Bakers Ranch is a team of informed wedding professionals who are experts in the unique art of weddings. Our wedding day felt like pure magic, and it is truly thanks to the incredible team at this wedding venue. Our guests were in awe of the space, and we received so many compliments regarding the décor, drinks, food, photographer and overall experience. My husband and I put a lot of time and research into finding the right wedding venue for us, and we walked away from our wedding day with a feeling of pride for our selection, and gratitude for the support we received. We looked at venues across three states. It was a little overwhelming and emotional, knowing that the venue would dictate so much of our time as an engaged couple and ultimately, our one wedding day. Bakers Ranch immediately stood out to us, it was an all-inclusive wedding venue that would eliminate some stress of planning. It had a gorgeous green backdrop of ancient oaks and rich foliage. It had Jeremy, a wedding planner that was calm, reassuring, honest and unlike any wedding professional we had met in our search. We booked the first available Saturday the following year almost immediately. I was also an extremely detail-oriented bride, straight down to the plates, the handmade table cards, and a personal note for each attendee. But it was all perfect. The decor, the flowers, the cocktails, the food, the week before, the day before, the day of, were all a dream. Everything that I communicated was heard. The vision that I had planned for was achieved. It was even better than what we could have imagined. We are extremely grateful to Baker’s Ranch for their incredible work.

She made sure we had a very firm plan in place for wedding day timeline, what my husband and I wanted captured, and if you allow her to have some freedom she will get some amazing shots you never thought of. So on the day of our wedding she seemed to be everywhere all at once and truly made me feel at ease because she had everything under control. Not only are her photos stunning but she is also super fun to be around! I’m can’t tell you how many guests told us afterwards, “Your photographer was awesome!!” That is super rare and she truly feels like a friend and delivers the most stunning photos. HIRE HER TODAY!!!!

I cannot say enough great things about Nicole, Kacie and her entire team. I booked full service planning about 12 months in advance (I knew from research, reviews and their past weddings as pictured on their social media they were the best and they were my first vendor booked!)--it was definitely the best decision we made for our wedding weekend. They were not only professional and detail oriented but they really went above and beyond to make even the smallest details I had wanted for my wedding come to life. They also helped to put together such a wonderful combination of vendors that literally produced the most beautiful wedding many of my guests had ever seen! Kacie was also a dream being one step ahead of me for the execution portion of the day. Everything was seamless-- when people ask me how the wedding day was they are shocked to hear that everything went perfectly to the timeline without ANY issues! The team was amazing on the day of also with keeping me calm--to say my nerves were at an all time high was an understatement as I'm sure many brides can relate haha. Do yourself a favor and book Nicole, Kacie and the team early you will not regret it! Thank you Nicole, Kacie and the NK team for making our wedding day dreams come true, we can't wait for the professional photos to share just how beautiful it was! 3 Maggie, Garrett and Benny :)

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Since my husband and I have met them, we couldn't be happier with our experience. They are perfect and take and edit the most perfect pictures. I was showing everyone (even strangers) how great the pictures were that they took the same night as the wedding. They kept me sane and they kept my mom sane some how which was not easy. We just went to a wedding recently and the whole time I thought, we need the Yings here. They set the standard very high for wedding photographers. They also took our engagent pictures and they were incredible. It rained the last 10 minutes and they ran to get the umbrella for the photo of my husband and I and it turned out AMAZING. I felt bad because they got soaked but they didn't even care. They just want to make sure we were happy

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!

We recently had the pleasure of working with ALP for our wedding, and we cannot express how thrilled we are with the experience and the stunning photographs. From the first phone call discussing our vision (or lack there of because she was the pro and we 100% trusted her eye) to meeting in person for the first time for engagement photos, Amber was incredibly professional, friendly, and made being in front of the camera so natural for my husband and I. On the big day, Amber was a calming presence, effortlessly capturing every special moment without ever feeling intrusive. She was part of the family! Her ability to blend into the background while still getting all the perfect shots is truly remarkable. She has an incredible eye for detail, capturing not just the big moments but the small, intimate ones that made our day so special. The quality of the photographs is simply outstanding.

Rod was our #1 favorite vendor from our wedding. For one, he is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Secondly, he makes it so easy on you. There’s no pressure to perform, he just goes with the flow and the outcome of his work is incredible. There were so many parts of our wedding that we almost felt like we “missed out on” because of taking photos, time spent in the bridal party suites, etc. But after watching the beautiful piece that Rod put together for us, we are able to fully relive and also get to see many moments for the first time. We’ll cherish this video for the rest of our lives. You will not regret hiring Rodney!

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Yanny (pronounced yaw - knee) and I'm a wedding, couples, and storytelling photographer in SWFL. Born and raised in the PNW I like to think that the moody and grey atmosphere from that world has found it's way into my photography style. Candid, raw, full of emotion, and photos that you can "feel" are what I live for! My wife and I live in Sarasota FL with our sweet little boy Moses and our crazy cat Martini. We love the easy-going lifestyle on the gulf coast and whenever I'm free you can find me either exploring a new coffee shop, thrifting, serving at my local church, or spending time with my family!

YANNY is literally the BEST photographer I’ve worked with. My husband and I have done two shoots with him and had an awesome experience. Yanny’s wife is also amazing! We are so blessed by YANNY!

Powel Crosley built the Florida winter home for his wife, Gwendolyn, in 1929. The two-and-a-half-story Mediterranean mansion was built in the southwest corner of Bradenton on a 60-acre parcel of land on Sarasota Bay adjacent to the John Ringling Estate. The 11,000-square-foot home has 21 rooms and 10 baths, and an adjacent carriage house has room for three cars and servants' quarters on the second floor. Originally the mansion had a swimming pool, a seaplane dock and yacht basin. The home featured many innovations for its time, including a steel frame encased in cast stone, embedded pipes and wiring, and a 135-day construction schedule. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, Seagate was saved from commercial development and purchased for renovation by Manatee County, which operates it as a meeting, conference and event venue.

Why you'll love this venue

I wish I wouldve taken more time on my special day to really marvel at all of the estate. There is so much beauty every which way you turn! The staff was so helpful from the moment we booked with them and on the wedding day. Looking back at our photos, I know this was worth every single penny. Book the lawn, your pictures will be outstanding.
