Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Chrissy, as our Day of Coordinator, and overall, the experience was positive. She was incredibly nice and helpful, especially when it came to managing last-minute details. Chrissy stepped in seamlessly to take over everything I spent a year planning and handling unexpected changes, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. However, one area of improvement would be the level of attention to some of our must-have moments. We would highly suggest requesting a second announcement for the cake cutting, as there was so much cake left over from a 4-tier cake and guests wanted to take some with them. Additionally, we felt that we didn’t get as much exposure or focus as we had hoped compared to other couples, other than a picture of the blank balcony, but Chrissy was still able to help. Despite these minor issues, Chrissy was professional, attentive, spunky, and genuinely committed to making our day special. We appreciate the effort and dedication put into the day of coordinating our wedding, especially since it was in the Panhandle.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about We The Blackwells.

They captured everything so beautifully, from the smallest details to the biggest emotions. Looking back at our photos and video, it feels like we’re reliving the entire day all over again. They didn’t just take pictures; they told our story in the most genuine and heartfelt way. What meant the most to us was how natural everything felt. Nothing was forced or awkward. They knew exactly how to guide us while still letting us be ourselves, and that really shows in every shot. We are beyond grateful for the memories they gave us.

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

Queendoc is such a viiiiibe. From the first phone meeting she was my hype girl. She was just as excited about our big day as us. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and it showed during the whole wedding. My husband and I kept looking at each other and asking "did you add this song?" because every single song she played was so US. The perfect playlist for the perfect day. She hyped up the crowd and got people dancing. People I didn't even know danced, danced and loved every moment. If you want variety, someone who is sweet and loves her job book her NOW.

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.

If you’re considering booking Deanna as your wedding photographer- do it!!! She is an incredibly talented photographer, and was amazing to work with! From our first inquiry phone call, I immediately felt at ease and knew that we would be in great hands. When our venue in Sarasota told us they were unable to host us two days before the wedding, we had to pivot and choose a new venue in Tampa. Deanna was so flexible and understanding about the last minute change! Our entire wedding day was seamless thanks to Deanna and her second shooter Miranda. They did an amazing job of knowing exactly which moments to capture, and brought so much creativity and fun to the process as well. It was the perfect combination of planned and candid moments, and we felt so comfortable and happy all day. It couldn’t have been easy to make the last minute change after planning photos around a completely different venue, but you wouldn’t know it from how confident, professional, and well executed everything was! We got our photos only a week after the wedding, which was the best surprise! The photos all look amazing and did a great job of capturing all of our guests, all of our decor, and all the special moments from the day. I had high expectations, and they exceeded all of them! We are so happy with how beautiful our photos turned out, and will cherish them for the rest of our lives, thank you Deanna!!

They decorated the bar beautifully to match our theme and offered a great mix of cocktails and mocktails that our guests loved.

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.

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.

While my background initially led me down a path in Financial Compliance, my true calling was always in the realm of art and creativity. I love every aspect of photography, from meeting you and capturing your happiest moments to the post-processing stage. I have been photographing families and new mothers primarily. However, I have discovered that I love photographing weddings just as much! I would love to capture your perfect moments that will be remembered forever.

Yuliya Fox Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Yuliya contacted us before our ceremony to ask what pictures did we want taken and any special requests, which was very nice of her to introduce herself beforehand and let us know what to expect. Yuliya was very professional and kind, and her work reflects that. We had a beach wedding and it was very hot that day, but Yuliya and her crew acted as if it was just another comfortable day of awesome work. During the ceremony we never even noticed her, but she took the most amazing, detailed photos of us and our family, even our officiant! I would definitely recommend Yuliya to anyone who is looking for a skilled photographer. She made our memories of our wedding day that much more special.

We found Beth Joy Photography before we actually even picked a venue and wedding date because I knew I wanted her and her husband to take our wedding/engagement photos! So much so that we made sure our wedding venue/date coordinated with their calendar before booking it. I cannot express to you how incredibly lucky we feel to have had our pictures taken by them. Of course the way they softly edit photos while bringing the color and brightness to life won us over initially, but the communication, timely turn around, the way they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, their helpfulness, dependency, organization, and genuine kindness, are just some of the many other reasons we would recommend them to everyone!

Oaks of Devonaire is not only a beautiful venue at an incredibly reasonable price point (hands down the best in the area for 3 days!), but the venue owners truly are so kind and accommodating! There are many locations for portraits and all are stunning! I can't wait to capture many more love stories at Oaks of Devonaire.

Our wedding at Whispering Palms Barn was nothing short of magical. The venue itself is incredibly beautiful, with every detail from the natural surroundings to the charming rustic touches creating the perfect atmosphere for our special day. It truly felt like a dream setting. What made the experience even more exceptional was the owners. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, providing a seamless and stress free experience from start to finish. Their care, organization, and genuine passion for what they do made all the difference. We honestly could not have imagined our wedding anywhere else. If you are considering this venue, do not miss the opportunity to have Hank the donkey make an appearance. He was such a fun and memorable addition and absolutely worth it. We are so grateful for the unforgettable experience and would highly recommend Whispering Palms Barn to anyone looking for a truly special wedding venue.

AnaFloral was absolutely incredible. We wanted a very colorful wedding with specific flowers in mind, and they patiently tweaked every quote and visual with us until it was absolute perfection. As two brides with similar but different tastes, they were so thoughtful in making sure each bouquet truly reflected each of us individually. That level of care meant everything. The trust we placed in AnaFloral was met and exceeded — they executed our vision exactly as we imagined. When we finally saw the florals, we were completely blown away by how breathtaking they were. All we could say was wow. If you are looking for florals that are intentional, vibrant, and beautifully executed, AnaFloral is the team to trust.

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!
