Photography light

November gives 10.5 hours of daylight and about 4 hours of direct sun per day, so a late-afternoon ceremony puts portraits inside golden hour rather than after it.

Month to avoid

Ceremony timing in November

Evening temperature 20% Modelled reception-hour temperature against an 18°C ideal for an outdoor evening.
