WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS ON OUR WEDDING DAY?
It is always advisable for our wedding couples to have a contingency plan or an alternate location in case of unfavorable weather conditions.
*In the event of unexpected weather conditions caused by Mother Nature, Beachside Weddings cannot provide relocation assistance. In most cases, if inclement weather threatens your outdoor beachside wedding, we recommend moving the ceremony to the reception location (if it is indoors).
WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHY?
We offer professional photography services for both the ceremony and portraits after the ceremony. The photography session lasts for approximately 1-hour.
*The newlyweds will receive edited digital images with copyright release within 2 business weeks.
*Photographer will begin shooting at the start of the wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, the photographer will spend approximately an hour taking photos of the newlyweds, the wedding party, and close family members if requested. The photos will be taken on the beach immediately after the ceremony.
* The number of images will depend on the size of the wedding, usually between 75-150.
