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.

Welcome to our floral and event company where we specialize in offering exceptional floral design services to couples on their most important day. We understand that your wedding day is a celebration of love and a reflection of the unique bond you share.

OH MY GOODNESS. When I say I was so absolutely stunned with how the Ana’s flowers turned out, that is an understatement. I could not believe that the floral arrangements and bouquets were real when I saw them on the wedding day. Absolutely, without a doubt, one of the highlights of the day! And the designing process with Ana was just the easiest and most fun experience. She went above and beyond to pull flowers from the back room to show us how they would look together and give recommendations on which flowers would last in the Florida heat. She then personally sourced rentals and pivoted seamlessly when the hurricane led to some setbacks. Ana is one of the kindest people to work with and know. Highly highly recommend for any event planning or personal floral needs. I seriously can’t thank her enough for being such bright light throughout the planning process and the day of. She is amazing!!!

Jam All Day Entertainment

  • DJ
  • Serves Ellenton, FL

Jam All Day Sound and Entertainment began from my love of music and motivating people to dance and have a great time. I’m passionate about what I do and the energy and excitement I bring to each event has led to my success. I feel blessed that my clients go out of their way to recommend me to their friends and family. I love hearing about how everyone enjoyed the music selection and how it appealed to all age groups.

Jamaal was an absolutely incredible DJ who went above and beyond to make our wedding unforgettable. After being severely impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, we had to switch venues and move from a ballroom to a tent. Despite all the challenges, Jamaal showed professionalism and dedication. We especially loved the photo mirror he brought—it was such a fun, modern twist on the classic photo booth! He provided plenty of props that our guests loved using for memorable photos, and gave us a book with a collection of photos our guests had taken through out the evening via the mirror, such a special gift from our day! Jamaal also brought beautiful uplighting that transformed our tent into the ultimate dancing destination. He handled every detail with care, creating special and unique moments that truly made our day feel like ours. I would highly recommend Jamaal to anyone looking for an experienced, fun DJ who knows how to get people on the dance floor—and who can even pronounce the trickiest last names flawlessly!

I live for the big moments—the “I do’s,” the belly laughs, the way a little one’s nose crinkles when they giggle—but also the small ones, the in-between glances, the soft touches, the fleeting seconds that make life beautiful. Whether I’m photographing lovebirds on their wedding day, families in the golden glow of sunset, or sweet holiday moments, I’m all about turning real emotions into timeless memories. So, if you're looking for someone who will fix your flyaway hairs, tell you that you absolutely belong on the cover of a magazine, and capture photos that feel like you—I'm your girl! Let’s make magic together.

Weddings are fun, hectic, sometimes chaotic days, filled with laughs, tears of joy, and a celebration of lifelong love. I will be with you from the start of your wedding planning process and after.

Contact us to learn more about our exceptional service team.

Shutter Speak was amazing both leading up to and the day of our wedding. We planned our wedding as a destination wedding and having Joe from Shutter Speak help us with great suggestions and tips probably saved us from making several mistakes. The pictures were amazing and Joe was super easy to work with. We felt like we knew him for years just a few minutes after we met him.

My journey with photography began about twelve years ago when my love of making art and appreciation of history came together. During my formal fine art training with film photography and the darkroom, I learned how to be truly intentional with the images I make. Today, I am constantly inspired and influenced by the world around me: books, movies, fashion editorials, traveling, and even my very own Cajun roots. All of this leads me to have a photographic style that has a balance of fine art, editorial, and intentional documentary vision. My approach can be best described as timeless with an artful touch.

I love getting to work with Taylor! She is so easygoing, sweet and amazing at what she does!

We were so satisfied with our experience with her for our wedding that we've continued to use her services for other important milestones in our growing family. The images she has delivered over the years are so beautiful and we will truly treasure them for the rest of our lives.

Hi, I’m Lily, the owner of Face by Lily Rose! With 4 years of experience I am passionate about enhancing natural beauty and making clients feel confident. Makeup is more than just applying products it’s an art. I specialize in bridal, special events, and headshots, focusing on radiant, long-lasting looks. My goal is to provide a personalized, luxury experience where you feel your absolute best. Let’s create something beautiful together!

I had the privilege to work with Lily for my destination wedding in Italy during May 2024. She really took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day. I did do a trial with her before the wedding, and she was so receptive to any feedback and was able to make my vision come to life. I absolutely felt like a beautiful, blushing bride on my wedding day. Lily was around during the wedding for any touchups I needed. I would recommend Lily to anyone I know.

Guitarist Marc Mannino performs elegant music for weddings, cocktail hour receptions, anniversaries and vow renewals. For over thirty years, Marc Mannino’s instrumental guitar music has been part of joyous wedding celebrations in the Sarasota – Bradenton area. He specializes in destination beach weddings on beautiful Anna Maria Island, Longboat and Siesta Keys, and along the beaches of St. Petersburg and Clearwater, Florida.

I have worked with Marc Mannino many times and hired him for my own events and weddings. He is amazing solo, duo or leading an ensemble. He adds so much warmth to a ceremony or reception. He is always on time, communicative, looks and acts professional and most importantly...talented! I would not only not hesitate to hire Marc again in the future, but I look forward to the next time we have an opportunity to work together.
