Words can not explain how pleased my husband and I were with Eddie throughout the whole process of booking a videographer for our big day! Not only did he go above and beyond with details and planning but he executed such a sweet and fun wedding video for us! We had a crazy ending to our night that left us feeling a bit down. Eddie brought our spirits right back up when he surprised us with our sneak peak video within days after and send the whole video maybe a week or two later! His eye for detail is superb! He comes from a production back ground so it’s not just a typical wedding video. It’s more editorial almost like a music video. I highly recommend him for your next big event!

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.

Mostly I want my couples to look at their images and feel the warmth, authenticity, and emotion of the day all over again.

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.

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.

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!

Hi, I'm Cheyenne. I'm a documentary-style wedding photographer based in a small beach town on the gulf coast of Florida (between Sarasota and Fort Myers). I live in a small, historic home with my husband Chase and our cutie pie daughter. We spend most of our time doing house projects, getting together with family and friends, and facetiming the family and friends who live far away. My people are my everything and the beautiful intricacies of relationships is what I love most about weddings and photography.

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.

They were so patient and eager to get the best shots, even including our beloved fur baby. I had explained my vision for our wedding video - dramatic and cinematic - and they exceeded my expectations, delivering a final product that blew me away and perfectly encapsulated our special day.

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!

She also was a helping hand with bustling my wedding dress, which my mother was struggling with and Kenna saved the day! The best decision I made when planning our wedding was booking Kenna.

My name is JP Eason and I am the owner of Florida Wedding Videography. I have my Master’s degree in Film and Video from American University in Washington, DC and over 15 years of experience in the industry. I grew up in Southwest Florida on the gulf coast, and Florida is what I know and love! When you hire my company, you are hiring me. From the consultation, to the filming, and all the way to the editing and distribution. Your satisfaction with the final product is not just a reflection on my company but directly on me as an individual and a filmmaker. It would be an honor to document your special day!

I had the pleasure of working alongside JP and Kelsey of Florida Wedding Videography for a wedding on Anna Maria Island this year. As a photographer it is so important to be able to communicate with videographers on wedding days so we can work together to get the best coverage for our clients. JP had such a calming presence and amazing focus during the entire day and Kelsey was helpful with pre-planning and communication leading up to the wedding. The wedding day could not have gone more smoothly, and the video was breathtaking! Truth be told the bride and groom decided last minute to add on videography since they had downsized their guest list and wanted to be able to share their day through video with guests who would no longer be able to attend. I recommended Florida Wedding Videography to the bride and within a day she had written me back thanking me for making the recommendation and praising JP and Kelsey for the ease of their booking process and willingness to jump in last minute. From that moment on myself and the other vendors, and most importantly the bride and groom, enjoyed working with JP and Kelsey and absolutely loved the way they captured the wedding day. I look forward to working with JP and Kelsey on many more weddings in the future and would recommend them without reservation to any couple!

CityLux is now offering our award winning wedding photographer services in Sarasota, Naples, and Tampa. After spending years honing our photography in Boston, our boutique studio is now offering photography during the winter months in Florida. Our style is both documentary and editorial, with a splash of sexy.

From the moment we booked CityLux, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication via email, text and phone calls was always prompt and professional. When it came time for our engagement shoot, they had such great vision and were so well organized in making it a dream come true. Their work is truly stunning and creative, and has surpassed our expectations so far. We can't wait to see what they do on our wedding day! CityLux has been so nice, accommodating, easy to work with, passionate and creative. We couldn't have found a better photographer to capture our love.

We had the pleasure of working with Dominique from Bride Guide Pros for hair styling on our wedding day. Overall, we found her communication to be timely and helpful during the planning process. On the big day, Dominique did an amazing job bringing my vision for hair to life - I absolutely loved how my hair turned out! She listened closely to what I wanted and perfectly executed the updo we had discussed. Her work was great! I would most definitely recommend Dominique for hair styling for any bride's special day!

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.
