HOLA folks. Just a reminder for those of you coming from the USA or any other city / country that has extended its daylight savings. We are encountering clients who havent been advised by their hotel or just simply overlooked the time change difference in Mexico.
Facts are:
Daylight Saving Time in Mexico begins at 2:00 a.m. local time on the first Sunday in April. On the last Sunday in October areas on Daylight Saving Time fall back to Standard Time at 2:00 a.m. The names in each time zone change along with Daylight Saving Time. Central Standard Time (CST) becomes Central Daylight Time (CDT), and so forth. The state of Sonora does not observe Daylight Saving Time.
If you are getting married in the spring, this really applies to you! Point is, most hotels recommend a ceremony start time based on their best interest. This usually involves a total lack or concern as to the appropriate time needed (if photos are impt for you) after the ceremony.
We usually recommend to start your wedding 45 minutes to 60 minutes prior to the scheduled sunset, depending on wedding party size and post ceremony photo expectations. While every client has different needs, the time frame of 45-60 min prior to sunset will always serve your best interests (in our opinion) for the best light available---vs no light.
I took this photo at 5:34 pm last night. NO PHOTOSHOP, directly out of the camera :) Shot with my Canon Powershot P&S. You will get about the same light at this time in March, 2010. This means, you should start your ceremony (if you like sunset) around 4pm and no later! FYI.
