to the sun setting in the west.  I think it'll also be good as the reception will have a little longer light, which is all good for pictures!

This is confusing me so much I feel dumb haha. Our ceremony is at 5 right now, so I should move it to 6 if I want the sun in the same position, right? Otherwise 5pm after February will be hotter than 5pm right now. 

@@marinah84 I thought I read that the time won't go back. Where did you read that it's only until March?

Hello wedding planners! This was a sudden change for everyone down here and there is still some confusion with some, don't be too hard on your coordinators.

 

This is a good thing, longer days, more sunlight! Basically we'll be on daylight savings all year to have some wonderful sun time. You may consider moving your times to get those sunset pics or avoid the heat, but do remember that if your date is during the "regular" daylight savings time, you won't be affected anyway. Sunset pictures are a bit more complicated here as we are on the east coast, but definitely possible to do! Your photographer should know the best time/place for that perfect photo. In Cancun, the lagoon offers INCREDIBLE sunsets!

It is sooo confusing!!! I consider myself a fairly intelligent person and I keep finding myself going...wait...what?!!! lol

but yes if you wanted the exact same sun position, effect, temperature...you would want to move it forward one hour. 

 

Sorry if I confused everyone about the March thing. I only meant that for me on the east coast, after March 8th it will go back to a one hour difference because we will move our clocks forward an hour. February 1st Quintana Roo will set their clocks to my time and never observe Daylight Savings so for about a month, that area of Mexico and Eastern Standard time will be the same. Then after March 8th Eastern time will be one hour later, so it will go back to what I am used to and it won't effect my flight times, just the ceremony temperature and sunlight.

@@nattiegams325 - What time is your ceremony at?

@@Matt Adcock - I book you guys (Debora) last year to photography my wedding on April 17th. Our ceremony is at 5:30 and we were going to do sunset portraits at 6. Do I need to try to get all of this changed? I am so confused!

If we've scheduled our photos for 5 pm to catch sunset photos, should I now move it to 6 pm? Our wedding is on January 23, 2016
