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

  • Classic style

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!!

Thank you so much for being here! We're Beth & John, the husband and wife team behind Beth Joy Photography! Together, we have fallen in love with the art of photography, and work side-by-side as best friends, meeting amazing people, and telling the beautiful, joyous love stories of so many incredible couples. We are college sweethearts, married since 2014. In our free time, you can usually find us walking hand-in-hand on the beach or at the nearest theme park, spending time with family and friends, or traveling the world. We can't wait to hear from you, learn your love story, and create photo magic together!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Mostly I want my couples to look at their images and feel the warmth, authenticity, and emotion of the day all over again.

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.

This occurred from our initial consultation and fact-finding inquiries and visits. This continued through the planning and implementation process of our event! Never did I ever imagine how smooth everything would go. Laura always provided the details and clarification of anything that I may have missed or just needed additional information on and the security staff worked efficiently to make sure we were able to store necessary items in a safe location for before and after our event. Carolyn and her kitchen/catering staff with Constellations Catering Group were phenomenal! We do not say this lightly! Carolyn was super communicative and at any point and time was able to be reached quickly when needed. I have never met a friendlier more down to earth person while still making sure that the business needs are still addressed professionally and promptly. THANK YOU CAROLYN! From A to Z, the food and service were superb and on point. The Kitchen and catering staff are highly recommended. They catered to our every need and the food is the best that I have ever experienced in my 30 years of attending business and personal events. We continue to get raving compliments from our guests about the wonderful service and simply delicious food that we enjoyed during our event on 04/20/2024! Thank you again to the entire Team! You all outdid yourselves, and we are truly grateful for your wonderful hospitality!

Guitarist Marc Mannino performs elegant music for weddings, cocktail hour receptions, anniversaries and vow renewals. For over thirty years, Marc Mannino’s instrumental guitar music has been part of joyous wedding celebrations in the Sarasota – Bradenton area.

He is always on time, communicative, looks and acts professional and most importantly...talented! I would not only not hesitate to hire Marc again in the future, but I look forward to the next time we have an opportunity to work together.
