What To Wear For Beach Photos
When it comes to what to wear for beach photos, there really are no rules! We loved how this family chose to dress for their Gulf Shores photography session!
We worked with the Gray family a couple of years ago. The first time, they went with the more typical "dressed up" look. This time, they chose a more simple look by just having fun as a family playing on the beach!
At Shore Shooters, there is no dress code for our beach photos. Wear whatever best shows your family's personality! If you need suggestions or ideas, feel free to contact us any time. You can also get ideas by visiting our Pinterest page. For information on scheduling a session with us, please visit our home page, then choose your vacation destination. We look forward to meeting you and seeing how you choose to dress for your beach pictures!
Beach Photos On Sanibel Island
When Shannon scheduled her appointment with us last November while visiting Fort Myers Beach, she asked for our recommendation on the best place to get a family Christmas card photo. After discussing the options with our Fort Myers Beach / Sanibel area photographer, they decided to take Shannon's family's beach photos on Sanibel Island.
Our photographers are long-time residents of the area, so they know all of the best places for beach photos! We're always happy to discuss your "vision" for your beach pictures, then recommend the best place to get exactly what you're looking for!
If you're planning a vacation to the Fort Myers Beach or Sanibel Island area, here's the information on our beach photography packages in that area. If you're visiting a different beach community, go to our home page and choose your vacation destination.
Engagement Photography In Gulf Shores
From a proposal in the mountains to engagement photography in Gulf Shores! We first met this couple through our sister company, Mountain Escape Photography. After dating for 6 years, Jackson decided to propose to Brittani on New Years Eve while they were vacationing in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
The couple first met in Pensacola, so the Gulf Coast is also a special place for them! That's why, about a month after getting engaged in the mountains, Jackson and Brittani made a trip to the Gulf Coast for engagement photography in Gulf Shores and once again met up with Sara Beth, who was also their photographer in the mountains!
Do you prefer the beach or the mountains? We've got you covered in either place! If you're headed to the Smoky Mountains, here's the information on scheduling a session with Mountain Escape. If you prefer the beach, go to this page, then choose your vacation destination to schedule a beach photography session with us at Shore Shooters!

Top Three Reasons To Book A Winter Beach Photography Session!
A while back at a local workshop hosted by Shore Shooters co-owner April Loyle, the models showed us how the winter months at the beach can give the summer months a run for their money!
The workshop was held in November and we thought it was the perfect month for several reasons.
Here are the top three reasons to book a winter beach photography session, or as us locals like to call it, “off season”.
1. Prettier Sunsets
Yes, that’s right, we think the sunsets from November - February are actually prettier because along the coast of Alabama and most of Florida’s Gulf Coast, the sunset at this time of the year is directly over the water and full of color. The sunset in the summer is lovely too, but it’s not actually over the water. So for this reason, the winter is a special time for that!
2. Less Crowded
We are willing to bet that you will have the beach all to yourself for your winter beach portraits. So not only do you have the perfect golden light, you also have free range of your location!
3. Less Expensive
Like we said earlier, it’s off season for us beach folks, so that generally means the accommodations around here are less expensive. No lines at the restaurants either!
So I think these photos will prove that you can dress for cooler temperatures and still rock your beach portraits. I hope this inspires you to consider it. You can also follow our Pinterest boards for more inspiration. https://www.pinterest.com/shoreshooters/
We hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season! If you would like to get on our calendar this year for your Winter Beach Session, choose the beach town you are visiting and follow the next steps. We can’t wait to work with you!
Top Three Reasons To Have A Winter Beach Wedding
Shore Shooters co-owner April Loyle recently hosted a fun all girls photography workshop and one of their main content focuses was small beach weddings. A lot of couples decide to say their vows along the Gulf Coast and we do not blame them! The white sand and gorgeous emerald water makes the Gulf Coast a perfect backdrop for all seasons.
These photos inspire us to encourage couples to simplify their wedding. The beaches are already so perfect, sometimes there is no need to add more to it. In fact, sometimes adding more is actually taking away from the stunning backdrop. All you need is an officiant, your dress, the rings, and of course, us! Side Note: we do have a few simple beach wedding packages available if you need a small set up. Just ask! We also love the November sunset because it’s such a different color at this time of the year.
Pro Tip: Getting married along the Gulf Coast in the “off season” provides a fair amount of bonuses. Here are the top three reasons to have a winter beach wedding:
1. The Sunset Is Actually Over The Water!
During the warmer months, the sunset is going to be over a parking lot or condos. So the golden look that you see in these photos is because they were shot in November. Not to mention the temperature is almost always perfect in November - think mid 70’s.
2. Less People
Unfortunately, your beach house or your wedding permit for the state park beaches does not guarantee that the beach will be empty, and honestly, warmer months attract bigger crowds. There is almost always a chance that summer weddings will have crowds of people hanging around watching you get married.
3. Less Expensive
“Off Season” is the perfect time to visit the Gulf Coast of Alabama and Florida because the hotel, condo and beach house rentals are far less expensive. It’s also the perfect time to get married for that same reason. Since it’s off season, you won’t wait in lines for restaurants and other touristy things that you may want to do on your honeymoon and you’ll save a good amount of money on your stay.
So there you have it! Our top three reasons to have a Winter Beach Wedding!
