A beach wedding is meant to get you in your natural element, and this also makes you look more natural in the pictures. The sea is known for its effect to calm your anxious nerves. And that is probably why the pictures taken with beach wedding photography are so successful.
And then, calming gets pushed away by the wilde side..

As a Destin, Florida photography studio owner, I am generally kept busy with people who are looking for a good photographer for weddings, parties and babies. I generally enjoy my work, but every now and then something truly unusual comes along that makes me question the sanity of my clients.
My favorite client story has to be the time I was asked to shoot at underwater wedding. I guess a lot of photographers from the Destin area had turned the job down. Not me though! I am game for just about anything. I figured I would be all right. Resources

When we married the first time, money was very tight, so we had one of the budget beach weddings in Destin, Florida. This time, I did not need to look for an inexpensive wedding package. We were comfortable enough to hire a wedding planner and have the vow renewals ceremony of our dreams.
My husband has a very unique hobby; he participates in sand castle competitions. He and several friends travel to two or three competitions each year.
