Adrienne and David, a metropolitan couple from the windy city decided to plan a destination wedding in Cape Cod. The reception was at Oak Crest Cove and formal pictures were taken at the beach, both in Sandwich, MA. It was beautiful New England weather for this couples big day. The winds were low and the overcast sky made for perfect lighting.
In planning a beach wedding, you may want to consider having a few photo location options. We were really lucky because the weather was cooperative but often, the beach can be a difficult place for pictures because of harsh direct sunlight and high winds. Having an alternate location will ensure that you can make the best of your beach wedding.
This couple also decided they were going to see each other before the ceremony, in order to get all of the formal pictures done before the reception. Many couples have been doing this because it allows them more time to spend with their friends and family during the cocktail hour. The extra time allowed for pictures before-hand, gave us ample opportunity to get a lot of great images using the beautiful beach backgrounds.
They were an especially sweet couple. It was clear that they’re madly in love with each other. That was truly a great wedding to photograph. Best wishes to Adrienne and David.
