  • Additional editing may affect time of delivery.

  • Sunset and Sunrise photoshoots make for the best lighting for photos. The sky and weather patterns change daily meaning the main focus becomes lighting.
  • We are never guaranteed a perfect sunset every day, but we still can take great photos by avoiding the harsh daylight.  The times closest to sunset normally get booked first and can provide more orange and yellow color.
  • Earlier shoots an hour or two before sunset provide a more blue sky and brighter photo.
  • Things like overcast sky and storms can alter these principles.

  • Our beach photo packages include a copyright release and all high definition images able to be printed up to and possibly over a 24″ x 36″ size in any form (canvas, acrylic, print).

This was my second event working directly with Sandi, though this event I was not the one who hired her. A colleague of mine saw her professional work form last year, and without hesitation, hired her again for this year’s event. Throughout the conference, Sandi was highly engaged with the organizers, attendees, and speakers. What truly stood out to me, was the personal level of care she brings to her work. One evening after conference hours, we had a school alumni gathering and I asked Sandi if she would be willing to take a few photos. Without any hesitation, she gladly stayed an extra 30 minutes to capture the event and did not charge for the additional time. That level of professionalism, generosity, and genuine care is rare today, and it speaks volumes about the experience you get when working with Sandi.

Sandi was very professional but yet still very friendly with an awesome personality that made us all feel comfortable. She did an amazing job on our sunset beach family portraits! We had so much fun and she even had my sons with great smiles! We are so happy with how the photos are so beautiful and have received many compliments from friends! We plan to use the photos for Christmas cards and frame prints for our home and give some to family members. We will cherish these great photos forever!

Mark did a great job with communicating as Mother Nature was not on our side the day of photos. He kept us in the loop and ultimately had to reschedule to a different day/time. He was patient as we had to juggle our calendar a bit. Mark was great to work with during our photos. We had a family of 14 with 3 small kids and he knew to get all the pictures with the kids taken first. Lots of pictures to take in 30 minutes, he made it happen and we are very pleased with our photos!

Our photographer Sandi was amazing. She went above and beyond, making sure that we enjoyed our session and were happy with our photos. We now have family pictures to remember our family vacation in Destin. If you’re looking for family photos while in Destin, you can’t go wrong with Destin Beach Photography. We were thrilled with them!

Our photographer was Mark. He was there early as were we, so we began our session ahead of schedule which was good. He was great with the kids and made sure to get all family unit combinations. The results were absolutely gorgeous. A+ result! You can beat the price for pro photos for (in our case) 4 separate family units in one session. We had a wonderful experience with Destin Beach Photography scheduler. they were responsive and very accommodating of our schedule. They offered various time slots and days which is great when working with a large group on vacation.
