Siesta Key beach wedding | Sarasota wedding photographer

Lauren and Jonathan got married on beautiful Siesta Key. They rented a wonderful beach house that was right on the beach. You open the back door and you are have the beach right there in front of you! Lots of family and friends flew in from around the country, many of them from areas buried in snow. Everyone was treated to fastastic weather. You just cannot beat Florida weather in February and March! Beautiful sunny skies and a beach with soft white sand instead of white snow? Yeah…..this is like paradise! If you live in Sarasota or plan to have a destination wedding, we highly recommend Siesta Key. Hard to beat this location as a romantic backdrop for a beach wedding.

As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we love weddings and the joy that surrounds them. We also love looking for all of the unique touches that each bride incorporates into her special day. Lauren worked really hard to plan this wedding and it showed. Lots of wonderful details everywhere and lots of fun activities that were worked into the wedding. Of course with this being a beach wedding, there were lots of sea shells and starfish to set the theme. We also loved the little doggie in his little tux and the beautiful flowers and rose petals everywhere. Everyone was treated to a gorgeous sunset. We got beautiful pictures at sunset and just love all of the unique colors that you can see once the sun comes down. Jonathan also wanted some pictures with his baby (the Ford Mustang), so we drove the car up next to the beach and did some pictures next to his car. Lauren also incorporated some really fun activities into the wedding day. After the sun had set and the night had arrived, everyone lit chinese lanterns and sent them off into the night sky. Very pretty to see them floating away into the distance. Everyone also had a lot of fun playing with the sparklers too! This was a very fun wedding with a lovely couple that we know are destined for a lifetime of married bliss together.

Josie and Dennis | Powel Crosley Estate wedding | Sarasota wedding photographers

We have been sooooo busy so far this season that we are just now posting images from the amazing wedding of Josie and Dennis. For those of you that visit our blog often, you may recall this beautiful couple from their Ybor City engagement session. They are such a fun couple and you can definitely see that they have a great chemistry together.

They got married at the Powel Crosley Estate, which is a gorgeous mansion located in Sarasota, Florida. This wedding was almost like a fairy tale come to life. It all started with the gorgeous spring day filled with blue sky and some gentle breezes blowing in from the Gulf of Mexico. The couple just radiated love and happiness as they said their “I DO’s” and that glow of love continued to shine through in the images we captured around the estate. You can just see it in the longing stares they would give to each other and the warm smiles that were constantly on their faces when they looked at each other. It was as if each of them couldn’t believe that this moment that they had dreamt about forever was finally here. As experienced Sarasota wedding photographers, these are the moments that make our jobs so satisfying. It is so wonderful to capture these magical moments and preserve these precious memories for a lifetime. We wish Josie and Dennis a lifetime of married bliss and look forward to capturing many more of their important life events in the future.

Video | The Lake Club at Lakewood Ranch | Sarasota wedding photographer

The following is a video slideshow of some of our favorite images of the recent wedding of RC and Jessica. They got married at The Lake Club at Lakewood Ranch, an exclusive Tuscan inspired private club located just east of Sarasota, Florida. April is such a wonderful time to get married in Florida. The cold spells of winter are done and temperatures are usually in the 70’s with humidity levels that are still very low and comfortable. As experienced Sarasota wedding photographers, we know that those factors make a perfect combination for an outdoor wedding. For those of you that read our blog frequently or follow us on Facebook, you might remember this cute couple. We photographed their engagement session in downtown Tampa and did some pictures with their precious little daughter. They love her so much and everything in their lives revolves around her. They made sure to include her in the wedding. The most touching moment was when midway through their first dance as husband and wife, they brought out their daughter to the dance floor and finished dancing to their song with their precious little angel. Definitely a beautiful sight that made me teary eyed and one that I will always remember.

This couple and their extended family have so much love for each other and it was so heartwarming to have gotten to know this family and capture so many beautiful memories for them. We wish them a lifetime of joy and married bliss.

Florida destination wedding | Siesta Key, Florida | Sarasota wedding photographer

More images from the destination wedding we had the privilege of photographing recently. The wedding took place in beautiful Siesta Key beach, which is located south of Tampa Bay and close to Sarasota, Florida. Everyone had flown down from Pennsylvania and was enjoying our great beaches and sunshine. Surprisingly enough, it was actually cooler in Florida than in the Northeast, where the entire region was enduring a hotter than normal summer and some sweltering heat. Early in the afternoon it was very hot, but luckily soon after the ceremony, the clouds rolled in and after some light rain, really cooled things off nicely and made for a very pleasant afternoon/evening.

As experienced Tampa wedding photographers we really enjoy photographing beach weddings. Siesta Key in particular offers lots of great locations. Beautiful sand dunes, boardwalks and the gorgeous beach and Gulf of Mexico make for some really great photo opportunities. Below are just a few of our favorite images from this beautiful and fun wedding.
