Destin Beach Proposal

We love this Destin beach proposal! Carson proposed to Gracyn with a big “Marry Me” sign on the beach. Gracyn’s family and her childhood best friend and her family were there to help celebrate the proposal. Gracyn said “Our families have always vacationed together each year. Our mothers work together and they have always been like our second family. Their daughter Ellee is like a sister I never had. I am an only child and she is whom I would consider my sister!”

We also asked Gracyn to tell us a little more about her and Carson. She said “Carson and I started dating 5 years ago in January. We dated my junior and senior year of high school! We come from a small town in Scottsville KY where there is not even a Walmart lol! Everyone here knows everyone and all goes to the same school system. We have always loved going to the beach in Destin/ 30A area of Florida. I have been visiting there ever since I was a child, it’s my favorite place to go! We plan to come back to the Destin area for our wedding in the future! We loved our experience with Shore Shooters, Josh was amazing! He made the experience so comfortable and exciting. Carson did a wonderful job surprising me with all of this”

She also said that she has always dreamed of having a beach wedding in Destin, so we’re looking forward to working with them again when they set a date!

Senior Portraits In Destin

The Knapp family scheduled a session with us for family photography and senior portraits in Destin. We’re here for any occasion! Whether it’s family photos on the beach, an engagement, proposal, anniversary, or senior portraits, let us capture it for you.

Senior Portraits With Friends – Destin Florida Senior Photos

If you’re looking to get senior portraits while you vacation at the beach, we encourage you to bring your friends! Isabel, Paige, Ashley, and Tori Beth came to Destin Florida for a vacation and decided that they all wanted senior portraits while they were here. So the 4 of them split a senior session on the beach.

You’d be surprised how many pictures we can take in 45 minutes! Photographer Courtney was able to get plenty of pictures of each of the girls. They even had time for an outfit change!

Sandy + Salty – Destin Family Photography

Thinking of ditching the collared shirts and sundresses, but not sure if you can fully commit?

Well, here’s a little Destin family photography inspiration for you! We love when our clients switch things up and get a bit more playful with their wardrobes.

Tossing on your suits and loading up your beach toys makes for a much more relaxed and joyful (and lets not forget, memorable) family photography session!

We were very excited to hear how much our client loved her “sandy + salty” Destin family photography session. Here’s the email she sent to us when she received her finished gallery:

“Holy goodness gracious!!!!!!  I could not have been happier with the customer service from every single person I interacted with.  From booking the session to immediate responses to every email answering all my questions and putting every tiny worry to rest, this was by far the easiest photo session I have ever booked.  

And LAURA!  LAURA!  I mean my entire family was full on ANGRY about having to take family pictures during their beach vacation and I heard about how horrible I was including on the walk to the beach to have the pictures taken.  I agreed they did not have to get ready, fix hair, wear matching outfits, nothing…..easy breezy beautiful!  But from the moment we met Laura she really did make it all easy breezy and the pictures couldn’t be more beautiful.  We all had so much fun, the kids didn’t even want it to end, I had to actually tell her she could leave anytime because they kept finding more stuff to do for her to take pictures of.  She was full of ideas and fun.  We all love the pictures and they are going to make the best Christmas presents.

Thank you so much for capturing the essence of us, the love and fun we have for each other and the beach.”

Thank you so much for the kind words, Tori! If you’re ready to book your Destin family photography session, please go to this page. If you’re headed to a different beach town, check out our home page to see all of the locations where we work.

What To Wear For a Small Family Beach Photography Session

Deciding what to wear for a small family beach photography session and getting coordinating outfits together doesn’t have to be as stressful as you may think. We at Shore Shooters Beach Photography believe “the simpler, the better”! If your colors and prints are too bright and bold, it can be distracting to the eye. Keeping your looks more towards the neutral side and the prints on the smaller side, makes you the center of attention– not your wardrobe!

Plus, it’s best not to try and compete with these Gulf Shores beaches, right?!

The Leppert family went about this perfectly! Mom and dad sporting muted tones, while baby boy brought the whole look together with his subtly printed overalls.

We hope this helps you out and we can’t wait to see what looks you put together for your family beach photography session!

What To Wear? – Beach Photos In Gulf Shores

Do you have to get “dressed up” for beach photos? NO! This family chose to wear their swimsuits and we loved the way their pictures turned out!

There’s really no dress code for beach pictures. What to wear is up to you! If you want to dress up, that’s fine with us. But if you choose the more casual route, that’s fine too!

Check out more of their photos below. If you’re ready to book your beach photos in Gulf Shores, please visit this page to see pricing and to get on our calendar. Visiting a different beach? Check out our home page to see if we have photographers in the area you’ll be visiting.

Destin Florida Family Photography

When our client contacted us to book this Destin Florida family photography session, she said she was looking to get a “long overdue family photo”.  We believe the beach is the BEST place for a family photo any time!

If you’re overdue for a family photography session, our Destin photographers would love to meet you!  Click here to schedule your Destin Florida family photography session or go to this page for Destin photography pricing and more information.
