Hi Carole We opted for the beach wedding as we had 2 small children & there was a little play see saw that kept them busy during the ceremony. The beach setting was perfect & times nicely with the sunset so the pictures were captured with enough daylight & then moved into perfect sunset pictures. We didn’t find ourselves too hot & bothered during the ceremony as the timing of the evening is just right. We did go in June, so presumably it may be hotter moving into July/August. Overall we had a very nice day & the pictures of our wedding are perfect especially those with the beach/sea in the background. 21st June 2011 Matt and Yasameen
