I knew with my busy work schedule it would be difficult to plan a wedding all by myself and that wedding planners are expensive. Baker's Ranch provides an all inclusive experience from start to finish with their lovely staff and made it so easy. The venue itself if beautiful and has a lot of variety and photo backdrop magic. They were very communicative and professional throughout the whole process. You can have design sessions and they can bring whatever vision you have for your special day to life. I'm so glad I got married here.

Hi everyone, I’m Carolin, originally from Würzburg, Germany, and now living in Bradenton, Florida. For over 11 years, I’ve been a professional photographer, specializing in weddings, couples, and families. My background in graphic design helps me focus on capturing beauty and detail to create lasting memories. In my free time, I love relaxing at Anna Maria Island’s beaches with my husband Philipp and starting my day with a Chai Latte from Starbucks. I’m also passionate about exploring new cultures and traveling. Can’t wait to get to know you!

We were looking for a photographer who would capture our special day in more than just photos. It was essential for us to have someone who could convey emotions and capture those natural moments. Let’s be honest—typical posed wedding photos aren’t something anyone looks back at later. With Carolin, we hit the jackpot! She is incredibly friendly and works professionally, delivering results that are amazing and worth every euro. We chose the full package with photos and a wedding film, and we couldn’t be happier with that decision. Our friends and family love the memories of our wonderful day, and the enthusiasm from our guests for Carolin has led to several bookings for more weddings and family photos—what better compliment could she receive? Everything went smoothly from the start. Whenever we had questions or felt uncertain, Carolin was always there to help and listen. Her self-created wedding planner was an incredible aid for our timeline. If you want unique memories of your wedding that are anything but ordinary, Carolin is the perfect choice. We are so grateful for everything and look forward to showing this wonderful video and these photos to our children one day. A heartfelt thank you to Carolin! To all future brides and grooms, you can’t go wrong by choosing her. Book her, and cross that off your to-do list!

Emma-Rose photographed our beach wedding beautifully and we highly recommend Sandhill Photography! She was energetic and constantly moving to make sure that she captured our day from different angles before the sun set. She was easy to work with and told us how to stand so that we didn’t look too awkward or staged. She even got my 3-year-old nephew to stop moving around and actually look at the camera by giving him a shell to hold which worked perfectly. We received our fully edited pictures back quickly, which was perfect as we are using them in our thank-you cards.

Hi! We are Zoe and Damara, a Southwest Florida based best friend wedding photographer duo who is open to traveling anywhere!

She is a serene visionary with a huge passion for unique and antique, so she is often dreaming up new photography ideas that include touches of vintage flare. Damara is a Cuban-American woman born and raised in the heart of Miami! She has a vibrant personality and is the extroverted, "corkier" half of Popping Champaign that you can rely on to make you laugh through out the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
As an officiant, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with numerous photographers, and none have been as exceptional to work with as Popping Champaign Photography. They not only excel in delivering breathtaking photos that capture life-changing moments for their clients but also effectively working with vendors to ensure a shared understanding of the desired shots. Their ability to comprehend clients' aesthetic preferences in advance, along with an understanding of which moments and details hold the greatest significance to them, is a skill not all photographers possess. Witnessing the artistry of Popping Champaign is truly amazing. I use them, I recommend them (All. The. Time), and I trust them to deliver true captured beauty in their work.

The NK Productions Team has grown to 4 lead planners, a full time office manager, office assistant and, not to mention our “day of” wedding team of 14 ladies.

Awarded Best of Zola
You know how they say planning a wedding is one of life's big stressors? Well if they found Nicole's team from the start, the saying wouldn't exist. If you're reading this, trust me - hire them! I got married over a year ago and I am still one of those annoying brides who talk obsessively talk about their wedding because of them. I got the opportunity to meet the whole team through various visits but primarily worked with Kacie. Is it weird to miss talking to your wedding planner? Kacie is the full package - she is enthusiastic to your ideas, offers creative solutions and is incredibly patient when you change your "vision" a billion times like I did. She presented vendors at different price points and offered cost efficient alternatives to stay on budget. We loved every single vendor we chose and that's easily because Nicole's team has vetted out the good/ reliable ones. I was an (type A) out of state bride so was relatively nervous but Kacie's professionalism is what sold me. She would constantly update me on progress, patiently answer all questions and never pressured me into a decision. No task is to big or too little for this team- we went from deciding how to fold napkins all the way to sending guests different housing accommodations when the hotel sold out. What makes this team special is their innate attention to detail - I was absolutely floored when I saw it all come together when the day finally arrived. It was so much more beautiful than I ever imagined! Thank you Kacie and team for orchestrating my fairy tell wedding

This is us. We are Rachel and Xiwei. She’s old-fashioned. She likes quilting, folk music, and snuggling baby goats. He’s a modern man. He likes computers, technology, and watching action movies. Somehow we met and fell in love. I guess opposites do attract! Now we have three adorable children that we love spending time with, whether it’s fighting over who gets to play one of our 3 gaming consoles (how many consoles can a family have?!) or spending an afternoon outside at the beach we wouldn’t have it any other way. Modern tech doesn’t scare us, we’ve got cutting-edge cameras and equipment. But neither do time-honored traditions.

For an excellent wedding photographer who is beyond your expectations to capture every moment of your special day, look no more! Ying photography was beyond my expectations! Not only for the quality of their photos, but they are passionate about their work, like if they were taking photos of their own family and friends' weddings. Rachel and Xiwei Ying were highly professional from the start! The photos are breathtaking. They were so detailed-oriented in my wedding ceremony and reception that I cried at how they captured every special moment in every photo so beautifully. I highly recommend Ying Photography if you want the experience of a lifetime on your wedding day!

If you want absolutely stunning wedding photos and to work with two of the nicest people on earth, then look no further than Beth Joy Photography. Working with Bethany and John was such a delight from the very moment we had our initial call. We were lucky enough to have our engagement photos taken by Bethany and John and we had such a fun day in Downtown St. Pete. They made us feel so incredibly comfortable and as if we weren't even having our picture taken. Our engagement pictures were stunning and we were so excited to have them photograph our wedding, as well. Throughout our engagement, Bethany kept in touch and made sure we were up to speed with everything. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire process. As the wedding day approached, Bethany worked with our wedding planner to finalize the timeline details and ensured that she had a list of all of our requested shots and family photo combinations. When wedding day arrived, my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing! We were so fortunate to have Bethany, John, and Amy (Bethany's sister) photograph our day. The three of them are truly the most genuine, fun, and caring people you will meet and they were such a joy to work with. Not only that, but they captured the most amazing photographs and we are still FLOORED at how beautiful the pictures are. We have yet to create a photo album because we just may have to include every photo since they are all THAT good. Bethany, John, and Amy truly have an eye for capturing the perfect lighting and colors (our sunset photos were to die for). They made us feel at ease during our couples portraits and managed to sneak some amazing candid shots. We cannot thank Beth Joy Photography enough for the most amazing gift of our beautiful wedding photos. We will treasure them forever!

Ashley is a very talented makeup artist. Everyone she worked on looked gorgeous, and the hairstylist was great too! She has such a good vibe. The only reason I am giving her 4 stars is because it was very stressful for me in the days leading up to the wedding due to some issues with the final count and contract. My advice for you is to be mindful of the number of services or bridesmaids you include in the contract, as you cannot remove them later. Also, before paying the deposit, make sure you are aware of all hidden fees and the total price, because the deposit is non-refundable. Other than that, we are very happy with the services.

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Yanny (pronounced yaw - knee) and I'm a wedding, couples, and storytelling photographer in SWFL. Born and raised in the PNW I like to think that the moody and grey atmosphere from that world has found it's way into my photography style. Candid, raw, full of emotion, and photos that you can "feel" are what I live for! My wife and I live in Sarasota FL with our sweet little boy Moses and our crazy cat Martini. We love the easy-going lifestyle on the gulf coast and whenever I'm free you can find me either exploring a new coffee shop, thrifting, serving at my local church, or spending time with my family!

We couldn't be happier with the amazing wedding photos captured by Yanny!!! We truly appreciate him for his passion and dedication as he has a remarkable talent for creating stunning portraits that truly reflect our personalities and the essence of our relationship. He effortlessly captured the most intimate moments of our special day and his keen eye for detail and ability to capture emotions in every shot truly sets him apart. We are beyond grateful for the timeless memories he has given us and will cherish these photos for a lifetime. We always highly recommend his services to everyone!!!

Their communication was incredibly thorough, as they discussed every detail with us, even more so than our previous venue.

Hi there! My name is Katie & I always seem to accidentally plan anything into an event of some kind and before I knew it people were asking me to do it for them for almost every life occasion they had. I genuinely enjoy planning/coordinating anything wether it’s a wedding, birthday party, baby shower, bridal shower, etc. I have great communication skills, especially with other vendors, which is important for every detail to be captured/ displayed on the day of your event.

Awarded Best of Zola
After hiring & firing our partial planner who didn’t listen to our needs and kept pushing her ideas/expertise on to us, I was already burnt out on wanting to find someone else but I knew I couldn’t execute this wedding on my own. Enter Katie! I remember venting to her about our frustrations from our previous planner and what we were looking for and she was ready to jump in from that night on. Katie was super flexible and accessible from that night on, always gave me great advice & feedback on anything I gave her and kept everything (including my head) together. On the day of the wedding, she was super cool, calm and collected even when we started to run behind. Her and her assistant Kylie was a big help in getting everything set up in the venue, maintaining communication with family, wedding party and all the vendors and most importantly, making sure we were always eating LOL. I can’t tell you how grateful I was to her when she gave me a plate of the grazing table & a drink while we were taking pictures during cocktail hour. A big thing for me was how she was able to help me with dealing with my mother and all of our instances of wanting to take control; she really does support her couples and only wants what's best for them & their vision. I’m so grateful to Katie for coming in our lives when she did and helping us pull off this wedding!

Powel Crosley Estate

Sarasota, FL
  • Venue
  • Up to 800 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

Powel Crosley built the Florida winter home for his wife, Gwendolyn, in 1929. The two-and-a-half-story Mediterranean mansion was built in the southwest corner of Bradenton on a 60-acre parcel of land on Sarasota Bay adjacent to the John Ringling Estate. The 11,000-square-foot home has 21 rooms and 10 baths, and an adjacent carriage house has room for three cars and servants' quarters on the second floor. Originally the mansion had a swimming pool, a seaplane dock and yacht basin. The home featured many innovations for its time, including a steel frame encased in cast stone, embedded pipes and wiring, and a 135-day construction schedule. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, Seagate was saved from commercial development and purchased for renovation by Manatee County, which operates it as a meeting, conference and event venue.

I really am speechless when it comes to the Powel Crosley. I am so incredibly thankful we hosted our destination wedding here with them. I wish I wouldve taken more time on my special day to really marvel at all of the estate. There is so much beauty every which way you turn! The staff was so helpful from the moment we booked with them and on the wedding day. Looking back at our photos, I know this was worth every single penny. Book the lawn, your pictures will be outstanding.
