Shutter Speak

Lakewood Ranch, FL
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,795

Wedding photography is a family heirloom to be treasured and passed down through the generations. It is a great responsibility to photograph your wedding and one that I am honored that you are considering me for. Weddings are fun, hectic, sometimes chaotic days, filled with laughs, tears of joy, and a celebration of lifelong love. I will be with you from the start of your wedding planning process and after. While many of the vendors you pick you will only interact with just once or twice until the wedding day, your photographer is your partner both before and after the wedding. Contact us to learn more about our exceptional service team.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Shutter Speak for our wedding and it was the perfect choice. Joe was professional and very detail oriented. He took a mixture of posed and candid shots, some color and some black-and-white. He worked particularly well with the children ("say pizza!") and we have some terrific pictures of them dancing and having fun. At the end, he created a beautiful photo slideshow that I was able to share on Facebook, as well as wedding albums we and our family will be able to treasure for years to come. I highly recommend Shutter Speak!

We absolutely loved Bakers Ranch. We fell in love with the venue as soon as we toured it and immediately signed our contract to have our wedding there. The entire staff was amazing in helping us plan everything and making the actual wedding day go super smooth. They kept us on track and made sure everything came out exactly as we envisioned it. Missy & Cheyenne were the best wedding helpers we could’ve asked for & helped make our vision come alive. So much of the stress you hear about coming with a wedding was alleviated from us having it at Bakers Ranch.

Let’s make your special day as unique and joyful as your journey together. Your vision, our expertise—let’s make wedding magic!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Chrissy, as our Day of Coordinator, and overall, the experience was positive. She was incredibly nice and helpful, especially when it came to managing last-minute details. Chrissy stepped in seamlessly to take over everything I spent a year planning and handling unexpected changes, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. However, one area of improvement would be the level of attention to some of our must-have moments. We would highly suggest requesting a second announcement for the cake cutting, as there was so much cake left over from a 4-tier cake and guests wanted to take some with them. Additionally, we felt that we didn’t get as much exposure or focus as we had hoped compared to other couples, other than a picture of the blank balcony, but Chrissy was still able to help. Despite these minor issues, Chrissy was professional, attentive, spunky, and genuinely committed to making our day special. We appreciate the effort and dedication put into the day of coordinating our wedding, especially since it was in the Panhandle.

  • Serves Lakewood Ranch, FL

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!

We’re a family owned wedding photography company that knows firsthand that saying yes to forever means something — and we’ve dedicated our lives to helping couples immortalize that moment of “I Do” to carry them through the years. We’re an inclusive family where all are welcome!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Blackwells were the perfect photographers for our wedding. We had a really hard time finding photographers in our area that would fit the vibe of our wedding and wedding party. Our actual marriage ceremony was an elopement style ceremony in a very non-traditional location and Crist was such a good sport with making me feel comfortable and flexible with the timing and location. On such a stress and anxiety-filled day, he was the easiest and most pleasant person to be around and actually made me feel a lot more at ease during the whole ceremony. Not only did our photos come out beautiful, he was able to capture the atmosphere of our elopement and party. I am so happy that I have the photos to remember such a special time in our lives. I can say without a doubt that Crist went above and beyond. He was helping settle the guests and get everyone together for photos... I am so grateful for him and his people skills. I love our pictures and will be using the Blackwells in the future for other photos and memories.

Emma-Rose literally manages to be everywhere and captures every image and magical moment ... she'll stand on chairs, climb on rocks, go in the ocean - whatever is necessary to get that perfect shot. Along with her talent, she is so darn fun to be around and made taking photos really enjoyable even during our wedding reception.

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!!

We found Beth Joy Photography before we actually even picked a venue and wedding date because I knew I wanted her and her husband to take our wedding/engagement photos! So much so that we made sure our wedding venue/date coordinated with their calendar before booking it. I cannot express to you how incredibly lucky we feel to have had our pictures taken by them. Of course the way they softly edit photos while bringing the color and brightness to life won us over initially, but the communication, timely turn around, the way they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, their helpfulness, dependency, organization, and genuine kindness, are just some of the many other reasons we would recommend them to everyone! You truly won't be disappointed and I am sure you will love your pictures and experience with them just as much as we did!

Everyone that works there are absolutely amazing. They took so much stress off my shoulders and made our wedding day the best day of our lives. Would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Our store has been a pivotal part of the Sarasota floral community for two decades. Started by James Carlton and Arthur Faria in 2000, Tiger Lily was the fever dream and passion project of two artists. Today, our team aims to keep that dream alive by creating intricate, artistic designs for not only weddings, but everyday florals. We aim to make floral designs that reflect our history, and yours!

Tiger Lily was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Petra and her team were fast, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive to all of our questions and requests. The quality of their work was nothing short of perfection - the floral arrangements they created were absolutely beautiful and breathtaking, exceeding our expectations in every way. Petra even stayed through our ceremony to quickly repurpose the altar flowers onto the reception tables, making the transition look effortless and flawless. We would definitely recommend working with Tropical Interiors Florist to any couple planning their wedding. They truly went above and beyond to make our special day even more perfect.
