I knew with my busy work schedule it would be difficult to plan a wedding all by myself and that wedding planners are expensive. Baker's Ranch provides an all inclusive experience from start to finish with their lovely staff and made it so easy. The venue itself if beautiful and has a lot of variety and photo backdrop magic. They were very communicative and professional throughout the whole process. You can have design sessions and they can bring whatever vision you have for your special day to life. I'm so glad I got married here.

Pixiedust Factory LLC

  • Photographer

  • Serves Cortez, 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 booked Carolin as our photographer for our wedding, and let me tell you, the photos are beyond amazing! She didn’t just snap pictures – she captured every single moment perfectly, from the big emotional highlights to the small, unexpected ones that made the day unforgettable. But Carolin was more than just our photographer. She helped us with so much of the planning and was always there with helpful advice, a calming presence, and the ability to make us laugh when we needed it most. Carolin has been with us for years now, capturing all the important moments in our lives. From family portraits to our engagement shoot, and even our newborn photos – she’s documented it all with such care and creativity. We truly can't imagine having anyone else by our side for these milestones. And honestly, this is just the beginning! There will definitely be more photoshoots to come. So, if you're looking for someone who’s not just a photographer but also a friend through the entire process, we can’t recommend Carolin enough!

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.

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.

Rachel and Bill were creative, thoughtful, and so very kind. They were both receptive to our personal style and brilliantly captured our most special day. We could not be more grateful to them for all of the beautiful photos they orchestrated.

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!!

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!

We had the perfect dinner and reception at Bridge Street Bistro following our beach wedding on Anna Maria Island. The food was outstanding, and we heard from many guests that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. We also came down and did a food tasting about a year in advance so that we knew what choices would be best for us. We had a few specific requests on the menu based on our tasting experience and that was no problem for the chef. We even requested the same server for our reception, and they made that happen for us. We worked with Jennifer during all stages of the planning, and she was wonderful – very quick to reply and communicate with, and she provided recommendations for so many things to make our day perfect. She even sent me recommendations for bands with descriptions and sent links to their websites/Facebook pages. This was so helpful! Mojo Filter was a perfect wedding band for our style too! Planning a destination wedding from a different state has it’s challenges, but Jennifer was very accommodating and we appreciated all of the recommendations. We had a fairly large group for our wedding – 65 people so we rented the 3rd floor. This space was perfect for our group. I worked with Jennifer to create the floor plan and seating chart, she had sent multiple options so we could make sure we had the right set up. The band played softly during our arrival and dinner; they were set back in an alcove which worked perfectly – we moved a few tables for the dance floor following dinner. The food and drinks were outstanding, as was the service and decorations. This was one of the most affordable dinner/reception options that we got quotes for, and it was an exceptional choice. I wish that I had more pictures to share!

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.

I used this travel bar for a photo prop for my engagement shoot and it was so pretty! I asked for a rustic set up and a whole set was ready for me when I got there. The owner Brianna was super helpful and we had a great experience!

Working with Alex & Isabel LLC was an absolute joy! From the moment we first connected with Bianca, her communication was fast, fun, and professional yet super friendly. The team is so talented - they were efficient, producing beautiful hair and makeup for the entire bridal party(which was 12 people in total, one of which was a 4 year old who wasn’t feeling the best due to food poisoning). Even with getting started at 5:30am, Bianca, Michelle, & Melissa were very upbeat, fun and brought all the good vibes for the morning. When one of my bridesmaids had an issue with her makeup, Bianca was more than happy to fix it for her. Bianca also stayed on site until I walked down the aisle, giving me a little pep talk before we got started with the ceremony. I can't recommend Alex & Isabel LLC highly enough - they truly helped make our special day perfect!

Nailah Browne, a native of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, first became interested in baking from her grandmother, who had a side business. Browne later completed the bakery program at Manatee Technical College. Browne and Selene Martinez met and became friends at IMG Academy, where Browne was the head baker and that's how StackD Cake Studio was born. At Stack’d Cake Studio, the customer directs how they want their cake built, from cake and size, to flavor of buttercream, filling and toppings.

Nailah from StackD Cake Studio was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding desserts. From our very first interaction, they were attentive, communicative, and cordial, making the entire process a breeze. The cakes and desserts she created for us were not only delicious, but truly amazing, creative, and over the top. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the flavors to the beautiful design. The final products exceeded our wildest expectations and were the talk of the reception, and when I say the talk I mean that our guests were literally wanting more! Specially the Guava Posset!!! We are so grateful to StackD Cake Studio for helping make our special day even more wonderful.
