Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations for a good photographer? It's really hard to judge a photographer based on a website so I would love to hear from some people that have used beach photographers in SoWal and were happy with them.

Thanks in advance!!

BrettMan,

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Marla and Shane - Photographers (Santa Rosa Beach and Destin Children's Portrait Photographer, Marla Carter Photography Destin, Seaside, Watercolor, Rosemary Beach, Seacrest Beach, Blue Mountain Beach, Destin Portrait Photographer).

I agree that looking at websites isn't always telling. And, as a mother who has taken 2 million photos her kids (and only about five decent ones to show for it), I am shocked and awed that Shane was able to capture their personalities - smirks, eyerolls, glares and giggles - during a shoot... The kids are crazy about him and the grownups are too. Being able to get my husband to relax in front of a camera is no small feat.

Best Wishes! NK

I agree with Mama.....Marla and Shane have photographed my kids, and the results were phenomenal. They don't "take pictures", they chronical unforgetable memories.

I just used Sheila Goode and loved working with her....

Sheila Goode- not only will you have beautiful pictures, but you will be able to spend time with one of the coolest humans in SoWal if not the planet. Good karma = good pictures. I can't imagine a better way to spend time.

All of those are good suggestions.

Easy well to tell how good a photographer is to see if they show any pictures of people on the dunes or posing with sea oats they have picked. NEVER use them - it means they have no respect for the rules/our beaches and that karma will affect your pics.
