We photograph beach ceremonies at St. Augustine Beach, Vilano Beach, Crescent Beach, and Anastasia State Park. Vilano faces east with dunes that block the crowd. Crescent is wider with fewer tourists. Anastasia State Park requires a permit but gives you a private stretch of sand.
We time ceremonies for the hour before sunset—that's when the light goes golden and the heat drops. Thinking about photos both downtown and at the beach? The Bridge of Lions goes up at the bottom and top of every hour. We'll build your timeline so you're not stuck in traffic watching the draw bridge rise.
