Abby made us feel SO comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. My husband isn’t the biggest fan on taking photos but he was having such a good time! Abby and her husband are the sweetest!!! Highly recommend if you are in Oahu, she was so flexible with my busy schedule. Thank you Abby!!!

Best photographer! We were on vacation in Waikiki and at the last minute decided to get family pictures taken. I am so glad I went with Aloha Dreams. Abby was sweet and kind, made us feel so comfortable. She was very accommodating to our lack of planning and that alone deserves five stars. Pictures turned out amazing! I love every single one. Thank you so much!

We were a bit intimidated about being in front of the camera before our shoot but Abby was super down to earth and made us so comfortable being in front of the camera. She was also super good with communicating and was very efficient with the turnaround time. The photos far exceeded our expectations!! We had a great experience and would highly recommend Aloha Dreams Photography!!!

Questions, answered
How much does a beach photographer cost in Destin?
Our Destin family and couples sessions start at $700 plus tax. That’s a full hour, at least 75 edited high-res images, print rights and help choosing your spot and outfits. Elopements start at $1,400. A $200 deposit holds your date and goes towards your final payment.
What’s the best time for family beach pictures in Destin?
Sunset is our favorite, when the light turns soft and golden on the white sand. Little ones sometimes do better in the morning, so tell us your crew’s routine and we’ll pick the time that suits everyone.
Can you meet us near where we’re staying?
Usually! We can often meet you at a public beach close to your rental, including around Miramar Beach and Okaloosa Island. Tell us where you’re staying and we’ll suggest the closest spot with great light.
What if the weather is bad?
We recommend booking near the start of your trip, just in case. We’ve shot for over a decade and only had a handful of rainouts, since showers usually pass in 5 to 10 minutes. If shooting really isn’t possible, we reschedule for free.
What should we wear?
For the beach, whites, teals, neutrals and blues look great. We’d skip busy prints and stripes, but it’s totally up to you.
What’s your cancellation policy?
You get a full deposit refund up to 24 hours before your shoot. Within 24 hours, we’re unfortunately unable to refund it.
