Weddings in the sand.  It is a pretty popular venue for couples who want to vow their love for each other in front of a breathtaking setting which can’t be outdone.  Alan and I were married on the sand 11 years ago in St. Thomas.

Our most recent wedding took us to Treasure Island Beach in Laguna Beach at the Montage Hotel & Resort for a breathtaking photo opportunity.

Madeline and Adam wanted a privte ceremonty with just a few friends on the beach.  Madline was one of those women who did’t know her own beauty.  Madeline and Adam are from Colorado and while in California wanted to have their wedding ceremony on one of California’s most beautiful beaches.

We spent a few hours with them.  They were both relaxed and clearly in love.
Alan highly recommends wedding photography on the beach.  The bride should bring flip flops and decide beforehand if she wants to get ‘wet’.  ex. “Trash the Dress”.  The time of of the ceremony should be in the ‘golden hour’.

I really enjoyed meeting Adam and Madaline such a relaxed couple who will clearly be going through life with zest and a great attitude.
