Best time of day for photos at Sea Breeze Point Ceremony

[MoPR]

Hello all! My fiance and I are just about to book our wedding day in May at Sea Breeze Point! We're undecided between the 9:30 am or the 12 pm ceremony, and we are basing it on the best lighting for pictures. In your experiences, did anyone have washed out backgrounds because of the bright sunlight/ shadow angles? Or were you very happy with the backgrounds of your pictures turning out at a certain time of day? (We're trying to stay away from afternoon ceremony times because of a higher chance of rain). Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

A photographer will tell you that morning and evening are best for photos. The noon sun casts harsh shadows, you get all squinty in the photos... it can be a challenge.

This episode of the podcast talks more about it, but... I would recommend 9:30! https://disneyweddingpodcast.com/2013/11/20/how-to-choose-a-wedding-photographer/

Thank you so much, @lurkyloo ! This is very helpful advice, and this podcast episode gave me a lot of good ideas to consider. I appreciate it! 9:30 it is!

I agree, I'd go with 930a vs. 12n. Temps will be at the warmest ( typically ) and sun will be the sharpest. You may also get lucky and it may be a bit less crowded in the area at 930a too.

Thank you, @Wild4Walt ! These are some great points, and I think 9:30 is the best way to go. I appreciate it!
