If you’re planning a Sunset Beach elopement in St. Pete, Lisa + Eric’s elopement has so much inspiration! This Alabama couple eloped on Treasure Island’s Sunset Beach because they loved its magical views and quiet vibe. They said their vows under the golden sun, and then took couples portraits as the sun dipped below the horizon. The sky was filled with soft pinks and oranges. The colors went perfectly with Lisa’s whimsical bouquet by Arms of Persephone!

The Ceremony and Beachside Vibes

Their Sunset Beach elopement was all about intimacy and joy. The entire evening was filled with candid moments and dreamy, light-filled photos that truly captured the magic of St. Pete’s sunsets.

Getting in the Water for Magical Photos

One of the most memorable moments of this elopement was when the couple waded into the water together. The bride’s dress floated elegantly around her as the Gulf waves added a whimsical touch to the photos. It’s a reminder that eloping is all about making the day your own! Whether that means a traditional ceremony on the sand or getting your feet wet for a fun twist. A great tip – you can have the groom change into shorts before doing photos in the water!

Engagement Sessions When You Elope?

Lisa and Eric also booked an engagement session the day before, and we got to take romantic photos around Vinoy Park and the St. Pete Pier. If you’re eloping, an engagement session can still be a special part of your story—read more about their engagement session here.
