Booking us for 2008

Get married on the beach barefoot and happy, whether it's just the 2 of you or with your family and friends.

Each package includes our awesome officiant AND our romantic "love story" photography, all bundled together for one low price. Your ceremony can be as simple, or as fancy as you would like. Wear a sarong over your bathing suit, or an elegant gown and veil. Choose the package that suits your needs. Then choose from our "add on" list for any extras that you might like.

For our current wedding package customers that receive a photo CD, we offer online viewing on our Moonbeam Photography website with a private pass-worded gallery, with selected images in a slideshow set to music so family and friends can experience your wedding. We often add artistic effects to the images we place on our website gallery, and include more images than you might have on your CD. These images may be purchased separately. See our Photo Services page for specialty items, such as printing your image on canvas , and various photo art options.

For our clients with our previously offered session fee packages, we still include Online viewing and ordering so you and your family and friends can share and purchase images. For session fee packages, we offer a one time special deal, allowing you to put together your own custom print package. Save 15% (minimum order amount $250 at ala cart prices) to 30% (minimum order amount $500 at ala cart price). Contact us for details as this must be ordered directly through us and not through the online ordering website.

Important note for our clients purchasing our printable photo CD images; most of the images on your CD (or DVD) will not adjusted beyond the basics. We do hand correct and adjust many of the portrait type images for you.

If you have images that you'd like us to work on and print for you, just get back to us after you've received your package! Some of your images will also have some of our special, romantic effects!

Also note that unforeseen circumstances such as weather or late starts (for a sunset wedding) can place limitations on any of our services. We are not responsible for the foibles of nature, or late arriving couples! Late guests will not be a valid reason for a late start, so make sure your friends and family know when and where to go ahead of time.

Please note that we reserve the right to reschedule any beach or outdoor wedding if the weather conditions become hazardous, esp if there is lightning in the area, or forecasted warnings of hazardous conditions are posted. It is the couple's responsibility to have a rainy day backup plan. We reserve the right to not risk valuable equipment if rain is present at your wedding location at our discretion. Wedding insurance is an option (but not available from us!) for couples with expensive wedding plans!

If you request the 50 image on a CD package (Island Romance), and then ask us to take a bunch of group shots, most of the images included on your CD will be all those groups shots you had us take! The romantic ones of the both of you that we specialize in will be available on our website for purchase separately, but if you'd like to have both kinds of pics, consider stepping up to a bigger package or having family members take the bulk of the group poses!

For the average wedding and photo-shoot, it's not uncommon for us to end up with over 300 images available! This is so we have a good set of images to choose from for you, and with 2 photographers working, it doesn't take much time to get those images.

Trying to squeak by with the elopement package (15 or so images), and then "surprising us" with more guests than permitted for this package will not fly with us! We work hard to price our packages based on our time requirements, (in fact, we've cut our prices to the bone!) so we will be forced to upgrade you to the next package. So no pleading, begging, or holding your breath is going to work! Read why here.

Our flower circle creates a colorful sacred space on the beach to encompass the bride and groom, and our Ocean Drum Blessing is a simple and brief opening ceremony requiring 4 "volunteers" that is spiritual, easy (and painless for the volunteers), with blessings for your marriage from the Earth, the Sun, the Water, and the Air.

A beach sand unity ceremony with a keepsake heart-shaped bottle of the sand used in the ceremony

You will be getting a very creative, fun, romantic, and unique wedding ceremony and officiant that definitely didn't come from Wal-Mart! As a certified reiki practitioner, Beach Hippie, and healing drummer, I bring a very different perspective to your wedding! Hint: it'll be equal parts fun and spiritual. My idea of a beach wedding is alot more than Hawaiian shirts and Tiki torches!

I will go to a location of your choice. (We can help with location ideas based on your situation and needs.)

I have many awesome ceremony examples to choose from (available upon request by e-mail after you reserve me), and I always encourage personal vows and customized ceremony wording! You can even whisper your vows in each other's ears!

Prompt and friendly communications that might just include a beach report, especially if you call my cell phone! (Most days....)

Your wedding ceremony and vows on themed decorative paper, placed in a binder and given to the couple after the ceremony.

Does not include marriage license or any permits that specific venues might require! For separately priced options, see our Ceremony Extras page!

Our photography is incredible! It's romantic, it's fun, and it's done by professional photographers with top quality Nikon equipment.

Please note that we no longer travel to Myrtle Beach (or points south) in South Carolina, or Topsail Island (or locations north of Wrightsville Beach) in North Carolina (With the exception of our specialty wedding packages)

We are available for Oak Island and Southport, Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle and Holden Beach, and North Myrtle Beach

Wednesdays for 2008 (when possible) are reserved for our one day of the week off!

If you've already booked us, we will honor our agreement with you; so don't be concerned if the terms of our original plans are not reflected here. Are packages occasionally change!

So are we worth it? You may have attended weddings in the past where the minister drones on in a monotone voice the same old predictable words, but my ceremonies are unique and romantic, and you will get a chance to love each other and just be yourselves! It's the difference between a same ole thing wedding, and the experience that sets the tone for your lives together. If your heart yearns for this wedding ceremony of yours to resonate in your hearts, and if you prefer to have a special ceremony that will have you experiencing what these people are saying; a wedding ceremony that is much more some emotionless ritual, but a once in a lifetime moment in time, then the answer would seem to be "yes"!

(And I know that guys sometimes hate to spend money on mushy stuff when that new set of expensive tires would look great .... but if you want to guarantee that your new wife will hopefully be around longer than your truck, get the tires later and treat this woman to a fun, romantic, and just plain awesome wedding experience! She might just say "yes" to the tires and throw in a paint job, too!)
