Pixiedust Factory LLC

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $3,800
  • 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 were looking for a photographer who would capture our special day in more than just photos. It was essential for us to have someone who could convey emotions and capture those natural moments. Let’s be honest—typical posed wedding photos aren’t something anyone looks back at later. With Carolin, we hit the jackpot! She is incredibly friendly and works professionally, delivering results that are amazing and worth every euro. We chose the full package with photos and a wedding film, and we couldn’t be happier with that decision. Our friends and family love the memories of our wonderful day, and the enthusiasm from our guests for Carolin has led to several bookings for more weddings and family photos—what better compliment could she receive? Everything went smoothly from the start. Whenever we had questions or felt uncertain, Carolin was always there to help and listen. Her self-created wedding planner was an incredible aid for our timeline. If you want unique memories of your wedding that are anything but ordinary, Carolin is the perfect choice. We are so grateful for everything and look forward to showing this wonderful video and these photos to our children one day. A heartfelt thank you to Carolin! To all future brides and grooms, you can’t go wrong by choosing her. Book her, and cross that off your to-do list!

Michelle attention to details and working out ways to help with our budget was fabulous. Although we were not able to be in person for many things as we had a destination wedding, Michelle did her very best over numerous phone calls and zoom calls to create the best wedding day ever! She was also great at recommended many of her vendors who she has worked with for many other wedding. Every little detail at the wedding was amazing. Till this day everyone keeps talking about the wedding! It was beyond perfect with no issues at all.

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!

Makeup has been my lifelong passion, and discovering my calling in it felt like the most natural thing in the world. Over the past decade, I’ve been transforming and elevating my clients’ looks, leaving a trail of glam from Montana, Italy, New York and across Florida.

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.

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!

Where do I begin…because the whole experience was amazeballs. We had our destination wedding at AMI on 6/30/23 and our reception at Bridge Street Bistro! We worked closely with Jen Mallard from the time we booked and she was an absolute pleasure to coordinate with! Everything was super simple, super easy, and never at any time did we think there’d be any issues. Our guests loved the filet mignon, and the appetizers we chose were fantastic (especially the empanadas and coconut shrimp). If you’re looking to get married in Anna Maria Island, I highly recommend Bridge Street Bistro. Thanks again to Jen and entire staff who made our special day that much more special!

Alisa was one of the vendors I was most excited to work with on our wedding day, for so many reasons! She and Wayne made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable during the engagement session and we had SO much fun. The photos turned out INCREDIBLE and we got so many comments from friends that the photos were such high quality. On our wedding day, Alisa again brought the energy and expertise! She turned all our little details into gorgeous photos, made time for little moments throughout the day, and absolutely went above and beyond to help me and my family. She and Wayne are a dream to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!! We are so thankful to have had such a qualified, fun, and kind team. Thank you!!!

Rod Baker did an absolute incredible job with my wedding video. He truly went above and beyond. I could have asked for a better wedding video. Shortly after the wedding he send me the highlight wedding video which was unbelievable he really integrated peoples well wishes and he did a superb job. I’m so glad that I chose him to be my videographer him as well as John dyer for photography they were the perfect match to work with! What I loved about rod is he said yes to every single request that I had. He was extremely accommodating. Both him and his wife are a power couple. They accommodated me in every way possible the quality of the video is spectacular he out so much effort into it. The main reason I went with rod to begging with was his fantastic and promptly communication, and I specially wanted a long wedding video not just a highlight which is a common thing with videographers now a days rod gave me my love wedding video which captured the entire beautiful day. It was the best day of my life and now I have 2 hours footage to look back on. He captured the whole ceremony and he didn’t miss anything. He got all the speeches the dances and the best footage I could have asked for. His pricing is incredibly reasonable. Do yourself a favor and hire Rod Baker for your videographer and his partner is fantastic as well they are the dynamic duo, they made it easy throughout the planning and it was a pleasure working with them all on my special day. I would hire them again in a heartbeat the price is beyond reasonable and you will have him capture the best moments of your life you can have forever!! Best videographer ever! He also has a drone which is a very unique asset! Thank you Rod Baker!!
