“My hubby and I got engaged June of 2022 and had our dream venue booked not too long after. Our wedding day was 11/11/23. We had looked at a couple other venues in the area but wanted to use some place that our friends hadn’t used yet. I stumbled upon The Worthington while we were out to eat at AMOB with family, I booked a tour the next day. Once my husband and I were shown around the property, we immediately both knew we had found our dream venue. The entire team is super helpful. Our ceremony took place outside in front of the giant oak tree as a beautiful focal point AND the pond in the background. We were lucky enough to be the first couple to use the outdoor wall to separate our guests from seeing me before I walked down the aisle! Catlyn exceeded what we were thinking it was going to look like! Talk about being blown away. Our cocktail and reception area also looked amazing. Seeing every detail we had planned come to life because of these ladies and their hard work made us feel so taken care of. Whether you’re dealing with Angella, Catlyn or Lisa you’ll be in the absolute BEST hands! They're all so communicative, quick to reply and triple check everything is just as you want it. I would come back over and over again for the venue itself and the ladies in charge. You all made our night so perfect. Our guests all kept saying it was the best wedding they had been to.”

“So thankful to have worked with Ceremonies by Chrissy! I feel that any wedding will have its fair share of hiccups, but having a strong coordinator will be what makes the difference between a smooth or stressful day! She knew all my wants, she understood my vision, and we pivoted throughout the day as needed. But she always checked in with me and kept it REAL when I asked for it! She is organized, and provides you with everything you need to stay on track while planning wedding details. We had numerous phone calls, and a final review of everything 2 weeks before the wedding. She was always open to texting about any small details that came up or if i wanted to run ideas by her. She truly is the best! I needed a day of coordinator so that things would not fall on the responsibility of my family - and I'm happy to say that they were able to enjoy my wedding as much as anyone else did! Chrissy ran our rehearsal smoothly, which means our bridal party was prepared and everyone understood there marks - which helped tremendously! On the day of it's super important to have someone communicating with venue staff while keeping things on track - and she still made sure that we ate along with our guests and kept our signature drinks full the entire time! My family planned a surprise mariachi band - and this was only possible with her help! I knew how every detail and every moment was lined up for the day, so I'm surprised they were able to get this done without me knowing. But I do love that she made it all possible!

Hi! I am Julia. I am specializing in documenting love stories taking place all throughout the world. I love working with different cultures, languages and in the most incredible locations. I adore capturing and preserving the memory, heart, and soul of an event, family and couple. My approach is both editorial and artistic. Not simply documenting moments as they happen but also carefully crafting the compositions of those moments. My aim is to deliver an aesthetic that is effortlessly romantic, timeless and emotive. Mostly I want my couples to look at their images and feel the warmth, authenticity, and emotion of the day all over again.

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Julia from Fantasmic Photography for our wedding, and we cannot recommend her enough! From the very first consultation to the final delivery of our photos and video, Julia was nothing short of professional, creative, and accommodating. Julia really captured the essence of our special day with such an artistic eye. The candid moments, along with the beautifully composed shots, told our wedding story in the most magical way. Every photograph was crisp, vibrant, and full of emotion. We were especially impressed with how she seamlessly captured the little details—like the flowers, rings, and our guests' reactions—that we didn't even notice in the moment. The video was absolutely breathtaking! Julia’s videography managed to blend the joy, love, and energy of our day into a cinematic masterpiece. The editing was flawless, with the right music and pacing that made it feel like a movie. Watching our wedding video felt like reliving the entire day all over again, and it truly brought tears to our eyes. She also provided us with both a highlight reel and a full-length video, which was a great touch. What stood out the most was Julia's professionalism and attention to detail. She blended into the background during the day, capturing moments without interrupting or making us feel rushed. Her friendly demeanor and clear communication made the entire process so much easier. If you’re looking for a photographer and videographer who will not only capture your wedding day but make it unforgettable, Julia at Fantasmic Photography is the way to go! She truly exceeded our expectations, and we will treasure the memories she created for us forever.”

Hey, I’m Katie, a Sarasota-based wedding photographer who believes the best photos come from genuine connection and real moments. While I’m new to Zola’s vendor directory, I’ve been documenting love stories for years and have earned over 25 five-star Google reviews along the way. My style is bright, timeless, and true-to-color, with a focus on capturing the moments that matter most, from happy tears and belly laughs to the quiet in-between moments. My goal is to create a relaxed experience so you can be fully present and enjoy every second of your wedding day.

“We have trusted Katie with our family photos for years, and I truly cannot imagine anyone else capturing our memories for us. She has photographed our family through so many seasons of life, and each session beautifully reflects who we are in that moment. What I appreciate most is her ability to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. She captures genuine smiles, authentic moments, and all of the little details that make our family unique. Her photos never feel forced—they feel like us. Looking back through the years of images she has created for our family is like watching our story unfold. She has documented our girls growing up, our changing family dynamics, and countless memories that we will treasure forever. The photographs hanging in our home are some of our most valued possessions. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also kind, professional, patient, and wonderful to work with. If you’re looking for someone who will do more than just take pictures—someone who will preserve your family’s story—she is the photographer you want.”

“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!”

“Working with Ying Multimedia was a dream from start to finish. They stayed in constant contact with us and really listened to what we wanted while bringing their own creative touch to every shot. On our wedding day, they captured both the candid moments and the specific photos we'd requested, all while keeping everything running smoothly despite the chaos. What really impressed us was how they went out of their way for our engagement session—they even drove extra distance to accommodate our schedule so we could catch our flight home. Their kindness and easy-going nature made us feel comfortable the entire time. We couldn't have asked for better photographers to document our special day.”

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.

“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”

Baking has been my passion since 6th grade- so much so that I left my corporate job behind to bake for love stories full time! I specialize in custom wedding cakes, interactive food bars, and an upcoming dessert trailer experience with full staffing starting this December. My mission? Making whatever desserts you've been dreaming of to ensure your big day is 100% you.

“From our first conversation with Lace Makes Cakes, we knew we'd found someone special. She was quick to respond to our questions and worked with us to create a dessert plan that fit our budget perfectly, including a cutting cake for my wife and me plus a variety of treats for our guests. On the day of our wedding, she delivered everything on time and made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. Every detail was thoughtful, from the flavor combinations to the presentation, and honestly, the desserts were delicious. We felt like she really listened to what we wanted and made it happen. We're already planning to have her create our anniversary cake!”

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Yanny (pronounced yaw - knee) and I'm a wedding, couples, and storytelling photographer in SWFL. Born and raised in the PNW I like to think that the moody and grey atmosphere from that world has found it's way into my photography style. Candid, raw, full of emotion, and photos that you can "feel" are what I live for! My wife and I live in Sarasota FL with our sweet little boy Moses and our crazy cat Martini. We love the easy-going lifestyle on the gulf coast and whenever I'm free you can find me either exploring a new coffee shop, thrifting, serving at my local church, or spending time with my family!

“We hired Yanny for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier! From our initial consultation, they were incredibly professional and attentive, taking the time to understand our vision for the day. Their communication was excellent, and they were always quick to respond to our questions. He made us and our guests feel completely at ease, and has a real talent for capturing candid moments. Every picture perfectly captures the happiness and romance of our wedding day. We can't wait to cherish and show off her photos forever!”
