Imagine a sunset wedding on the beach, with gentle breezes off the Gulf of Mexico. Or perhaps you want a traditional wedding in a little church, but on location in a tropical paradise. Siesta Key is the perfect place, full of picturesque spots for splendid wedding photographs, with all of the assistance a bride could need close at hand. So many people enjoy their wedding on this little piece of paradise.  Whether it’s just the two of you, or 200 of your closest friends and relatives, Siesta Key has everything you need to create the wedding of your dreams.
Your ideal ceremony could mean tropical clothes and standing barefoot on Siesta Beach, judged the world’s finest, whitest sand. Or gowns and tuxedos under a flowery arch. It might include a champagne toast overlooking the bay, a festive boat ride to your wedding location/reception, or a gourmet restaurant nestled in a tropical garden.  Sunsets are my wedding photography special!

I thought this would show how much fun your weddings can be. Fun comes in every wedding package for free.

The beach is a great place for weddings, it is one of my favorite places to photograph them. Along with fun, beach ball madness, and soft white sand, there’s always a lovely romantic sunset shot on Siesta Key beach in Sarasota.

North Lido beach is a pristine half-mile stretch of sand and very private. South Lido beach is 100 acres of Australian pines, picnic tables, grills, a volleyball court, playground, wooden walkways, trails and canoeing opportunities.

Siesta Key – Siesta Beach is recognized as having the “whitest and finest sand in the world.” Sarasota’s Siesta Key Public Beach extends along a half-mile of the most pristine white sands in the world. The pure quartz, pulverized to a fine powder, has a magical quality. There is no sand quite like Siestas, anywhere. Even under the burning subtropical sun, it feels cool to the touch.

Venice Beach – Fourteen miles of white sand beaches located south of Sarasota, Venice Beach is known as the shark’s tooth capital of the world.

Lush beaches, with the softest of sand.  Sarasota, Florida

One beautiful photo taken at Sarasota Beach weddings is having the sunset behind the couple. To do this, you have to know how to turn on your camera’s flash so it lights the couple. Otherwise, you will have a beautiful silhouette of the couple with a stunning sunset behind them. Both, my favorite way to photograph the couple on the beach!
