Reasons to Use an Actual Beach Wedding Photographer

We’ve recently blogged about ideas for capturing the best beach wedding photo poses. However, let’s talk about why you should hire a professional beach wedding photographer for the job. Our culture’s obsession with social media and selfies has prompted big companies (like that one with the fruit with a bite taken out, ahem) to make cell phones with better cameras than most professionals had ten years ago. However, your friend’s iPhone vs. a professional beach wedding photographer is a serious consideration for your special day. Further, we’d like to discuss why an experienced, outdoor wedding photographer is the best (and very affordable choice) for your Florida destination wedding.

Professional Beach Wedding Photographer: The Right Choice

Experience:

Our beach wedding photographers have done hundreds of outdoor weddings by the sand and sea. Our professional wedding photographers know just how to pose you and your partner to get the best pictures. In fact, Forever In Love professional photographers have now joined the Florida Beach Weddings team! We are experienced with the bright lighting on the beach: the sun, the glare, the sparkling water and most importantly, the sunsets. Not an easy task when you only have a few precious moments to get a shot. We also know how to deal with the sea breeze blowing around your wedding dress and hair, or if there is precipitation coming and the light is low. Some of our most wonderful photographs include interesting cloud formations off the Florida coast. It doesn’t matter if it is a small group of family and friends or a larger wedding party. We complete the photography session with smiles, laughter and natural love showing between for our beach bride and groom.  Check out photos from some of previous weddings.

Photography is included in some of our smaller, elopement packages such as Heart In The Sand. For larger wedding packages, you can add an hour of extra photography time at the ceremony site. You can get many extra photographs with special poses: this will include the wedding ceremony, some photos with your immediate family members, bridal party photos and photos of you and your spouse down by the water.

Unique photos:

Our beach wedding company takes advantage of all nature and our beach parks have to offer: dunes, walkways, water, sea oats, rocks and piers. We capture the vibrant colors of the landscape and can also do black and white photography to bring different feel, mood and emotion into the wedding picture. We take care to capture the essence of your love for each other, and the joy of each moment. If you have children, we can include them in the sand ceremony and other photos.

Best Beach Wedding Photos: Real Couples Pose

When planning an inexpensive wedding in Florida, the beach ranks above all the rest for beautiful wedding pictures. The white sand, the waves, the Gulf beach palm trees, the sun and the sea. It’s the perfect setting to say your vows with views, and capture a lifetime of memories. But when planning an affordable beach wedding, how do you take pictures on the beach? Friends and family may take pictures with their phones, but are these the Florida wedding ceremony photos that will look the best? What about when you want to take photos with THEM? Or if you want that kiss captured as the sun sets over the ocean? Hiring a professional beach wedding photographer, experienced in this type of setting will solve the problem and eliminate stress without breaking the bank. In fact, adding photography time to our already cheap wedding packages will guarantee your photos look first class forever (and it’s less expensive than you might think)!

A Florida Beach Weddings photographer has experience dealing with Mother Nature on the oceanfront. Be it bright light, Gulf beach sunsets, twilight, Daytona beach surf, an unexpected sun shower, fair to dark skin, children, a colorful bridal party: there are many factors a beach wedding photographer must consider. That’s on top of the already difficult tasks of capturing intimacy, correct shutter speed, posing couples at the right angle, creative/natural backgrounds, or eliminating other beach visitors. Beautiful, crisp photographs of traditional poses, bride and groom, family, friends, the bridal party and fun posing are part of the hundreds of beach wedding photos we’ve taken over the last 13 years! We’d love to show you some of our Florida Beach Wedding couples. Note: Forever In Love is now part of Florida Beach Weddings photography team!

Why Hire a Professional Beach Wedding Photographer

Ten, twenty, thirty years from now when you look back on your wedding day, what will be the moments you most remember? Watching the sunset as you said your vows? The exciting emotions felt while walking down the aisle? Your first kiss? Photos capture these life changing moments and they elicit feelings for a lifetime. So your wedding day photos are, naturally, a pretty big deal. Hiring an experienced beach wedding photographer ensures that as your own memory blurs, your wedding day photos will be in focus, clear, and forever beautiful. Trying to trim the budget by having a friend take pictures may seem like a good idea,  but here are some reasons why you should stick with a beach wedding professional.

  1. Affordable: Photographers traditionally come with a heavy price tag. However, Florida Beach Weddings has the luxury of experienced, in house staff photographers with over a decade shooting beach weddings. Experienced professionals without the heart stopping $$$. Sold! Adding photography to our affordable package prices is very reasonable. Click here to crunch on those numbers!
  2. Experience: A beach wedding photographer has an added challenge. And it’s two words: Mother Nature. Be it bright light, Gulf beach sunset light, twilight, Daytona beach surf, an unexpected sun shower, fair to dark skin: there are many factors a beach wedding photographer must consider. That’s on top of the already difficult tasks of staying discreet, correct shutter speed, capturing from the right angle, creative/natural posing, or eliminating other beach visitors. The list goes on. Don’t leave these detail orientated tasks to your friend whose only photographic selling point is an entertaining Instagram feed. An experienced photographer will capture your memories beautifully and forever.
  3. Talent: Florida Beach Wedding photographers are equipped to not only capture your moments on your wedding day, but also to perform magic! And by magic, I mean editing. So whether it’s a dull photo that needs some brightening or an unwanted pedestrian in the background, consider it taken care of.
