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!

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!

Let’s get to know each other! 👋🏼 Hi, I’m Brittany — and I’m so excited you’re here! First of all, thank you for considering me to be a part of your special day. With over 10 years of experience in wedding planning and design, I’ve had the absolute joy of helping couples bring their dream weddings to life. When I’m not coordinating timelines or fluffing veils, you’ll find me soaking up the sun ☀️, sipping on coffee ☕, or spending time with my crew — my husband of 7 years, our two amazing kids and our two pups, Bear and Boone.

From the very first conversation, they brought an incredible mix of professionalism, creativity, and calm energy that made us feel completely at ease. They took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Every detail, from vendor coordination to the timeline and all the last-minute changes, was handled with care and precision. On the day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. They made everything run flawlessly, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our friends and family. Brittany went above and beyond — not just in logistics, but in emotional support and thoughtful touches that made the experience feel so personal. If you're on the fence about hiring a planner or coordinator, don’t hesitate. This team is worth every penny and more. We truly can’t thank them enough for making our dream day come true!

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.

We are college sweethearts, married since 2014.

We can't wait to hear from you, learn your love story, and create photo magic together!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't even begin to express how in awe I am of our wedding day photos. Bethany and John have beautifully captured one of me and my husband's core memories. Our photos are light, dreamy, radiant and colorful - candid, posed and fun, at all the best and most flattering angles - everything I was looking for when searching for a photography team. At a personal level, Bethany and John are the most kind hearted souls. We felt so comfortable with them, cared for, and looked out after. For example, we had some family members try to input themselves into what was supposed to be me and my husband's special moments, and John and Bethany politely stepped in and took care of it, with grace and confidence. I so appreciated John for paying close attention to details - he would fix a fly away hair, ask me to sit up a little straighter, or adjust my arm in a more flattering way. The both of them can just so wonderfully read a room and the people in it. I never had to ask them of anything, they can just sense and spot a special moment. Bethany is so organized and her timeline, ideas, and plan were so carefully and thoughtfully played out! For someone who can be quite meticulous and analytical times, I'm as happy as can be and overly satisfied.. We now have the most beautiful engagement session photos and wedding day photos I could have ever asked for. We can't wait for family photos with Bethjoy when we add a little one to our lives! Thank you Bethany and John, for the best keepsakes, and for being you!

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.
