Wedding photography is a family heirloom to be treasured and passed down through the generations. It is a great responsibility to photograph your wedding and one that I am honored that you are considering me for. 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. While many of the vendors you pick you will only interact with just once or twice until the wedding day, your photographer is your partner both before and after the wedding. Contact us to learn more about our exceptional service team.

We hired Shutter Speak for our wedding and it was the perfect choice. Joe was professional and very detail oriented. He took a mixture of posed and candid shots, some color and some black-and-white. He worked particularly well with the children ("say pizza!") and we have some terrific pictures of them dancing and having fun. At the end, he created a beautiful photo slideshow that I was able to share on Facebook, as well as wedding albums we and our family will be able to treasure for years to come. I highly recommend Shutter Speak!

Awarded Best of Zola
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! Thank you for EVERYTHING Chrissy! 3

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!

Michelle attention to details and working out ways to help with our budget was fabulous.

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

After years working with luxury and global brands in NYC and beyond, I realized the thing I cared about most was never just the aesthetics. It was always the people. The energy of a room. The feeling guests leave with. The little details that make something feel alive and completely unforgettable. That is still the heart behind Edition Fourteen today. I truly believe the best celebrations are the ones that feel like an extension of the people they are celebrating, and getting to create that alongside my clients never stops feeling special to me.

Kyela and her team at Fourteen Weddings & Events, LLC is truly exceptional! Kyela was the coordinator for my wedding, and I honestly can’t imagine the day without her. She went above and beyond in ways I didn’t even know I needed. One of the most meaningful things she did was take over my social media for the day, which allowed me to be fully present while still ending up with the most genuine, candid memories of our wedding. The behind the scene dance videos are some of my favorite memories. Being able to relive those moments over and over again is such a gift. Kyela also paid incredible attention to the small details that made everything feel so personal and thoughtful; like the beautiful custom labels with our names and wedding date on all of the champagne served. Those little touches elevated the entire experience and made our wedding feel uniquely us. And the champagne cart was one of the most beautiful elements of the day. All of our guests asked us where we got it! Kyela is organized, creative, and genuinely cares about her couples. If you’re looking for a coordinator who will treat your wedding like it truly matters, Fourteen Weddings & Events is the way to go. I can’t recommend Kyela highly enough.

Our guests were impressed with Matt and his ability to provide that personal touch to our wedding! We would highly recommend Matt, as he was the perfect addition to our Wedding Day!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with StackD Cake Studio. From our first conversation, the owner was responsive and answered all of our questions with care and accuracy. She delivered our cake on time and stayed to set up everything perfectly, making sure it looked exactly how we envisioned it. The desserts were absolutely delicious and tasted as incredible as they looked. For the price, the quality was unbeatable and we felt like we got so much value. I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding and honestly, I love her!

This location, while still putting on the finishing touches, was gorgeous! As the Mother of the Bride, I had all of these questions. Sierra (who did our tour, had a ready answer for every single one of them. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, and completely put us at ease. She made something that I believed would be very stressful turn into an absolute pleasure. The location of this venue is perfect, and the charm is undeniable! Five star tour, five star venue
