The Black Sea destination, and the only one of the four where the sun sets into the water.
The ceremony here is set by the light over the water: the sunset is visible whole, with no mountains cutting off the last hour. So the timing of the day is counted from sunset rather than from a convenient slot in the schedule.
Because of the western longitude the sun sets here almost a quarter of an hour later than in Tbilisi, and the whole window of soft light shifts with it. The difference is small, but in a day tied to the light those minutes show.
Guests are brought in a day early: it is five to six hours from Tbilisi by road, or a domestic flight, and a journey that long does not fit into the day of the event.
Sunset matters not as the time of the ceremony but as the edge of the light. Two windows are counted from it: the soft colour a ceremony sits well in, and the golden hour we keep free for the shoot. Computed for the 15th of each month, local sunset.
The ceremony goes into the first window — roughly 3:30 to 1:00 before sunset. We have no «only at sunset» rule: that is a special case, not a script.
On request: the figure depends on the venue and on how the guests arrive — by road or on a domestic flight.
May, June and September: the city is calmer and prices are lower than at the peak. Coastal weather is unpredictable in any case, so a fallback is always needed.
Five to six hours from Tbilisi, or a domestic flight. We plan the journey for the day before — a drive that long does not fit into the day of the event.
