A historic home belonging to the Ringling family, a gorgeous waterfront historic estate from the 1920’s, Japanese inscriptions & a mini katana to cut the cake, and British accents galore. You know what I call that? My happy place!
We had such an amazing time with Taylor, Josh and their friends and family from all around the world at their destination Florida wedding! Josh grew up in Sarasota FL, the spot of their nuptials, which also explains the Ringling family as mentioned above (Sarasota was the winter home of the Ringling Circus). Taylor and her maids got their hair and makeup done at this historic house, where the inside was a condensed version of the Ringling museums ca d’zan mansion!
The site of their wedding was the historic Powel Crosley Estate (aka Seagate), a Mediterranean Revival-style mansion built in 1929 for Powel Crosley’s wife (romantic much?) overlooking the waters of Sarasota.
Taylor and Josh currently live in Germany (I know…commence intense jealousy) but they met in Japan (again…JEALOUS!!). They infused so much of their Japanese courtship into the day and I was, of course, in love with it! It wasn’t until I was photographing their rings for the second time that day (first time was on a vintage type writer, then I wanted to do some shots on a mini katana), that I realized Taylor had inscribed their wedding date and something in Japanese on Josh’s wedding band! I asked her what it said, and she said “It says I love You”. And then my heart melted.
They were not only surrounded by history and the salty Florida air, but they had friends and family attend from all over the world: Florida, Michigan, Germany, Japan, England, etc.
Taylor and Josh, thank you so much for including us in your special day! We hope your reception in Michigan was just as amazing, and we so wish we could sprout wings and fly to England for your next one! ;-D
