Siesta Beach Wedding
Wednesday, January 26th, 2011Beach Weddings, something very blue!
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010I am an admitted pure beach bum, always have been. Nothing makes me happier than an amazing beach and that amazing blue azure water that you find all over the tropics. If you haven’t discovered the beauty of Sarasota, a destination that is not only perfect for a beach wedding, but is also one that enables you to relax as well as enjoy breathtaking scenery and warm hospitality.
Longboat Key Florida; a quiet elopement
Sunday, August 8th, 2010Without much of the stigma it once held, elopement marriage is rising in popularity among budget-conscious couples. Adele and Clark decided to get married on their own terms! The focus was on the couple and their wishes—not on the extravagant extras, which can be costly. However, in the same way a traditional bride and groom select the wardrobe, flowers, food and music that best suit them, a unique venue can make an elopement memorable. Lucky for us, the Sarasota area is so centrally located that there are several world-class elopement destinations nearby. The city, hotels, parks and as Adele and Clark chose, the beach! With a few surprises and an abandoned house around the corner. See more of the photographs in the “pages” section to the right.
For Elopement and Destination Packages, I recommend working with Sand Petal Weddings:
New Romantic Wedding Gallery

The layout of my website has remained the same, but all the galleries, Brides, Details, Albums, and Parties have fresh fun images for your viewing pleasure. Click the image below and browse the slideshows. The images come from Sarasota, Tampa, Venice, and all over south west Florida.
Lakewood Ranch Club
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club has developed a reputation of being the areas premier wedding and event location. Set in the beautiful community of Lakewood Ranch, The Country Club has been exquisitely designed to accommodate everything from outdoor ceremonies, receptions, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, baby showers, corporate meetings, holiday events, charity golf outings and much, much, more.
Several couples that I have recently photographed are planning to have their future wedding at the Club. Check out Jessie and Matt and Michael and Jessica’s engagement photo’s in my ‘Your Story’ column on my blog home page. You can follow their progress and see photo’s of their upcoming wedding at Lakewood Ranch.
I highly recommend this gorgeous setting for a “Want IT All Wedding: From the beginning, the loveliest bridal room for the entire wedding party to get ready in to the elegant 4,200 square foot grand ballroom which is designed with tasteful chandeliers, richly colored carpet and a balcony that overlooks the golf course, nature preserve, and fountain-filled lake. Scenic Fountains and lakes, decorative bridges and a great view of the Country Club from outside create a great back drops for amazing wedding photography.
