Bakers Ranch is a team of informed wedding professionals who are experts in the unique art of weddings. Our wedding day felt like pure magic, and it is truly thanks to the incredible team at this wedding venue. Our guests were in awe of the space, and we received so many compliments regarding the décor, drinks, food, photographer and overall experience. My husband and I put a lot of time and research into finding the right wedding venue for us, and we walked away from our wedding day with a feeling of pride for our selection, and gratitude for the support we received. We looked at venues across three states. It was a little overwhelming and emotional, knowing that the venue would dictate so much of our time as an engaged couple and ultimately, our one wedding day. Bakers Ranch immediately stood out to us, it was an all-inclusive wedding venue that would eliminate some stress of planning. It had a gorgeous green backdrop of ancient oaks and rich foliage. It had Jeremy, a wedding planner that was calm, reassuring, honest and unlike any wedding professional we had met in our search. We booked the first available Saturday the following year almost immediately. I was also an extremely detail-oriented bride, straight down to the plates, the handmade table cards, and a personal note for each attendee. But it was all perfect. The decor, the flowers, the cocktails, the food, the week before, the day before, the day of, were all a dream. Everything that I communicated was heard. The vision that I had planned for was achieved. It was even better than what we could have imagined. We are extremely grateful to Baker’s Ranch for their incredible work.

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.

Carolin was always there with helpful advice, offering tips and suggestions for our wedding schedule, which made the day flow so much more smoothly.

Crist is the best of the best. Our first experience with him was for our engagement photos. The photos were outside & the day of - it started pouring. Crist was all smiles, energy & positivity, he made the best of the situation & created the most beautiful, romantic, moody engagement photos in the rain. He of course gave us the option to reschedule if we didn’t want the photos taken in the rain - but his optimism was infectious & we trusted his vision. We knew then that he was perfect to capture our wedding. For the wedding he was just as positive & energetic, he made us feel so comfortable & confident.

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.

Ying photography was an amazing company to work with. From the very beginning, they were so friendly and had great ideas. They even helped give us a guideline for a wedding day timeline. They were so knowledgeable and told us exactly how to pose and knew all the most incredible spots for photos with amazing scenery and light. When we got our entire wedding gallery back, we were shocked. They were even better than we could ever imagine! The quality, lighting and variety of photos were incredible. I would highly recommend using Ying photography over and over again!

Capturing the beauty of your big day as a wedding photographer is a dream come true! I have a heart to serve couples and families, each moment fills my heart, as I capture the details that make your day special.

If you’re considering booking Deanna as your wedding photographer- do it!!! She is an incredibly talented photographer, and was amazing to work with! From our first inquiry phone call, I immediately felt at ease and knew that we would be in great hands. When our venue in Sarasota told us they were unable to host us two days before the wedding, we had to pivot and choose a new venue in Tampa. Deanna was so flexible and understanding about the last minute change! Our entire wedding day was seamless thanks to Deanna and her second shooter Miranda. They did an amazing job of knowing exactly which moments to capture, and brought so much creativity and fun to the process as well. It was the perfect combination of planned and candid moments, and we felt so comfortable and happy all day. It couldn’t have been easy to make the last minute change after planning photos around a completely different venue, but you wouldn’t know it from how confident, professional, and well executed everything was! We got our photos only a week after the wedding, which was the best surprise! The photos all look amazing and did a great job of capturing all of our guests, all of our decor, and all the special moments from the day. I had high expectations, and they exceeded all of them! We are so happy with how beautiful our photos turned out, and will cherish them for the rest of our lives, thank you Deanna!!

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!

Sun Flowers By Elizabeth 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Cortez, FL

Sun Flowers by Elizabeth (our middle name!) Was born in 2019 when we decided to take our love for events, hospitality, and of course—FLOWERS and turn it into our dream job. Since then, we have been lucky enough to provide beautiful floral design services for over 150 weddings. We have also been featured in various regionally and nationally recognized wedding magazines, blogs, and publications.

We used Pia for wedding planning, day of coordination, and florals and it was all SO MUCH more than I could’ve even hoped for. The entire experience was amazing. I just love her. Pia is so detail oriented (as well as her entire team) and so attentive to your thoughts, concerns, needs, etc. She was always there to listen to me when I was stressed out or just needed to bounce ideas or concerns off of her. She made the entire process so effortless, it was the best day ever and we genuinely couldn’t have done it without the support of her and her team. You will not be disappointed working with her! No matter the time (many 11pm/12am frantic texts lol), Pia was always there for more and completely understanding/responsive. Totally understood the assignment and brought our vision to life! We had a horrible experience with our original DJ and Pia completely took charge and handled the situation for us with grace, completely taking the stress away from us so it wasn’t something we had to deal with leading out to our big day. She’s just the best and truly so grateful to have had her not only on our big day but the year leading up to it! Cannot recommend enough!

We had a wonderful experience working with Nailah and the team at StackD Cake Studio for our destination wedding. Nailah was extremely responsive, patient, and attentive whenever we contacted her, which was so helpful for planning from afar. The individually packed desserts for the bride and groom and the beautiful dessert bar setup exceeded our expectations. Everything was flawless - the communication, the quality of the cakes and desserts, and the on-time delivery and setup. We would highly recommend StackD Cake Studio to any couple looking for a baker that delivers high quality desserts and an exceptional level of service.

Rod was our #1 favorite vendor from our wedding. For one, he is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Secondly, he makes it so easy on you. There’s no pressure to perform, he just goes with the flow and the outcome of his work is incredible. There were so many parts of our wedding that we almost felt like we “missed out on” because of taking photos, time spent in the bridal party suites, etc. But after watching the beautiful piece that Rod put together for us, we are able to fully relive and also get to see many moments for the first time. We’ll cherish this video for the rest of our lives. You will not regret hiring Rodney!

Let us elevate your event with artisan florals and installations, detail-oriented coordination, personalized elegant design, and refined, handcrafted goods. Your event will be entirely unique and your dream, a rich and vibrant reality.

Working with Kinspoke was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding! My husband and I had a small beach ceremony and I envisioned bold, tropical flowers to stand out against the neutral tones of the beach. I know nothing about flowers and Olivia was able to piece together exactly what I had in mind. Olivia did such an amazing job creating a mood board to allow me to preview some ideas and gave me tons of options to choose from. She was so easy and professional to work with as well! Looking back on my wedding photos, the bouquets are still one of my favorite aspects of the photos and I get tons of compliments on them! I highly recommend Kinspoke for any wedding floral needs! They are just wonderful!

Jennifer did my hair for my wedding celebration!! It was absolutely amazing. She was so sweet & easy to chat with while we did our hair & makeup. Jennifer had a lot of pressure from me… typically brides just have ideas & pictures of what they want their hair to look like and Jennifer is able to perform, but being a COVID bride I already had my actual hair done and absolutely LOVED it (it was in Hawaii though, so I needed to find someone to do my hair for my Florida party) and I wanted my hair identical because I just loved it so much. I couldn’t recommend Jennifer enough! She surpassed and exceeded all my expectations. She also was kind enough to arrange someone to do our makeup. BOOK HER, you won’t regret it!
