Alive, electric wedding photography for design-obsessed couples who value their people fiercely and celebrate in iconic, eclectic spaces
Alive, electric wedding photography for design-obsessed couples
who value their people fiercely and celebrate in iconic, eclectic spaces
As Sarasota wedding photographers, we travel across Tampa, St. Pete, Longboat Key, and Anna Maria Island for celebrations filled with color, personality, great outfits, thoughtful design, and people who are fully in it with you! Give us an old-world garden venue, a historic private estate, an art museum, a luxury beach resort, or a wedding weekend with a little extra character, and we are very happily in our element. Available for select travel to NYC, Europe, and worldwide.
We’ve been photographing weddings since 2009, which means we’ve gotten very good at noticing the good stuff before it fully happens. The hand squeeze before the ceremony. The parent trying very hard not to cry. The friend already halfway out of their chair because the dance floor is calling.
That’s where we’re happiest: close enough to catch it, experienced enough to not interrupt it. We’ll gently guide when the moment needs direction, disappear when it doesn’t, and keep your Sarasota wedding weekend moving smoothly without turning your day into one long photoshoot.
You’ll still get the portraits. The pretty ones. The relaxed ones. The ones your family will immediately try to print in an aggressively large size. But the heart of your gallery will be the part you actually lived: the people, the reactions, the dinner-table chaos, the quiet little moments, and the joy that would’ve happened even if no one had a camera.
"You were the perfect balance of getting the portraits we wanted, fixing my hair when I needed it, and then somehow blending into the background for all the candids. We knew we could fully relax because you clearly knew what you were doing!"
FROM HISTORIC SARASOTA ESTATES TO THE PRISTINE SHORES OF LONGBOAT KEY - WE DOCUMENT SUNCOAST WEDDING WEEKENDS WITH STYLE, COLOR, AND PERSONALITY
Whether you're planning a black-tie garden bash at an old-world Sarasota estate, hosting an epic, sun-drenched resort weekend out on Longboat Key, or styling an intimate waterfront dinner party that turns into a wild late-night scene, we're there to capture the actual pulse of it! We don't do stuffy, polite, or staged. We look for the contrast—the intersection of a killer outfit and the raw, unfiltered chaos of a dance floor packed with your favorite people. You design the weekend of a lifetime; we'll bring the energy to match.
SO WHAT DOES THAT ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE?
Your style. Your details. Your fashion moment. The thing that makes the day feel like yours before anyone says a word. Whether it’s a sculptural gown set against old-world Italian stone, a colorful beachfront tablescape, or relaxed-but-polished portraits by the water, we’re there for all of it. Always aiming for photos that feel like you.
The ones who celebrate with you, cry with you, hype you up, and somehow know exactly when you need a laugh. Whether they're gathering for a black-tie welcome dinner on the Gulf or a tented lawn reception, these are the photos that bring the whole room back—capturing the raw, unscripted energy of your favorite people.
The clinking glasses, the candlelit dinner, the loud laugh from across the table, the friend who turns one tiny moment into a whole scene. This is the celebration part—whether it’s a packed ballroom at the Ritz-Carlton, an open-air dance floor over the water, or an intimate dinner party that goes late into the night.
"We love that you captured the true essence of our wedding day -not just the pretty photos, but all of the fun moments that made it memorable!"

I started photographing weddings in 2009, before Pinterest, before wedding trends had names, and before everyone was trying to copy-paste the same internet aesthetic. So I learned to pay attention to what actually lasts: the energy in the room, the people who make the day feel full, and the tiny choices that make a wedding feel like yours and no one else's.
Jay joined me in 2013, and I trained him to photograph weddings the same way I do: tuned in, people-first, calm when it counts, and ready for whatever weird little magic shows up.
I’m from New York, Jay is from Florida, and together we bring a little city energy, a lot of experience, and a very real love for weddings with color, character, style, and deeply personalized. Whether we’re capturing your day along the beaches of Longboat Key or inside a historic Sarasota estate, we make sure you get to actually live the party while we document it.
less perfect,
more real
"Katie & Jay have a way of capturing the moments you didn’t even know to ask for—my husband helping his dad with his bow tie in slippers, my mom hugging me after the ceremony, my husband sitting and talking with our niece and nephew during portraits. Not one of those was on a shot list, but they’re already family treasures"
FROM ART MUSEUMS TO PINK PALACES IN SARASOTA AND LUXURY RESORTS ON LONGBOAT KEY, THESE ARE THE best SUNCOAST WEDDING VENUES
Sarasota Historic Estates & Museums
From The Ringling Museum, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, the Sarasota Courthouse and the Powel Crosley Estate. Perfect for design-obsessed couples who want old-world European stone backdrops, iconic pink arches, historic coastal charm, and massive banyan trees for an editorial outdoor celebration.
Longboat Key & Gulf Coast Luxury Resorts
The St. Regis Longboat Key, The Resort at Longboat Key Club, and The Ritz-Carlton Sarasota. Built for upscale, black-tie beach weekends, pristine gulf horizons, and vibrant, tented lawn receptions right on the water where the party goes late.
A few favorite guides, real weddings, and style notes for couples planning something with color, personality, and that feels like you.
Think Florida venues with character, wedding fashion that actually feels like you, and celebrations where the people and the details both get their moment.
“GIRL!! Literally you are EVERYTHING! You are the most amazing photographer. Somehow you’re both type A and B all at the same time. You kept us on track and eased any tensions all at the same time, I felt like we were best friends.
