I’m Kristen — a wife, mom, coffee lover, and lifelong dreamer inspired by the magic in everyday moments. Whether it’s sandy toes at the beach or quiet time with family, I’m drawn to what feels real. I capture connection in its truest form — the joy-filled, imperfect, beautiful moments that make your story yours, and memories you’ll carry for a lifetime.

Kristen and the team at Asimpledreamerco were an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, their communication style was easy, caring, and thoughtful. They took the time to truly understand our vision and were willing to work within our budget to bring it to life. On the day of the wedding, Kristen went above and beyond, fixing my dress and making everyone feel so at ease during the portrait session. The final photos are truly special and timeless - we will look back on them for the rest of our lives and always think of how Kristen's talent and motivation made our day so incredibly memorable.

I am a professional violinist with over 25 years of experience performing for weddings, proposals ,cocktail hours, corporate functions, parties , proposals, solo at church services and many more occasions. I can play solo violin with background accompaniment, violin/cello duet, a string trio or a string quartet, depending on what suits you. Violin playing is my passion! Music is how I make my living. I am not someone who has a career outside of music and “dabbles” in music on the side, for extra money. I hold both a BA, and an MA in music and love to enhance your wedding and other events with beautiful, live violin playing.

Francesca J was a standout choice for our wedding day. From our first conversation through the final note, she stayed in touch and made sure we knew exactly what to expect. She showed up on time and played with such grace that our guests couldn't stop talking about it. The violin added an elegance to our ceremony that we couldn't have gotten any other way. Francesca's professionalism and genuine care for making our day special made all the difference. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

Design by Schell was an absolute dream to work with when it came to planning, designing, and staging our wedding florals. From our very first interaction, I knew she was the florist that we wanted to work with. I had met with at least 10 other florists in the Sarasota area, and I was really struggling to find someone that fit our vision and was respectful of our budget. But when I met Eva, I instantly felt at ease. She was extremely responsive, kind, and patient. She took the inspiration photos that I sent her and brought our vision to life. Eva is incredibly detail-oriented and went above and beyond to create the energy and atmosphere that we were hoping for. She even went to the lengths of ordering specific votive glasses & bouquet vases that fit with our aesthetic, brought extra florals for detail photos, and added an extra rose to dress up our cake, all out of the kindness of her heart. I was blown away. Not only was she easy to work with, but she was very open to feedback and collaboration. Our wedding florals were nothing short of breathtaking. The arrangements were elegant, romantic, and unique. The energy and love that Eva put into making every detail perfect was incredible, and we couldn't have been happier with the final result. We would highly recommend Design by Schell to any couple looking for a florist who will go above and beyond to make your special day perfect. Throughout our wedding planning process, Eva was one of our favorite vendors! She was spectacular!

Emily was absolutely amazing. She was organized, responsive, and made the entire planning process so easy.

The presentation on the day of was beautiful, our guests talked about how friendly Emily was, the drinks were the prettiest I've ever seen (I will include a photo), service was quick.

Capturing the beauty of your big day as a wedding photographer is a dream come true! I have a heart to serve couples and families, each moment fills my heart, as I capture the details that make your day special.

I just saw my wedding photos and OMG they are fabulous! You can tell by Deanna’s work she has a true eye and passion for what she does. We were given Deanna’s contact info via a recommendation and we couldn’t be more pleased! I have a very particular eye so it was very important to me to have someone that was truly talented. Her kindness, professionalism, patience, punctuality and enthusiasm helped make our wedding day an absolute delight. She chose beautiful locations and scenes to capture every special moment throughout the day and even assisted with the vision for our beach ceremony by working diligently with the florists to make sure we had the best angle, location, and framing for our wedding photos. She continuously asked if there were any more photos we wanted to take before moving on to the next location. If you’re looking for a photographer, reach out to Deanna. You will not be disappointed!

Hi! We are Zoe and Damara, a Southwest Florida based best friend wedding photographer duo who is open to traveling anywhere! Zoe was born and raised in the small town of Champaign, Illinois, but is a beach girl at heart and was meant to be born by the ocean. She is a serene visionary with a huge passion for unique and antique, so she is often dreaming up new photography ideas that include touches of vintage flare. Damara is a Cuban-American woman born and raised in the heart of Miami! She has a vibrant personality and is the extroverted, "corkier" half of Popping Champaign that you can rely on to make you laugh through out the day.

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!

We had started planning our wedding only 10 weeks prior and after seeing Ashley’s work we knew she was the one to video our special day. However we didn’t know if she would be available. Low and behold she was!!! It was meant to be!! Ashley did an amazing job. The recap video is absolutely perfect!! Everything just fell into place. If you are looking for an amazing videographer look no further!!! Ashley is the one for the job!!
