Daylight savings time can really alter a bride's view of her wedding day. Especially after she has been planning her wedding for months. The super early sunset can put quite a damper on the thoughts of what her wedding will look like. So in steps the photographer to let her know all will be okay.

Amanda's ceremony was to start just 40 minutes before sunset, leaving little time for daylight photos. We tweaked her timeline to ensure she could have some outdoor photos with her new husband before it became completely dark outside and then took care of the bridal party and family photos after. This worked great for their family. Since the ceremony and reception were both at The Dairy Barn, and their amazing coordinator Laura Griffin from Creative Solutions was fabulous at keeping everyone on track, we were able to get all the photos they wanted without having to sacrifice.
