Brad and Abby, so much FUN to work with decided early on to see each other before the traditional walk down the isle. They wanted to get most of the photographs out of the way so they could focus on spending more time with their guests after the ceremony. They married in November at the Venetian with Angela helping them every step of the way.
Angela is AMAZING! The Venetian is a beautiful venue. Brad and Abby had the time of their life…thanks for letting us capture your stunning day!
Sarasota Wedding Photography: Chris and Lindsay – Fun to work with and incredibly in love. I photographed their wedding on November 6th 2010. Lindsay and Chis planned their Sarasota wedding all the way from Tennessee. They were married at the First Baptist Church in Sarasota, on Main Street and their reception was at the Boat house, Hyatt – in Sarasota.

The sentimental walk down the aisle is stunning when the aisle is a wooden bridge onto one of Sarasota’s white powdery beaches. Just as I get sentimental at every wedding I photograph… I cannot grow tired of photographing weddings on the beach… Siesta, Lido, & Longboat Key’s sights and sand are blissful settings for the perfect beach wedding!
This Years favorite Pick for a Sarasota venue is the stunning Powel Crosley Mansion!
The estate features the graceful styling and architecture of a bygone era and yet has all the modern amenities that make for a successful staging of almost any event. Near the Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport, the Powel Crosley Estate sits on Sarasota Bay just south of the new University of South Florida campus on North Tamiami Trail/US 41. The address of the Crosley Estate is
One Seagate Drive, 8374 N. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota. It is one-half mile north of the University Parkway and US 41 intersection. University Parkway is exit # 213 off Interstate 75.
The Crosley Estate offers plenty of free on-site parking. Handicap accessible parking is available.
I have never seen a more magical venue for a wedding. A beautiful, Mediterranean style mansion right on Sarasota Bay. Dancing under the stars. It is absolutely gorgeous at the Crosley. The architectural details are seemingly endless and one of the best things about the
Crosley is that the whole place could be “yours” for the day. Not a random swimmer or wandering tourist will be in sight. The perfect venue for a historical and old Spanish colonial ambiance. It is the mix of antique and tropical that you might bedreaming of.
If you’re looking for a venue that is classic, and original than look no further than the Crosley Estate. Photography opportunity at the Crosley – every time you turn the corner or enter another of the amazing rooms in the Crosley Estate, you see another creative photo in the making. If Photo opportunities are important to you – this is one our top choices for a classy, sophisticated wedding!
