Shooting outside, as opposed to inside, affords a photographer with a lot more options to take photos during the service as you usually have more natural light, you can move around without making too much noise (sand can only make so much noise ;-)), and most angles are available (there are no pillars in the way). Having said that, the one downside to shooting outside, is the sun. It can play havoc if is coming from the wrong direction and you just cannot move it!

This photo was taken from center isle as Eric was placing the ring on Haydee's finger.
