Ocean Isle Beach Wedding

A couple of  things about weddings on the beach though:

The best time to have a beach wedding is late it the day preferably around an hour before sunset.

The reasons: 10am till 3pm are the hottest and brightest times of the day on the east coast beaches. This causes high contrast and people squint and are irritated with the heat.

Getting married on the beach

Please take our advice if you must have a wedding on the beach do it at the appropriate time for maximum enjoyment and for better photographs of course!
