If you’re considering a Monterey Bay wedding, do not miss the opportunity to take photos on the beach. The beach is what we love. The beach is why you come. The beaches inside Monterey Bay are long and sandy compared to those in Carmel. With it’s miles of sand, it’s easy for a bride and groom to seclude themselves and feel like they’re the only people on Earth.
If you’re seeking an awesome destination to bring the family for the weekend, let me tell you about the top five best beaches in Monterey Bay. If you’re thinking of proposing to a loved one, need fresh photos of your family, or even if you’re getting married at the courthouse and want wedding photos on the beach, this blog is for you!
Before booking any photographer to photograph your family, engagement, or wedding, it’s important to know what their photography style is. I highly recommend you visit High Orbit Media’s online portfolio before booking so you know what to expect from your final images.
So without walking very far there are already two locations with great backdrops for your photos: Pacific Ocean and Carmel River. What makes this beach unique is not only the river, but also its proximity to the hiking trails at Carmel Meadows. The rugged beach also makes for dramatic proposal or engagement photos. You really can’t go wrong if you’re looking for incredible backgrounds for your images. Definitely worth the price of a photography permit.
The easily accessible beach is located right off Highway 1 on Jetty Rd. As soon as you turn onto Jetty Road you’ll want to slow down immediately because you are now in otter country (plus there’s speed humps). Moss Landing may in fact be the otter capital of the world. In fact, if you’re not sick of otters by the end of this blog I’ll be surprised.
Above the rest. Revolving around you.
