Coastal charm, stress-free planning, and photo magic you’ll never forget

Planning a Destination Wedding in Corpus Christi

Whether you’re dreaming of saying “I do” with your toes in the sand or hosting an intimate celebration with your closest people,

Corpus Christi is the Gulf Coast’s best-kept wedding secret.

From secluded beaches to luxury waterfront venues, this guide will walk you through how to plan your destination wedding in

Corpus Christi—from travel tips to trusted vendors, and everything in between.

As local photographers who specialize in working with out-of-town couples, we’re here to help you bring

your vision to life—with less stress and more joy.

Let’s plan a wedding you’ll relive forever.

Start with the Season

Spring and fall offer the most predictable weather and dreamy light. Summer can be stunning but hot—consider sunset ceremonies. Winter weddings are underrated and surprisingly peaceful.

Pro Tip: Always have a Plan B for coastal winds or sudden rain. We’ve got lighting gear and umbrellas ready.

Book a Local Venue Early

Top beach and waterfront venues often book 8–12 months in advance. Look for spaces that offer on-site coordination or elopement packages.

Find Local Vendors You Can Trust

You don’t have to fly in a full team. Corpus Christi has incredible florists, DJs, planners, and caterers. We’re happy to recommend professionals we’ve worked with personally.

Insider Tip: Ask your photographer for vendor referrals—they know who delivers.

Plan Your Travel Logistics

Most couples fly into Corpus Christi International (CRP) or nearby San Antonio (SAT). Choose accommodations close to your venue and allow a buffer day for rest or last-minute prep.

Bonus: Many venues are within 20 minutes of beaches, marinas, and reception sites.

Use Digital Tools for Coordination

We offer video consults, planning PDFs, and shared timelines so everything runs smoothly—even from afar. You’ll feel like we’re right there with you.

Make It a Full Experience for Guests

Include local touches—like a beach welcome bag, seafood dinner, or a group sunset sail. Your guests are traveling to celebrate—make it memorable.

Plan for Epic Photo Moments

Golden hour on the pier. Dunes at dawn. Rooftop toasts under city lights. We’ll scout the best local spots and craft a timeline that gives you space to soak it all in.
