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.

Having We The Blackwells part of our special day was the BEST decision we made for the wedding. We first met at our engagement shoot and immediately knew we found our wedding photographer!! Crist made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera and gave amazing direction to getting the shots we want!! Leading up to the wedding the team was always ready to answer our questions, and talk through our vision. On the big day, they made our day SUCH fun!! They captured incredible candid moments, and have a great eye for detail for our portrait shots. They made everyone feel comfortable and confident working with them, and overall really made our day fabulous. We got our sneak peek photos SO fast after the wedding, and they brought tears to our eyes. Our friends and family loved the photos, and video of our ceremony. My mother-in-law still, 4 months later, raves about how incredible the team was and the great job they did.

Ying Photography

  • Serves Longboat Key, FL

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
As soon as we met Bill and Rachel, we knew 100% without doubt that we had chosen the best photographers. They both have such outgoing personalities, they will keep you smiling even when you are super stressed, and they have ALL of the connections! Through the Ying’s we were also able to connect with our videographer, our day of coordinator, many different hair and make up stylists, and any other vendor you could possibly need. When we received our engagement shoot photos back from the Ying’s, we were floored. We couldn’t wait for our wedding day photos to see all of the precious moments we knew we would have, but that would go by so quickly. On our wedding day Bill and Rachel were there to help sort out any glitches or concerns we had, to help make sure everything flowed just right, and to keep us laughing all day long. Our wedding day photos were literally all of our dreams come true! Any of the little things that didn’t go as planned or weren’t “just right”, Bill and Rachel worked around and made sure that we still got every emotion, smile, and laugh from our entire day captured to look back on forever. The Ying’s are not just photographers, they are THE CHOICE when looking for a photographer, they are the people who are with you through every step of your day, they are who you can count on to capture the details that you may not get to notice or take in on your wedding day, and they are both genuine fun loving people!

Makeup has been my lifelong passion, and discovering my calling in it felt like the most natural thing in the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley is a very talented makeup artist. Everyone she worked on looked gorgeous, and the hairstylist was great too! She has such a good vibe. The only reason I am giving her 4 stars is because it was very stressful for me in the days leading up to the wedding due to some issues with the final count and contract. My advice for you is to be mindful of the number of services or bridesmaids you include in the contract, as you cannot remove them later. Also, before paying the deposit, make sure you are aware of all hidden fees and the total price, because the deposit is non-refundable. Other than that, we are very happy with the services. Thank you so much ️

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

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!

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.

My now husband and I are not very comfortable being the center of attention or getting photographed but Yuliya made us feel very at ease and comfortable when she was around taking photos. All of the photos we got back from her were delivered early and on time, and we were absolutely blown away by how they all turned out. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos!!!

From the carefully curated details to the raw emotions, I am here for it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

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 such a creative photographer and produces photos with a look you can't get anywhere else! Paired with his professionalism, he gives such a great experience!

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!

Eddie brought our spirits right back up when he surprised us with our sneak peak video within days after and send the whole video maybe a week or two later! His eye for detail is superb! He comes from a production back ground so it’s not just a typical wedding video. It’s more editorial almost like a music video. I highly recommend him for your next big event!

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.

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.
