Steven and Amanda, Married in June at the Longboat Key Club. This was nothing less than a spectacular Florida beach wedding!

The staff at the Longboat Key Club was amazing! The beach and the water was just stunning. A great time was had by all!

Anna Maria

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.

Jeremy and Breanna where married at the Longboat Key club in February of this year. The service, the water, the beach – Just stunning!

A Longboat Key Club wedding is perfect for out of town couples, you could have a gorgeous room with ocean views for you and your guests to enjoy.

The entire bridal party can get ready in the spacious room and walk out onto the pristine beach.

Beautiful bright oranges and yellows in this wedding on the beach.

The backdrop for this wedding was stunning. White Sand and azure water and the Longboat Key Club staff near by to help with every step of the process.

Congratulations Breanna and Jeremy, and hats off to the Longboat Key Club for hosting another gorgeous wedding on the beach!

Lido Beach Dash

After an hour talking “shop” Mical, Kirk and I ran around my new studio on Central Avenue taking a few photo’s near an interesting tree someone planted not too long ago, then we made a mad dash to the north Lido beach to catch the sunset for a few gorgeous beach shots. All these photo’s were taken with only minutes left to catch the sunset. Lido Beach – what can I say: Just stunning; perfect sunset and the funnest couple ever.

If you are planning a wedding on Lido beach, we can help you get the engagement and wedding pictures of a lifetime – we love Lido and it is our favorite beach in Florida ;)

From here, downtown Sarasota- we jump into the rental and head to North Lido Beach. Only 20 minutes until Sunset and a huge amount of traffic on St. Armand’s Circle but we get to the beach with enough time to get some amazing shots. I’ve got to admit, the lighting and the colors of this particular evening were just vibrant. Most of the photo’s below are right out of the camera, with little to no enhancement. What luck, the sunset was perfect and the water was azure blue.

Ok – i am totally in love with their eye color – because of the lighting of the day and their natural beauty, their eyes seem to glow with vibrancy. As I was photographing Mical and Kirk, I could see right in the camera the beautiful color of their eyes. I didn’t say anything about it, but I was really excited to go home and see if it was actually captured like I saw it on the beach. Yep.

They brought a change of clothes with them and their own beach hats; what could be more perfect?

A perfect Lido Beach Sunset. I am loving this series of the next 3 photographs, with the couple and their straw beach hats. LUV!

Kirk and Mical are planning their wedding from Georgia to Florida and will be getting Married on October 15th, 2011 and I am honored and excited to be a part of their special day – See you soon.

Siesta Beach Wedding

Ashley and Brian (and baby) make 3! This adorable couple had a small gathering on the beach at the north end of Siesta beach – a cold, grey and windy day- the couple, the day, the family and the photo’s were fantastic anyway! Congratulations and Enjoy!
