Bakers Ranch - Florida's Premier Top Rated All Inclusive Wedding Venue was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was timely, on point, and painless throughout the entire process. The quality of their work and overall value was truly beautiful - they put the biggest smile on my wife's face and were incredibly patient with our very loud, very personable group. They kept us on schedule, made sure there was always a drink in my hand, and were just wonderful to work with overall. We actually had more problems with our own wedding party than with Bakers Ranch, which is a testament to their professionalism. I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking to have a stress-free and unforgettable wedding day.

She was energetic and constantly moving to make sure that she captured our day from different angles before the sun set. She was easy to work with and told us how to stand so that we didn’t look too awkward or staged. She even got my 3-year-old nephew to stop moving around and actually look at the camera by giving him a shell to hold which worked perfectly. We received our fully edited pictures back quickly, which was perfect as we are using them in our thank-you cards.

She is a serene visionary with a huge passion for unique and antique, so she is often dreaming up new photography ideas that include touches of vintage flare. Damara is a Cuban-American woman born and raised in the heart of Miami! She has a vibrant personality and is the extroverted, "corkier" half of Popping Champaign that you can rely on to make you laugh through out the day.

As an officiant, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with numerous photographers, and none have been as exceptional to work with as Popping Champaign Photography. They not only excel in delivering breathtaking photos that capture life-changing moments for their clients but also effectively working with vendors to ensure a shared understanding of the desired shots. Their ability to comprehend clients' aesthetic preferences in advance, along with an understanding of which moments and details hold the greatest significance to them, is a skill not all photographers possess. Witnessing the artistry of Popping Champaign is truly amazing. I use them, I recommend them (All. The. Time), and I trust them to deliver true captured beauty in their work.

I enjoyed every second and she has always gone above and beyond what was expected from her and I will always be grateful for that.

Capturing the beauty of your big day as a wedding photographer is a dream come true! I have a heart to serve couples and families, each moment fills my heart, as I capture the details that make your day special.

If you’re considering booking Deanna as your wedding photographer- do it!!! She is an incredibly talented photographer, and was amazing to work with! From our first inquiry phone call, I immediately felt at ease and knew that we would be in great hands. When our venue in Sarasota told us they were unable to host us two days before the wedding, we had to pivot and choose a new venue in Tampa. Deanna was so flexible and understanding about the last minute change! Our entire wedding day was seamless thanks to Deanna and her second shooter Miranda. They did an amazing job of knowing exactly which moments to capture, and brought so much creativity and fun to the process as well. It was the perfect combination of planned and candid moments, and we felt so comfortable and happy all day. It couldn’t have been easy to make the last minute change after planning photos around a completely different venue, but you wouldn’t know it from how confident, professional, and well executed everything was! We got our photos only a week after the wedding, which was the best surprise! The photos all look amazing and did a great job of capturing all of our guests, all of our decor, and all the special moments from the day. I had high expectations, and they exceeded all of them! We are so happy with how beautiful our photos turned out, and will cherish them for the rest of our lives, thank you Deanna!!

While my background initially led me down a path in Financial Compliance, my true calling was always in the realm of art and creativity. I love every aspect of photography, from meeting you and capturing your happiest moments to the post-processing stage. I have been photographing families and new mothers primarily. However, I have discovered that I love photographing weddings just as much! I would love to capture your perfect moments that will be remembered forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Yuliya Fox Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Yuliya contacted us before our ceremony to ask what pictures did we want taken and any special requests, which was very nice of her to introduce herself beforehand and let us know what to expect. Yuliya was very professional and kind, and her work reflects that. We had a beach wedding and it was very hot that day, but Yuliya and her crew acted as if it was just another comfortable day of awesome work. During the ceremony we never even noticed her, but she took the most amazing, detailed photos of us and our family, even our officiant! I would definitely recommend Yuliya to anyone who is looking for a skilled photographer. She made our memories of our wedding day that much more special.

If you want absolutely stunning wedding photos and to work with two of the nicest people on earth, then look no further than Beth Joy Photography. Working with Bethany and John was such a delight from the very moment we had our initial call. We were lucky enough to have our engagement photos taken by Bethany and John and we had such a fun day in Downtown St. Pete. They made us feel so incredibly comfortable and as if we weren't even having our picture taken. Our engagement pictures were stunning and we were so excited to have them photograph our wedding, as well. Throughout our engagement, Bethany kept in touch and made sure we were up to speed with everything. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process. As the wedding day approached, Bethany worked with our wedding planner to finalize the timeline details and ensured that she had a list of all of our requested shots and family photo combinations. When wedding day arrived, my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing! We were so fortunate to have Bethany, John, and Amy (Bethany's sister) photograph our day. The three of them are truly the most genuine, fun, and caring people you will meet and they were such a joy to work with. Not only that, but they captured the most amazing photographs and we are still FLOORED at how beautiful the pictures are. We have yet to create a photo album because we just may have to include every photo since they are all THAT good. Bethany, John, and Amy truly have an eye for capturing the perfect lighting and colors (our sunset photos were to die for). They made us feel at ease during our couples portraits and managed to sneak some amazing candid shots. We cannot thank Beth Joy Photography enough for the most amazing gift of our beautiful wedding photos. We will treasure them forever!

  • Florist
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Longboat Key, FL

Our store has been a pivotal part of the Sarasota floral community for two decades. Started by James Carlton and Arthur Faria in 2000, Tiger Lily was the fever dream and passion project of two artists. Today, our team aims to keep that dream alive by creating intricate, artistic designs for not only weddings, but everyday florals. We aim to make floral designs that reflect our history, and yours!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tiger Lily was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Petra and her team were fast, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive to all of our questions and requests. The quality of their work was nothing short of perfection - the floral arrangements they created were absolutely beautiful and breathtaking, exceeding our expectations in every way. Petra even stayed through our ceremony to quickly repurpose the altar flowers onto the reception tables, making the transition look effortless and flawless. We would definitely recommend working with Tropical Interiors Florist to any couple planning their wedding. They truly went above and beyond to make our special day even more perfect.

AnaFloral was absolutely incredible. We wanted a very colorful wedding with specific flowers in mind, and they patiently tweaked every quote and visual with us until it was absolute perfection. As two brides with similar but different tastes, they were so thoughtful in making sure each bouquet truly reflected each of us individually. That level of care meant everything. The trust we placed in AnaFloral was met and exceeded — they executed our vision exactly as we imagined. When we finally saw the florals, we were completely blown away by how breathtaking they were. All we could say was wow. If you are looking for florals that are intentional, vibrant, and beautifully executed, AnaFloral is the team to trust.

Alisa was one of the vendors I was most excited to work with on our wedding day, for so many reasons! She and Wayne made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable during the engagement session and we had SO much fun. The photos turned out INCREDIBLE and we got so many comments from friends that the photos were such high quality. On our wedding day, Alisa again brought the energy and expertise! She turned all our little details into gorgeous photos, made time for little moments throughout the day, and absolutely went above and beyond to help me and my family. She and Wayne are a dream to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!! We are so thankful to have had such a qualified, fun, and kind team. Thank you!!!
