Megan Saul Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Cortez, FL

Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. What started as a childhood passion grew into a lifelong pursuit of storytelling through images. I’m based in both Union, Illinois, and Florida, which allows me to capture weddings in a variety of beautiful settings. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m gardening, traveling, or spending time with my partner, Kenny, and our three pets. My work has been featured in many publications, but what truly drives me is creating honest, meaningful imagery for my couples—photos that will live on as part of their legacy.

Megan is amazing. She is a true artist. I have worked with her in various spaces, one in particular that a lot of photographers struggle with because of the lighting, and Megan came back with some of the best, most beautiful, moodiest (chef's kiss) photos I have seen.

I am SO excited that you stumbled upon my work! I shoot weddings all across Florida & New England! Capturing raw, true emotions as they happen is what I’m all about. I want to capture it all on your big day. From the moments of you putting your dress to the tears running down your face as you read your vows to each other. To the first kiss and “OMG you’re my spouse now!!” feels. To the unexpected Taco Bell run you make after the ceremony or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor. Being able to grab the moments for you to hold to forever, is such a rewarding humbling job for me.

Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Cortez, FL

My love for photography began over a decade ago when a good friend lent me his camera. I quickly discovered my passion for capturing the beauty of candid moments and the world around me. Outside of photographing couples, I enjoy downhill mountain biking, traveling, nature & landscape photography, hiking, and playing guitar. I live in Sarasota, Florida with my beautiful wife (Meg), our two children (Charlotte & Logan) and our two dogs (Tucker & Diamond), and cat (Grace).

Working with Mike was wonderful! His photographs are beautiful. But beyond the impeccable quality of his work, Mike is a pleasure to work with--he is responsive, knowledgeable, and organized. Anyone who is planning a wedding knows how valuable these qualities are. I'd enthusiastically recommend Mike to all!

  • Serves Cortez, FL

Hey there! I'm Juliana, your go-to wedding photographer serving both Sarasota, Florida, and Omaha, Nebraska. With a passion for capturing love stories, I bring a unique blend of coastal charm and Midwestern warmth to every shoot. My journey in photography took an exciting turn when I expanded my services to Omaha, Nebraska. Now, I split my time between these two vibrant cities, offering top-notch wedding photography in both locations.

Juliana Montane and her assistant were absolutely incredible! I found Juliana online after seeing a wedding she photographed at our same venue, and her artistic eye and unique style immediately stood out to me. Her photography is stunning — creative, elegant, and unlike the usual wedding photography styles you often see. From booking through the end of our wedding day, she was so friendly, professional, and easy to work with. She captured everything beautifully and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She even sent us a sneak peek of a few photos the very next day, which was such a wonderful surprise since editing can take weeks — it was amazing to have a few photos right away to share and use for thank-you cards. I can’t recommend her enough!

I live in a small, historic home with my husband Chase and our cutie pie daughter.

Cheyenne Alford Photography was more than we could have ever have hoped for in a wedding photographer. Not only were the pictures MAGIC and allow us to relive our special day over and over, but from start to finish they thought of EVERYTHING. every question I didn’t even think of in regards to details/ timelines was covered and considered in every aspect. Cheyenne has a special way of being your own “hype girl” and it makes you feel awesome about yourself and makes for some pretty spectacular photos to cherish for years to come.

I’m a wedding photographer based in Sarasota, Florida! When I’m not taking photos or traveling, I’m likely roller skating, baking desserts, or cuddling my dog and cat (emphasis on that last one). So whether you want to celebrate your love, achieve new milestones, or just document your life, I’m here to help you capture those moments you don’t want to forget.

Oh my gosh, where do I begin?! Hiring Miranda for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From our very first meeting to the days/weeks/months following our wedding, our experience with her was nothing short of phenomenal. Miranda’s attention to detail, kind and calming presence, organization, and clear communication were truly a bride’s dream. Her airy, natural, and romantic photography style perfectly captured the vision we had for our wedding. The photos turned out more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. We even had multiple people tell us our wedding album was “magazine worthy,” and we couldn’t agree more! We’re absolutely obsessed! The Moseys can’t thank you enough, Miranda! We will forever cherish your incredible work as a way to relive and remember our special day.

Lacie and Tim are just the most amazing photographers (and people). They met up with us in Montana to shoot our elopement photos ahead of our shooting our wedding reception in Indiana. They are both so friendly and fun and Lacie has such great instincts. She and Tim surveyed glacier national park for great photo ops the day before we met. When we met some cloud cover in the park Lacie made a great call to pivot and get some amazing sunset photos on the lake which were stunning. While we drove around the park it felt like we hanging out with our good friends which made it all the more fun and the photos more authentic. Both Lacie and Tim were so helpful and kind, and our photos both in Montana and Indiana are everything I’ve ever wanted! Would hire/will hire them again and again!
