About these Hammock Beach Resort Wedding Photos...

Lauren and Brian were married at the Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast, Florida. We were really excited about their wedding - we had taken some awesome engagement photos for Lauren and Brian in downtown Winter Park and they were so much fun to work with! And the funny thing is we had actually taken portraits of Lauren's family a few years back when she was still at FSU. So it was nice to hear from her family again - this time for a wedding!

Lauren and Brian got ready in the main tower suites at Ocean Hammock. That is the large main building that is 12 stories tall and it has a big courtyard area in the middle. All of the suites have an ocean view which is great! Then once the girls were finished getting ready we headed out back to take some pre-ceremony photos. Hammock Beach resort has this huge circular lawn out back that is great for photos and right next to it is a very lush mini-golf area so we decided to take the photos of the girls there. Then we sent the girls back upstairs and the guys came down. We took their photos on the large green circular lawn area that overlooks the ocean.

Lauren and Brian had their wedding ceremony over near the water park area of Hammock Beach. There is a large lawn area with a sidewalk going down the middle to an open air pergola and/or pavilion. The whole area overlooks part of the Club at Hammock Beach golf course and the ocean.

After the ceremony we headed down to the beach to take some photos of just Lauren and Brian. The sand on the beach there in Palm Coast is almost a pink color - it is so pretty! Actually, the newest development that is part of Hammock Beach Resort is called Cinnamon Beach and the name fits because of the color of the sand! It looks like Cinnamon is mixed in with the pink sand. We took a bunch of photos and as we headed back up to the lodge area we passed an intimate wedding that was heading down to have their wedding ceremony on the beach.

The wedding reception was up on the lawn for the Lodge at Ocean Hammock. They had a big tent set up on the back side of the lawn the the front part of the lawn that is closest to the beach was open with the fire pit lit.

The Lodge at Ocean Hammock has a small ballroom inside and we have seen wedding receptions in there (it has a huge balcony that overlooks the ocean and the golf course) but it is for smaller groups. Plus, the weather outside was a perfect fall evening for Lauren and Brian so having it outside worked. The lodge also has traditional hotel rooms - they all have balconies and some overlook the wedding lawn area. And if your guests want something a little bit bigger the suites at the main tower have kitchens, living rooms and separate bedrooms. Then there are even bigger suites at the villas right behind the main tower building - we have also seen people get ready there. And the newer area over by Cinnamon Beach has private homes, too. The whole Palm Coast area is so pretty - I was really excited when they developed it not long ago. The beach area is always very quiet and many times you have the beach all to yourself. There is also a golf course there at The Club at Hammock Beach. And Ocean Hammock also has a yacht called Sundancer Cruises that takes you out starting in the Intracoastal and then out to the ocean and you can have your wedding ceremony and/or reception on that boat, too.
