  • Serves Ellenton, 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!

My 2023 wedding almost didn’t happen because California experienced the “storm of the century,” which closed down highways and caused major flooding and mudslides throughout the state. Despite being caught in the storm and stuck on the 5 Freeway for hours, Crist and his assistant made it to the venue on time and ready to roll. Crist ensured that everyone was in good spirits and made the most of the day. He was like a personal hype man! We loved his positivity and professionalism. We absolutely love our wedding photos and look back on our day with fond memories!

I am the Mother of the Bride and feel so enthusiastic about Precious Moments Events, that I wanted to submit this review in addition to the bride's review. Michelle's expertise with vendors, floral arrangements, venues, etc., helped our planning immensely. Her vendors are incredible: from the photographer to the DJ to her in-house florist... her people all came together to make the wedding day incredibly special. Michelle responded to our questions quickly and always had solutions ready to go. What really stood out was her eye for detail in every aspect of the day—the flowers were absolutely stunning and exactly what we envisioned (the bride's bouquet was perfect). Furthermore, she was sensitive to our budget and worked with us to keep within our parameters. This impressed me. Michelle's team clearly cared about making our daughter's wedding special, and it showed in their work. We felt confident in their hands the entire time, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful and joyful everything was. If you're looking for planners who listen and deliver, Precious Moments Events is the way to go.

Emma-Rose photographed our beach wedding beautifully and we highly recommend Sandhill Photography! She was energetic and constantly moving to make sure that she captured our day from different angles before the sun set. She was easy to work with and told us how to stand so that we didn’t look too awkward or staged. She even got my 3-year-old nephew to stop moving around and actually look at the camera by giving him a shell to hold which worked perfectly. We received our fully edited pictures back quickly, which was perfect as we are using them in our thank-you cards.

Let’s get to know each other! 👋🏼 Hi, I’m Brittany — and I’m so excited you’re here! First of all, thank you for considering me to be a part of your special day. With over 10 years of experience in wedding planning and design, I’ve had the absolute joy of helping couples bring their dream weddings to life. When I’m not coordinating timelines or fluffing veils, you’ll find me soaking up the sun ☀️, sipping on coffee ☕, or spending time with my crew — my husband of 7 years, our two amazing kids and our two pups, Bear and Boone.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittany was an awesome day-of coordinator! If we had to go back and do it again, Brittany would be one of the first people we would call. She brought a much needed calm, conscientious, and confident presence to give us the perfect day. She was around every step of the way to understand the big-picture and minute-by-minute logistics. She helped us create our timeline, wrangle and align all the vendors, and stayed in close contact with everybody to keep the event going the exact way we imagined. When small issues would emerge, she handled them with ease and speed. When we ran behind schedule, she was reassuring and did a great job helping us prioritize what we needed to do. She was also incredibly hospitable and thoughtful – she even brought us a plate of appetizers since we were doing photos during our cocktail hour! The last thing I wanted to say is that Brittany was actually our SECOND day-of coordinator, because we had to fire our first one. Maybe that means we have high standards? I don’t know. But, if we do, Brittany certainly exceeded them. She gave us tremendous confidence in her and her ability to carry out our event throughout the entire process. -Zak and Hannah

At a personal level, Bethany and John are the most kind hearted souls. We felt so comfortable with them, cared for, and looked out after. For example, we had some family members try to input themselves into what was supposed to be me and my husband's special moments, and John and Bethany politely stepped in and took care of it, with grace and confidence. I so appreciated John for paying close attention to details - he would fix a fly away hair, ask me to sit up a little straighter, or adjust my arm in a more flattering way. The both of them can just so wonderfully read a room and the people in it. I never had to ask them of anything, they can just sense and spot a special moment. Bethany is so organized and her timeline, ideas, and plan were so carefully and thoughtfully played out! For someone who can be quite meticulous and analytical times, I'm as happy as can be and overly satisfied.. We now have the most beautiful engagement session photos and wedding day photos I could have ever asked for. We can't wait for family photos with Bethjoy when we add a little one to our lives! Thank you Bethany and John, for the best keepsakes, and for being you!

From our first conversation with the team at Whispering Palms Barn, we knew we had found our venue. They were incredibly responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process, answering every question we had with patience and clarity. On our wedding day, the staff went out of their way to accommodate our requests and kept everything running smoothly without making us stress about a single detail. The barn itself is stunning and provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration without breaking the bank. We've talked to so many couples since our wedding, and honestly, the nicest people we've ever worked with are the Whispering Palms team.

Amber is so much more than a photographer — she’s an artist, a calming presence, and the ultimate hype woman all in one. Her ability to capture both the big moments and the quiet, candid ones is a true gift. Looking through our wedding photos feels like reliving the day, and that’s all thanks to her incredible eye and attention to detail. She made being in front of the camera feel completely natural — like having a friend beside us who just happened to be taking the most stunning photos. Amber was both professional and fun, giving direction effortlessly (even with a big group!) and keeping things moving without ever feeling rushed. We’re so grateful she was part of our day — and even more grateful to have the memories she captured to cherish forever. Book her. It'll be one of the best decisions you could make!

Working with Ana Floral Studio was an absolute dream experience! I spoke with many florists in the area who made me feel bad about having a budget for my wedding flowers. Alyssa with Ana Floral Studio was so incredibly kind and patient and never made me feel ashamed for having boundaries. I gave her my vision and my ideal price point and she sent me two quotes: one with my vision exactly as described and one that was “budget friendly” that was a variation of my vision that met my financial needs. Alyssa was knowledgeable and extremely responsive. She was also flexible and updated our timeline/locations as these details changed many times. The flowers arrived on time on our wedding day to the correct location and were even more than I could have dreamed of. We had personal flowers for the bridal party (bouquets and boutonnieres), corsages for moms and grandmas, and boutonnieres for dads and grandpas. All the items we received were what Alyssa and I had discussed. We also got our centerpieces through them, which were floating candles. They had a variety of options to choose from at different price points. The centerpieces were all set up on time and were exactly as described. They returned on time at the end of the night to clean up the centerpieces. We would recommend Ana Floral Studio to any bride and groom who want flowers at their wedding, as Alyssa and her team are extremely kind, professional, and attentive to detail!
