We&rsquo;re all about making your photoshoot an incredible experience without any unnecessary fuss. And that includes explaining why we often suggest sunrise and sunset as the ideal times for your photoshoot.
&nbsp;
Now, I hear you. You&rsquo;re thinking, 'Why can&rsquo;t we just shoot at a time that&rsquo;s more convenient for my family?' Well, there&rsquo;s more to this than meets the eye. There's so many factors in how we made this decision. Over the years we have run in to just about every scenario you could imagine taking photos on the beach. So here are a few that are deal breakers for doing shoots in the middle of the day!
&nbsp;
First off, let&rsquo;s talk light. It&rsquo;s not just about avoiding that squinty &lsquo;I&rsquo;m staring directly into the sun&rsquo; look, although that&rsquo;s a valid point. Early morning and late afternoon light is soft, warm, and downright flattering. It&rsquo;s exactly what we need to capture those beautiful, natural-looking photos that you'll cherish. We want you looking your best, and no matter how good we are at photoshop, you have to start with the right conditions!
&nbsp;
Next up, temperature. Have you ever tried to look cool, calm, and collected while you&rsquo;re sweating buckets in the midday sun? Trust me, it&rsquo;s not the best look. Early morning or late afternoon shoots are usually cooler and much more comfortable, especially if you&rsquo;re wearing those elegant outfits we often suggest for shoots.
&nbsp;
AND THE PEOPLE! The Emerald Coast is growing in popularity every year. During the peak times of the day is when you'll find the most people on the beach, which means you may have some folks in the background that you may or may not want to be a part of that memory forver. You get what we mean.
&nbsp;
And let's not forget the little ones. We realize that sunset may not be the ideal time for the grumpy littles in the fam. We suggest coming armed with treats, and a relaxed dimeanor. Sunset can be a fun time of day even for the most grumpy little guy or girl if we just approach it like a quilck little family trip down to the beach to watch the sunset. So, if you have kids in the photoshoot, you&rsquo;ll appreciate this point. Bedtime is usually early evening for the kiddos, right? Well, wrap up a sunset shoot and you&rsquo;ve got tired but happy children who are ready for a good night&rsquo;s sleep. It&rsquo;s a win-win situation.
&nbsp;
There&rsquo;s method in our madness. We want your photoshoot to be as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, and that extends to the time of day we recommend. It might mean an early start or a late finish, but we promise it&rsquo;ll be worth it. After all, we&rsquo;re not just taking pictures, we&rsquo;re capturing memories. And we want those memories to be bathed in the most magical light possible. That&rsquo;s the Lambeth Creative difference!

Sunrise and Sunset Shoots: More Than Just Aesthetic

Hey there, it's Michael Lambeth of Lambeth Creative Co., and today I'm sharing with you the top 5 wedding venues in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. My wife and I have had the privilege of capturing numerous beautiful moments at these venues, and we're thrilled to give you the inside scoop!
&nbsp;
First up, we have the <a href="https://www.floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/eden-gardens-state-park" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eden Gardens State Park</a>. Its historic and rustic charm makes it an absolute gem. It's especially stunning in spring when the camellias and azaleas are in full bloom. This venue is perfect for outdoor weddings and can accommodate a large number of guests.
&nbsp;
Next is the <a href="https://www.visitsouthwalton.com/weddings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Santa Rosa Golf &amp; Beach Club</a>. With the glistening gulf as a backdrop, this venue provides a picturesque setting. We've found that sunset weddings here are truly captivating. It&rsquo;s an ideal place for medium to large weddings, and the best time to tie the knot here would be in the summer or late spring.
&nbsp;
The third spot on our list is the <a href="https://vueon30a.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vue on 30a</a>. This venue is all about its panoramic beach views. The Vue is fantastic for intimate weddings or elopements. When is the best time to get hitched here? We'd recommend the fall, when the weather is milder, and the autumn sunset paints a gorgeous palette in the sky.
&nbsp;
Fourth, we have the <a href="https://www.floridastateparks.org/graytonbeach" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grayton Beach State Park</a>. This venue is perfect for the couple that loves nature. The park's dunes and sea oats provide a unique, serene backdrop. Small to medium weddings would work well here. The best time would be late spring or early fall when the weather is pleasant.
&nbsp;
Finally, there's the <a href="https://www.monetmonet30a.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Monet Monet</a>. This hidden gem, with its beautiful gardens and enchanting gazebo, is perfect for smaller, intimate weddings. Given the lush greenery, spring or early summer would be ideal. Plus, the twinkle lights in the evening create a magical ambiance.

Top 5 Wedding Venues in Santa Rosa Beach, FL

Hey there, I'm Michael Lambeth, head of Lambeth Creative Co. My wife and I are here to let you into a little secret - hiring a professional portrait photographer is not just about getting high-quality images. Sure, the quality is stellar, but there's so much more to it. A professional photographer brings a sense of calm and ease to the process. No awkward poses or forced smiles, just you at your best, captured in a moment of time.
&nbsp;
It's all about the experience, isn't it? That's what we believe here at Lambeth Creative. We make photography fun, turning it into an enjoyable activity rather than a chore. The result? Authentic, candid shots that truly reflect you and your loved ones. These are the images that take you back, transporting you to that special moment every time you look at them. That's the magic a professional photographer brings.
&nbsp;
Let's talk about family photography. Families grow and change at an astonishing rate. Little ones sprout up like weeds, and before you know it, they're off to college. That's why it's so important to capture these fleeting moments. Family portraits are more than just pictures; they're heirlooms, treasures that can be passed down through generations. They're a way to remember and celebrate the milestones that make your family unique.
&nbsp;
We understand that every family is different, and that's why we take a personalized approach to every photoshoot. We take the time to get to know you and your family, creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment where everyone can just be themselves. The result is not just a collection of beautiful images, but a memory of a wonderful time spent together.
&nbsp;
So, the next time you're considering hiring a professional portrait photographer, remember it's not just about the images. It's about the experience, the memories, and the magic moments that are captured forever. We hope we've given you a little food for thought and look forward to the opportunity to create some amazing memories for you and your family. Stay awesome, folks!
