Ready for warm weather? So are we! In the spirit of summer finally being upon us, we chose some of our best beach portraits to feature in today’s installment of Friday Favorites. The glowing beauty of this glorious season radiates through each of these images and warms us from the inside out. Check out the stunning photos below for some sun and sand inspiration!

This bridesmaids shot is absolute perfection! We love the candid laughter and the clean backdrop created by the horizon. Sunset was clearly the ideal time for this bride to bring her besties to the beach for glowing portraits. Their white peony and hydrangea bouquets only add to the beautiful simplicity of this beach wedding.

This adventurous couple decided to take a dip for their portraits, and honestly, we think it was worth it! We love the effortless look of the lift and the beautiful reflection it created on the water. Plus, they couldn’t stop smiling! This will without a doubt be a picture they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

How unbelievably gorgeous is this ceremony site?! It sits perfectly next to the the calm ocean water with the added bonus of a magnificent flower altar made of a combination of orchids, hydrangeas and greenery. It is absolutely breathtaking! 

We hope you can practically hear the ocean’s waves and feel the sand between your toes after viewing this stunning collection of favorites. If these images aren’t enough to make you want to have a beach wedding of your own, then we don’t know what will!
