Panama City Beach, FL
Emerald water, 27 miles of beach, and room for the whole weekend. From St. Andrews State Park to the Grand Lagoon, Panama City Beach suits every kind of wedding. I’m Korbin Henderson, and I photograph and film weddings across the Gulf Coast, from Mobile to Panama City Beach.

Why Panama City Beach
Panama City Beach has the same emerald Gulf as Destin, with wide beaches and state parks at both ends.
🌊
The same emerald-green Gulf as Destin, with beaches wide enough for a ceremony and a photo walk afterward.
🏝️
St. Andrews State Park to the east and Camp Helen State Park to the west add jetties, dunes and a coastal dune lake to your options.
🎉
Pier Park, the restaurants on the Grand Lagoon and plenty of rentals make it easy to host your guests for a few days.
🎬
I photograph and film, so one team covers the whole day. Book both for the same number of hours and save 10%.

Photographer’s Picks
Pick one of these for portraits between the ceremony and the reception.
Rocks, clear water and waves breaking on the jetty make for dramatic beach portraits that look nothing like the usual shots.
An undeveloped barrier island you reach by boat or shuttle from St. Andrews. Worth the trip for a secluded engagement session.
Where Lake Powell meets the Gulf. Dunes, a historic lodge and calm lake water in one place.
The city pier reaches far out into the Gulf and frames sunset silhouettes beautifully.
