Destin Beach Wedding Photography at Seascape Resort

Want The Perfect Beach Family or Wedding Photo?

Wish you had the perfect family photo for this year’s holiday cards? The beach is a great place to take family photos, and there’s still plenty of time to head down and get that perfect shot before you mail out your greetings. The white sand and sparkling green waters at Seascape Resort provide the perfect backdrop for portraits. With so much inspiration and beauty, it seems almost impossible to take a bad photo here!

Many families and couples may try the do-it-yourself approach to photography rather than hiring a professional. To ensure the best looking photos, though, it can definitely be helpful to follow the advice of a pro. You’ll often find photographer Amy Thomas Walchak capturing beautiful images on the beach at Seascape Resort, whether for family portraits or romantic wedding photos. Owner of Avalon Photography, Walchak recommends taking advantage of the “golden hour” just before sunrise or after sunset, when lighting is most flattering for pictures. While the white sand creates a gorgeous setting, she explains that it also acts as a reflector, which can make photos appear too harsh and bright when coupled with the mid-day sun. Another key to great portraits is to keep a natural, neutral look. Bright colors or very dark clothing choices can conflict with the pastels of the sea and sand. Likewise, makeup looks best when kept simple and clean. Walchak recommends the use of a light translucent powder when dealing with humidity, as it can eliminate the shiny look. Even men can benefit from this in a photo. Family portraits are often most genuine when not posed and stiff. The beach is the perfect location to relax and have fun! Walchak encourages her photo subjects to let loose and get sandy. She also says to try shooting from different angles to create genuine smiles and priceless family moments. Finally, remember that the beach is very often windy. While a little hairspray can help to a point, the best looks will feature off-the-face hairstyles, with perhaps hats or sunglasses controlling the hair.

Seascape resort is beautiful any time of year. The setting here provides a stunning canvas for capturing all of life’s special moments, from the serious, to the romantic, to just plain silly and fun. We invite you to our beach for your next photo shoot. Whether you take a do-it-yourself approach to photography or choose a professional session through Avalon Photography, Seascape Resort can guarantee there will be plenty of smiles!
