Garden ceremonies run on light. Plan the processional for the hour when shadows soften — usually ninety minutes before sunset — so vows land in that warm, even glow photographers love.
Keep the timeline loose where it matters: ten unhurried minutes after the ceremony for portraits, seating that faces the view, and music that carries without amplification across lawns.
Always hold a wet-weather twin of the plan. A clear tent, a stack of parasols, and a confident coordinator turn a rain shower into a story you will tell happily for decades.
