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!

My 2023 wedding almost didn’t happen because California experienced the “storm of the century,” which closed down highways and caused major flooding and mudslides throughout the state. Despite being caught in the storm and stuck on the 5 Freeway for hours, Crist and his assistant made it to the venue on time and ready to roll. Crist ensured that everyone was in good spirits and made the most of the day. He was like a personal hype man! We loved his positivity and professionalism.

From the beginning our first meeting together to our wedding day, Michelle was absolutely amazing! Michelle went above and beyond to create our vision for our wedding day. Michelle attention to details and working out ways to help with our budget was fabulous. Although we were not able to be in person for many things as we had a destination wedding, Michelle did her very best over numerous phone calls and zoom calls to create the best wedding day ever! She was also great at recommended many of her vendors who she has worked with for many other wedding. Every little detail at the wedding was amazing. Till this day everyone keeps talking about the wedding! It was beyond perfect with no issues at all. I loved that Michelle had a content creator and within a few weeks we were able to see highlights from our wedding day as we wait for our videographer and photographer to share their content with us. I would highly suggest Michelle as a wedding planner and venue designer in a heartbeat. Michelle and her team were very professional and organized.

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.

Our brides are always raving about the experience of planning with them from beginning to end! Because we get to work with them behind the scenes on the wedding day, I love getting to watch them in action taking care of every little detail, plus doing many things to go above and beyond that I’m betting their clients might not even realize they’re doing (because they’re humble, too!).

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!!

Hello! My name is Yuliya. I am a photographer with a deep passion for capturing beautiful moments and creating visual stories, based in Sarasota, FL. While my background initially led me down a path in Financial Compliance, my true calling was always in the realm of art and creativity. I love every aspect of photography, from meeting you and capturing your happiest moments to the post-processing stage. I have been photographing families and new mothers primarily. However, I have discovered that I love photographing weddings just as much! I would love to capture your perfect moments that will be remembered forever.

Yuliya Fox Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Yuliya contacted us before our ceremony to ask what pictures did we want taken and any special requests, which was very nice of her to introduce herself beforehand and let us know what to expect. Yuliya was very professional and kind, and her work reflects that. We had a beach wedding and it was very hot that day, but Yuliya and her crew acted as if it was just another comfortable day of awesome work. During the ceremony we never even noticed her, but she took the most amazing, detailed photos of us and our family, even our officiant! I would definitely recommend Yuliya to anyone who is looking for a skilled photographer. She made our memories of our wedding day that much more special.

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!

I highly recommend the Worthington for Events for any wedding, bar/bat mitzvah or special celebration!

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.
