Guide to Bali Weddings

What time should you have your wedding ceremony in Bali? From the moment I walked down the aisle and finished the ceremony it felt like I was racing against the clock to get the most sunlight possible. I'm sure most of you will have a similar story. So in order to fit it all in you need to minmise what you need to get done between ceremony and sunset. You will have a beautiful group of people (your family and friends) that will want to say congrats to you after the ceremony is over. Keep this to a minimum. Give them a big squeeze and then move to the next person, share with them that you'll get a chance to see them later or invite them to please come and find you for a dance. Photos will be next, normally family first. Its a great idea to have a small list of photos you want to achieve and then give the photographer the freedom to get creative, besides thats why you've usually hired them because you like their style. And if you're anything like me, you're trying to get back to enjoy a little sunshine during the cocktail hour. So, a lot to fit in. You can float the idea of a first look wedding shoot and grab some quick wedding shots before the ceremony or I've even been in a bridal party where all of the bridal photos happen before the wedding, it was so awesome as the bride and groom were barely gone for long after the ceremony. So, lots to think about, reach out of you need help.
