Wedding Beach Photography

Having a wedding at the beach can be an awesome experience. The photography can be stunning. However to come away with memorable beach portraits, a photographer needs to be prepared and do things somewhat differently than what is done in a studio. This article looks at things that a professional photographer can do to capture that perfect moment at the beach.

A photographer needs to be aware of the tides. Legion are the number of photographers who planned the perfect location for the couple's portraits only to find that at the time she got there the location was under water. Visit the wedding location on a different day from when the wedding will be taking place and see what the tides look like at that particular time. It is well worth the effort to prevent a potential disaster.

Be prepared with the necessary equipment. Make sure you have the cover for your lenses. If there is blowing sand it could prevent you from having a clear lens. Also, sand will likely get on the hands and feet of your subjects. It is much easier to get off if you have some talcum powder. Bring some and you will look like the professionals that you really are.

Check the time for the sunset. there is nothing more beautiful than a beach background sunset. However, if the portraits you are planning are after or before sunset you will obviously miss this wonderful opportunity.
