About

We've been photographing and filming weddings since 2017. We're based in Destin and work all up and down the coast — 30A, Panama City Beach, Pensacola, Orange Beach, and most places in between. A little over a hundred weddings in now, and sixty-plus five-star reviews from the couples we've gotten to walk through it with.

What we love is the unscripted stuff. The moment between the moments. The quiet five seconds before the first look, the way a dad exhales when he sees his daughter, the small laugh a bride doesn't know she's doing during her vows. You can't really pose for those. You just have to be paying attention. That's where most of our favorite photos come from, and most of our favorite film moments too.

Photo and film come from the same studio — same aesthetic, same timeline, same team — so a wedding day holds together visually from the getting-ready suite through the last portrait of the night. It's a quieter kind of coverage. Present, but not in the way.

Photo or film starts at $2,800. Photo and film together is $5,600. Highlight films are delivered within a week, with the full film following within four, and the gallery within four to six.

If the Gulf Coast is where your wedding is happening, we'd love to hear about it.

Such an incredible wedding team!

Matt and his team of photographers made our wedding day so incredible!! The 2 photographers who came to our wedding were amazing to work with and supportive when things got a bit rocky in the beginning. They were such a vibe and we're so happy with how all of our photos turned out. Matt was also great with communication from start to finish and we absolutely love how our video turned out. Thank you so much to this team that made our wedding day so special. My husband and I have definitely looked at our photos many many times haha.

Better than we could have ever expected

Our wedding video is some of the best money we spent. Matt and his team are amazing to work with and the final product absolutely surpassed our expectations. The quality is truly amazing and the editing is top notch. Hunter was our videographer the day of our wedding and he was great! Super knowledgeable and easy to work with. I cannot recommend White Sands Weddings enough!

Amazing Videographer!!

Matt is an amazing videographer and truly a joy to work with. He took the time to understand our vision and made sure every moment of our day was captured exactly how we imagined. Our wedding video is something I’ve already watched multiple times, and it makes me smile every single time. The way Matt captured our day is so special, and our wedding truly wouldn’t have been the same without him. I am so grateful we chose him! I would 100% reccomend him!

Wonderful photos

Working with Matt was amazing! He was so kind and professional, and he made the whole experience fun and stress-free. My pictures turned out beautifully — even better than I imagined — and he got them back to me so quickly! I’m so happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend him to anyone

The best!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! This is THE BEST videography/photography company out there! They perfectly captured our special day. I live in GA, so I had to really research to find a company that was a perfect fit for our wedding. Embassy Suites in PCB recommended Matt, and I am so glad they did! Matt and his photographer blended in so well with everyone and were so open to new and creative ideas, which made they day even more fun.

The highlight video is the most beautiful video I have ever seen, it is truly like watching a movie. It is so beautiful that every person we have showed it too has cried! I have watched the video so many times I have lost track. Our pictures came out amazing too. We requested a "natural" look to the photos and they did just that. Everything they captured looks truly amazing. After the sendoff, we asked if we could take photos at the beach under the pier and they said "HECK YEAH!" (pics attached)

I'm so glad I went with the LUXE package, because now we have so much good footage to look back on :)

My husband and I got married on May 24th. On July 8th, my dad suffered a horrific work accident. I texted Matt a few days after this and requested to get a few photos of my dad and I, so I could have some good photos of us to look on for the time being. He was SO kind and had sent me photos ASAP that my family and I were able to look at with my dad. White Sands Weddings is an amazing company that is backed by a WONDERFUL team. Couldn't have asked for a better day. Thank you all so much for making our wedding day such a memorable day!

Wedding video of my dreams!

When I originally thought of how I wanted my wedding video to look, I didn't have a clear vision in my head. One day I stumbled on the White Sands Wedding Instagram page. I was immediately in love with the video montage of a recent wedding that had been posted. I knew I wanted a video just like that...one that captured all the special memories, the faces of the people, the laughter, love and happiness that was not only visible but tangible in each and every moment. I got exactly what I wanted. I love the drone footage, and the tidbits of the ceremony sprinkled within the video. Those little touches made it so much more unique.

Matt was an absolutely amazing person to work with. He was responsive, communicative, flexible and just the nicest person you'll ever meet. He worked seemlessly alongside our photographer to capture all of the most important moments.

I can't recommend Matt Oakes with White Sands Weddings. You will not be disappointed. Matt... thank you from both Paul and I for capturing our special day!!! we have shown the video to so many family and friends...both those there and those who were unable to come and everyone is in love with it. We will be forever be grateful!!
