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 did a great job with our wedding! She was great to have around and we loved the photos that she took. Would definitely recommend!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Gloria as our wedding photographer! She brought such a peaceful, calming energy to our day and was incredibly accommodating with every detail and last-minute change. She captured the most beautiful, natural photos—the kind that truly reflect how the day felt, not just how it looked. Gloria is professional, warm, and so easy to be around. Her communication was great from start to finish, and she made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience. Highly recommend Gloria to any couple looking for a photographer who delivers stunning work and a wonderful overall experience!

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.

From bright beach weddings to moody mountain top elopements, we strive to capture special days in their best light. We are three friends on a mission to craft bold and beautiful documentary style wedding photography that couples will cherish forever. But above all, we like to think we just click.

There is nothing to say here except WOW! We worked with Evan for our wedding photos in Greer, SC and couldn't be happier. From the first phone call where we told him we have never done formal pictures before, Evan kept us laughing and feeling at ease. By using more documentary-style photography, Evan explained how he focuses more on the candid moments and less on the stiff, formal portraits. During the wedding, Evan was running all around and captured so many beautiful moments with our family and friends! We lovingly called him the Nathan Drake of wedding photography. His demeanor and attitude was fun and kept us laughing and smiling the whole time. We received our preview album and we're stunned by how beautiful everything was! And these were just previews!!!! If you are looking for a photographer who is going to help make your day authentically yours and capture all the best moments with your family and friends, Evan and the Next Best Men team is the right choice.

Sasha Prince Photography

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Cortez, FL

I'm a film and documentary wedding photographer based in Englewood, Florida, working across the Gulf Coast — Sarasota, Anna Maria Island, Siesta Key, Venice, Boca Grande, Naples, and everywhere in between. I shoot on 35mm film, medium format, and toy cameras alongside digital. The approach is documentary — I show up and let things unfold. No staging, no direction, no vendor marketing. Your wedding is private and it belongs to you.

We had an incredible experience working with Sasha Prince Photography from start to finish. Sasha stayed in touch with us through emails, texts, and calls at just the right times, so we always knew what to expect. On our wedding day, she was patient and calm when things got hectic with our family and the bride, which meant so much to us. Her photos have exceptional fine art quality—they're absolutely stunning and exactly what we hoped for. Beyond our wedding, Sasha also captured our engagement session and our trash the dress shoot, giving us so many beautiful memories to treasure. We would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who is both responsive and incredibly talented.

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).

Mike was up to our adventurous requests. Photographing our engagement photos, intimate ceremony, and celebration ceremony he did it all! Including braving the cold for our outdoor winter ceremony. Mike was very flexible with our requests, and guided us when we needed it. He was able to get our pictures we wanted and did not consume the whole night! He fit right in on the dance floor with his camera's in hand! Thank you Mike!

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.

Our photographer name was Hunter, and he was absolutely amazing. I booked through original weddings because my photographer I originally had had never gotten back to me, and was three weeks to spare. This company made me feel like everything was going to be perfect, and that my wedding was going to be captured in the most incredible way! Hunter had made us feel so comfortable and he made our photos turn out to be more than I could ever dream of! I would recommend them 1 million times over again if I could, and if I could have booked them originally in the first place I would have! Our photo turnaround time was about two weeks and the pictures were more than I could ever imagine!!

We were so pleased with OLAS and glad we hired them for our wedding. By far one of the easiest vendors we worked with. They were prepared, communicative, and always available for questions. We were impressed from the beginning with their clear communication and responsiveness and we stay impressed after seeing the end result. We hired OLAS for photography and videography. Both did an amazing job and we were so happy with the results. OLAS also took the time to understand our needs and the unique cultural components of our ceremony (Indian Catholic ceremony) that needed attention. Highly recommend this company for your wedding. We were also so happy with the video quality - it was like watching a movie!
