Treasure Island, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/13/2018 -- Florida beach weddings can be a small and intimate event, or an elaborate and opulent celebration for family and friends. No matter the size of the wedding party, one item on the wish list for many couples is a set of sunset portraits. These classic and romantic photographs are typically the last shots taken by the photographer so it is important to take all the other images before this time. As sunset is a fixed time each day which can be looked up in charts, a trick of professional wedding planners is to set the ceremony start time for one hour before the sunset. This allows for a relaxed service, optional ceremonies like the Unity Sand Ceremony or the Blessing Stones Ceremony, "Just Married" photographs, a selection of group shots, and then the all-important romantic portraits as the light changes to various shades of golden, red, burnt orange, or even pink. One of the reasons couples hire a wedding coordinator for their sunset beach wedding is that organization is key, if the bridal party is delayed or there is confusion over the order of events, the ceremony may be extended and the portraits will be taken in darkness.

A popular choice on the west coast of Florida is Treasure Island. Suncoast Weddings, one of the premier Florida wedding planning companies in the area, have their office based in Treasure Island and are located close to a selection of beautiful beaches. Sunset Beach is popular with locals and one visit at sunset will tell any visitor exactly how it got its name. The sunsets are often spectacular, with locals and tourists enjoying the natural spectacle each evening. Depending on the size of the wedding party, a beach can be selected which accommodates the number of guests and has easy access via boardwalks if required. Often the boardwalk on a beach acts as an extension of the beach wedding aisle and is a perfect backdrop for bridal portraits before the ceremony begins.

One recent trend in the world of beach weddings is to do a "first look" where the couple agrees to see each other before they meet at the arch. This is usually recorded by the photographer and can be a touching moment for the couple only, or they can each have their wedding party with them. Either way, the moment they see each other for the first time is always a highlight of the day.

Treasure Island Beach Weddings, St Pete Beach weddings, Siesta Key weddings, and Clearwater beach weddings boast spectacular sunset views over the Gulf of Mexico, perfect for couples who want sunset wedding day portraits. Florida beach weddings and reception packages can be purchased which includes the ceremony and also the party to follow. This may include items such as a DJ, a custom made cake, a coordinator for the wedding and a professional beach wedding photographer.
