There is a sense of warmth with us, like walking into a room filled with friends. Our clients don’t just feel that they’ve known us forever…they think of us as family! With Don and Kat Beach of Beachpeople Weddings, tension fades, and you are caressed ever so gently by a feeling of love and relaxation… and you have the sensation that you are entering an unpretentious space and time filled with the promise of barriers slipping away with the tide. There is only the sound of the sea breezes and rushing waves and laughing gulls. Time stops for a spell, and all you see is your beloved. All you feel is joy and love, and the warmth of the Carolina sun. There are no plastic people here, because this is a beach; an oasis of visceral feelings and age-old cycles of sea and tide. This is a place to trust and let go, and to simply be yourselves.

This is the place that you will be wed to your best friend.

As reiki master practitioners, we seek out the energy that flows like the tide between two lovers, and provide a service that is all about the experience! Our ceremonies are romantic and all about the romance of the sea, the beach, the islands, the surf and can include a mixture of unique extras, such as our own Shell Necklace “Gifts of the Sea” ceremony, or our very own Ceremony of the Keys, where the bride gives her groom 7 engraved keys that provide a doorway into her world, or a unity sand ceremony where each of you fetch a handful of sand from beneath your feet and mix it together in a shell. With us, your wedding can be what ever you want it to be. It can be simple and elegant, barefoot and relaxed, short and sweet…. You decide!

We are fun and romantic wedding officiants, photographers, and photo artists who are specialists in small and intimate wedding celebrations on our beautiful area beaches, and we are also beach photography experts with a very intimate, relaxed, and romantic style of photography that goes far beyond “stand there and smile a lot”! Our photography not only captures your ceremony, but we also have an easy and fun bridal session right on the beach and in the sand dunes afterwards …. photography that is focused just on the couple all by themselves! In essence, we do bridal portraits and bride and groom portraits right then and there on the beach, something that many couples might not have had done if it weren’t for our style of photography. And even better, we can turn those images into heirloom type art, printed on canvas or water color paper. Of course, we always love to photograph children, and as grandparents ourselves, we won’t miss an opportunity to photograph the kids. Our group shots are fun and relaxed, not stiffly posed. We offer extraordinary photography for ordinary people!

Finally, we are fun and easy to work with!  The stress that everyone assumes to be associated with weddings does not exist at Beachpeople Weddings.  Many of our couples are pleasantly surprised to have all of their stress just melt away.  Just take a look at their pictures on our website.  No stress!  Really!  Who wouldn't be having fun at a wedding where you don't have to wear shoes, or neckties, or 60 pounds of gowns and tuxedos.  And who wouldn't love a wedding that is real and fun rather than pomp and circumstance!

With us, it is not about a huge bill for a reception, nor is it about that long (and inevitable) check list that many weddings are burdened with. It is not about the chicken dance. It is not about stressing over seating charts, or proper standing positions; rather it is all about the boy and the girl who fell in love and the story that they are creating together…. A Love Story about “happily ever after”.

Who wouldn’t love a wedding that is all about love and a beach and a moment in time that only happens once in your lives together? So who are we talking about?

Beachpeople!  You might be Beach People too, and the love story might be yours!
