Wedding suit advice

Getting married in July and looking for some suit advice. Taking pictures outside (mid 70s temp), reception/ceremony inside. Friends are married and won't need one for work so this might be a one time thing. I'm not sure I'll be able to find a perfect fitting rental, so I was thinking of buying a $500-600 suit (plus I may need it at some point). I've heard good things about suit supply, was thinking of picking up a wool suit and getting it tailored at a local place. Color wise, perhaps charcoal gray or navy with cognac shoes. Any recommendations? Thanks

edit: This gray/window pane caught my eye.

Spier & Mackay or suitsupply best bets in that price range.

July in northern hemisphere would make a dark grey suit a tad out of place. I would do light grey windowpane. But that is me, dark suits in summer make me psychologically hotter in Texas even if I manage to stay in the shade and aircon'd places.
