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 had the pleasure of booking Carolin as our photographer for our wedding this year, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the very beginning, communication with her was incredibly easy and smooth. She not only captured beautiful moments but also guided us through the entire process. Carolin was always there with helpful advice, offering tips and suggestions for our wedding schedule, which made the day flow so much more smoothly. Her professionalism and warm personality made working with her an absolute joy. When we received our photos, we were blown away by how stunning they turned out—every special moment was captured perfectly. We can’t recommend her enough and would wholeheartedly encourage anyone looking for a photographer to choose Carolin. She really made our day extra special!

We The Blackwells - Blackwell Weddings

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Cortez, FL

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!

The Blackwell’s were so wonderful to work with from beginning to end. Communication was always easy and I could reach out to them anytime I had a question (even in the evenings!!) with an expected quick response. We also had to find and book a photographer while we were out of town for a few months and they made it so easy to video chat and get to know them with no pressure to book when we were searching for our photographer. They did our engagement shoot/wedding photos and communicated very well through the planning of the shoot (we had a themed wedding and evening photos so we need someone who was good and we found it!). You can tell that their biggest concern is always making sure that we get what we want which requires a lot of communication that they were good at. I highly recommend them for any event not just a wedding as I feel you get the best of both worlds with them as your photographer in any type of situation. They make you feel comfortable and herd, but also know how to take quality photos and get them to you fast! Thank you for making our day so extra special and giving us memories that will last a lifetime!! I cherish our wedding photos and love to show them off!!

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.

She is a serene visionary with a huge passion for unique and antique, so she is often dreaming up new photography ideas that include touches of vintage flare.

As an officiant, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with numerous photographers, and none have been as exceptional to work with as Popping Champaign Photography. They not only excel in delivering breathtaking photos that capture life-changing moments for their clients but also effectively working with vendors to ensure a shared understanding of the desired shots. Their ability to comprehend clients' aesthetic preferences in advance, along with an understanding of which moments and details hold the greatest significance to them, is a skill not all photographers possess. Witnessing the artistry of Popping Champaign is truly amazing. I use them, I recommend them (All. The. Time), and I trust them to deliver true captured beauty in their work.

Nicole’s mission is to direct every detail of a wedding with creative flair and unparalleled service. The NK Productions Team has grown to 4 lead planners, a full time office manager, office assistant and, not to mention our “day of” wedding team of 14 ladies.

Awarded Best of Zola
You know how they say planning a wedding is one of life's big stressors? Well if they found Nicole's team from the start, the saying wouldn't exist. If you're reading this, trust me - hire them! I got married over a year ago and I am still one of those annoying brides who talk obsessively talk about their wedding because of them. I got the opportunity to meet the whole team through various visits but primarily worked with Kacie. Is it weird to miss talking to your wedding planner? Kacie is the full package - she is enthusiastic to your ideas, offers creative solutions and is incredibly patient when you change your "vision" a billion times like I did. She presented vendors at different price points and offered cost efficient alternatives to stay on budget. We loved every single vendor we chose and that's easily because Nicole's team has vetted out the good/ reliable ones. I was an (type A) out of state bride so was relatively nervous but Kacie's professionalism is what sold me. She would constantly update me on progress, patiently answer all questions and never pressured me into a decision. No task is to big or too little for this team- we went from deciding how to fold napkins all the way to sending guests different housing accommodations when the hotel sold out. What makes this team special is their innate attention to detail - I was absolutely floored when I saw it all come together when the day finally arrived. It was so much more beautiful than I ever imagined! Thank you Kacie and team for orchestrating my fairy tell wedding

This is us. We are Rachel and Xiwei. She’s old-fashioned. She likes quilting, folk music, and snuggling baby goats. He’s a modern man. He likes computers, technology, and watching action movies. Somehow we met and fell in love. I guess opposites do attract! Now we have three adorable children that we love spending time with, whether it’s fighting over who gets to play one of our 3 gaming consoles (how many consoles can a family have?!) or spending an afternoon outside at the beach we wouldn’t have it any other way. Modern tech doesn’t scare us, we’ve got cutting-edge cameras and equipment. But neither do time-honored traditions.

We had a December wedding with Bill & Rachel at Bakers Ranch. We LOVED these duo for our special day! They caught all of the details are allowed us to relive the day with the MANY photos!

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!

Amber was everything we could have asked for in a photographer and more! Our initial interaction with her at our engagement photo session was nothing short of exceptional. She is very attentive to how we act with the camera and works with us as individuals to capture us at our best. The atmosphere she sets is very relaxed which makes it easy to be genuine even in front of the camera, which neither my wife nor I are particularly accustomed to. Amber is also very open to experimentation and willing to try out unconventional shots and angles to see what could work best with us. This attitude led to some amazing pictures that could only have been captured with her particular approach to photography. All of these outstanding qualities were in full swing during our wedding at Bok Tower. Amber was ready to go early and had a very structured plan for how she was going to approach pictures throughout the whole day. We got an amazing spread of portrait pictures with the wedding party, family pictures, and bride/groom pictures. We hit multiple locations throughout the day and Amber instructed us perfectly for any shots she envisioned while still giving us full autonomy over any specific poses/locations that we wanted to have. I could not say a single negative thing about our experiences and would highly recommend anyone who was looking for a photographer for their engagement/wedding to seek out Amber to be their go to pick! I know that if we are looking to get more professional pictures done in the Florida area, Amber would be at the top of our list for photographers!

Sun Flowers by Elizabeth (our middle name!) Was born in 2019 when we decided to take our love for events, hospitality, and of course—FLOWERS and turn it into our dream job. Since then, we have been lucky enough to provide beautiful floral design services for over 150 weddings. We have also been featured in various regionally and nationally recognized wedding magazines, blogs, and publications.

We hired Pia as a 6-week coordinator and florist for our wedding this last September, but she was so much more! Pia began helping with recommendations and advice over e-mail/zoom long before the 6 week mark and I could not have made it through the wedding planning process without her. The “coordinator” at my venue changed several times throughout the year and it was so reassuring to know that I had Pia as a constant who knew all of the details. Just because your venue states a coordinator is provided, does not mean you shouldn’t hire your own! Their coordinator will focus on the venue, but Pia focused on us first. She ensured our day was exactly what we dreamed of and took care of all contact with my vendors in the 6 weeks leading up to the wedding! She handled the minor hiccups that came our way without a hitch and always provided a calming, reassuring hand. Our florals and decor were exactly what I hoped for and so beautiful! It took my breath away when I first saw her bring my bouquet to the bridal suite. I highly recommend 1000% and cannot thank you enough for everything Pia!!!

I believe that every love story is a beautiful adventure, filled with laughter, joy, and heartfelt moments that deserve to be preserved forever. I prioritize getting to know you, understanding your vision, and building a genuine connection so that we can capture the authentic emotions that make your day truly special. My warm and friendly approach helps set the stage for candid moments, allowing your true selves to shine through in every shot.

I had the pleasure of working with Anastasia for my boudoir photoshoot, which I used as a gift for my fiancé, and the results were absolutely stunning! The photos came out beautifully, presented in a gorgeous foil box that added such a special touch. My fiancé was beyond impressed! We were so happy with the experience that we also had Anastasia photograph our elopement, and once again, she delivered incredible results. The attention to detail, the way she captures emotions, and her professionalism made both experiences amazing. We couldn’t be more satisfied with her work and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares about creating memorable, high-quality images.

Jennifer did my hair for my wedding celebration!! It was absolutely amazing. She was so sweet & easy to chat with while we did our hair & makeup. Jennifer had a lot of pressure from me… typically brides just have ideas & pictures of what they want their hair to look like and Jennifer is able to perform, but being a COVID bride I already had my actual hair done and absolutely LOVED it (it was in Hawaii though, so I needed to find someone to do my hair for my Florida party) and I wanted my hair identical because I just loved it so much. I couldn’t recommend Jennifer enough! She surpassed and exceeded all my expectations. She also was kind enough to arrange someone to do our makeup. BOOK HER, you won’t regret it!
