Default Help! My first wedding is in two weeks!
I am so excited to shoot my first wedding in two weeks. However, the wedding
is taking place on the beach and I am nervous. I want my subjects to look crisp and colorful not washed out by the sun and sand. I love the look of bright beautiful blue skys and the wedding couple walking down the beach. How do I achieve this affect?

Many thanks,
Amanda

Not specifically wedding but beach photography tips, from this site, so similar principals apply. Also read some of the replies, especially regarding reflectors etc.

10 Beach Photography Tips

I would try to get some practice shoots in before the wedding.

what kit do you have?
Particularly, what lighting tools do you have and do you know how to use them?
