Wedding planning is a very different experience for every couple. Some people like to be involved in every small detail and others like to let a wedding planner take charge so they can turn up on the big day and be surprised. Whichever approach is taken, planning a beach wedding from afar can be daunting. There are some details that are not easy to search out online. How accessible is the beach for instance, how wide is the beach, which of the local florists can deliver, and so many more questions. At times like this, having a local expert in situ is a valuable asset. Suncoast Weddings, premier beach wedding planners on the west coast of Florida, are based in Treasure Island and bring their years of experience to the planning stage of every Suncoast Wedding. Sunset weddings are a popular choice although planning to get married at sunset would likely leave couples disappointed with their photo album. For the perfect sunset wedding, the ceremony should be scheduled to begin about an hour before the scheduled sunset time. This can be extended if there are to be musical interludes or readings by family and friends. The ceremony need not be rushed and then there will be enough time to take group shots and family portraits before the 'golden hour' romantic sunset photos of the happy couple. A trend in beach weddings is to venture into the waves and take more pictures in the Gulf of Mexico. These shots are always fun and often end up being the most dynamic and candid portraits in the collection.
