Sarasota Garden Club Wedding

Written by Sheila on July 27th, 2011

What a fun place to get married, the Sarasota Garden Club. You have the entire space to plan and fill with whatever theme you have for your wedding.  Christine and Richard booked me over a year ago, knowing I was “the one” for their wedding.  We sure did make some magic on their wedding day.  So much fun and happiness filled the walls of the Garden Club. Christine hand made all the decorations and signs herself!

Sarasota Garden Club, a hidden gem for events and weddings in Sarasota; lush foliage, gorgeous trees and green grass, and lots of year round flowers blooming.  Thank you Christine and Richard for letting me be part of your special day and for posing for me and doing whatever I threw your way, you guys rock!

 

Hyatt Wedding, Sarasota Florida

Written by Sheila on July 20th, 2011

Katelyn was planning her wedding with James all the way from Japan.   I was in between studio’s and she really wanted to meet with me and see some more of my work.  After sitting at a coffee shop for just a few minutes, I knew that if I was hired for this wedding, it was going to be special.  Hours after meeting she called me up and said that she didn’t need to look any further, she knew I was “the one”.  Flash forward to June, just about a month ago here is a handful of some of my favorite photo’s from the wedding.  So, so sweetly in love – Katelyn and James had the wedding of their dreams and I was there to capture it! I get the goose bumps everytime I think about how closely connected this couple is.  The Hyatt did an amazing job.  I would also like to add that the flowers and the cake were exceptional too!

This may be the single most favorite detail bouquet shot I have ever photographed.  It is completely untouched and straight out of the camera with NO enhancing.  I am proud of that.  Putting my camera on manual and playing with the F stop really pays off if you know what you are doing.  http://www.elegantdesignflowers.com/

The Cake was created by The Cake Zone, simply stunning and perfect in every way.

The Hyatt is a mecca for creative, artful photography for any Sarasota Photographer.

 

Sarasota Yacht Club Wedding

Written by Sheila on July 20th, 2011

Kenneth and Chrissy were married on June 12th in Sarasota Florida at the beautiful St. Barbara’s Greek Orthodox Church.  The lighting in the church was just stunning for photography without flash and the ceremony was a full Greek Mass, which if you have ever attended is very beautiful with many Greek traditions.  After the ceremony at the church and a quick stop at the statue we all know and love, we headed over to the all exclusive Sarasota Yacht Club for a beautiful night of  traditional Greek dancing and dinner.  How much fun with all the music and energetic dancing.  I can not say enough about the impeccable  Sarasota Yacht club!

  

 

Anna Maria

Written by Sheila on May 10th, 2011

Ok.  Sarah interviewed me for her wedding nearly a year ago.  She called me, said she wanted to come to my studio and sign the contract.  Basically she knew I was the “the one”.  Holding true to wanting to have a  no frills, no over the top wedding,  Sarah and Tyler married at the rustic Sandbar restaurant on Anna Maria island.  The weather glorious, the bride elegant and vibrant and the couple; willing to pose and do pretty much do anything I threw at them! Got to love that.

 

Sarasota Ranch Wedding

Ok, most people who come to Sarasota for a wedding want to have their feet in the water, not a pair of cowboy boots! Jennifer and Paul, sticking to their families grass roots, married at the rustic, out east Florida Longino Ranch.  I love the special touches and detail put into this wedding.  Have fun and lets hear some comments below,  These pictures Rock!
