Meu casamento aconteceu no Destiny Ranch no dia 19 de maio de 2024. Foi uma cerimônia simples, mas muito especial. O ambiente era exatamente como eu sempre sonhei. Usamos uma decoração mínima porque o lugar, por si só, já é perfeito. Fora que tudo é extremamente bem cuidado, limpo e tudo muito organizado. As suítes dos noivos são lindas! Além disso, os donos são muito atenciosos e organizados. Eu vivi um sonho!

I'm confident that soon I'll be your go-to and be right next to you to capture all your important moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first phone call with Kacie we knew she was the perfect person to trust with our wedding day. We felt so comfortable talking to her on our call, and her answers to our questions fit our needs just right. Our engagement shoot provided us a comfortable setting to get to work with each other, see how our personalities mesh, and get to know each other better before our big day. We had an absolute blast at our engagement shoot, and I am so glad we had that opportunity. Our pictures came out amazing and we got them back from Kacie within the time frame she told us. That shoot was the perfect set up to help us feel comfortable on our wedding day. Prior to the wedding day, Kacie communicated well about scheduling, timing, payments, expectations, and photo ideas. We went into the day with no worries as far as our photography. Kacie was amazing to work with on our wedding day. She did an awesome job of being patient with and navigating our family’s silly antics. She kept us going as close to schedule as possible. She was flexible and came up with back up plans quickly to work with issues such as the heat and the mud. She made sure to get all the shot we requested and tons of special candid shots. She was an amazing part of our wedding day, and if I had to go back and do it all again I would 1000% chose Kacie all over again. She got us sneak peaks soon after our wedding, and got our full album back to us in the time she told us. Our photos brought us to tears. They are such a precious reminder of our day. We have not stop scrolling through them! Kacie’s work is amazing! We would recommend her again and again without hesitation! We hope to get to work with her again in the futures for other special moments we hope to document. Thank you so much for your time, patience, and beautiful work, Kacie! We appreciate you so much!

Where to start... We had our wedding at Wildwood Vineyard and Events 3/4/23. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, the first handshake with Keisha, I knew this is where we were meant to get married. That first day 6/24/22, my now husband and I, sat down with Keisha and her husband, Phil. We had the entire wedding planned in 4 hours. The food, dj, photography, colors, decorations, the bar. This is not your typical "pick a package" venue. Keisha makes your dream wedding come true around YOUR budget. She does the leg work. You tell her what you want, and she makes it happen. I felt like I was working with family the entire time, as if we've known them forever and this was the first time meeting. Keisha and I talked almost every day after that. The day of the wedding was flawless. Not one thing went wrong. They surprised me with my wedding song, sung live. They were active the entire night. Whatever we needed, they were there. I could not have asked for better. It was a dream come true. The property is beautiful, well kept, and decorated. They have games and gorgeous, caged in fire places. Not only do they do weddings, but they also host events and are open to the public. We are so blessed to have come across this amazing couple. They really do it all, and we are forever thankful for them!!

The venue is absolutely gorgeous and dreamlike!! They help you set up and clean up (clean up is extra). They have so many different locations within the venue to have the ceremony, and nice that they have one option inside just in case of rain. Also have a golf cart to help shuttle people from parking or the bridal party from the dressing domes. I had to call about a few questions and someone picked up immediately.

We could not have asked for a better photographer than Shan from Weddings by Photohead. From the very first conversation, he was professional, kind, and genuinely invested in our wedding day. He took the time to understand our vision and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which was huge for us. On the wedding day, Shan was calm, organized, and so easy to work with. He blended in seamlessly, captured the big emotional moments, and somehow caught all the little candid details we didn’t even realize were happening. Nothing felt forced or rushed, and his guidance during portraits made everything feel natural and fun. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. The images were timeless, emotional, and beautifully edited. Every time we look at them, we feel like we’re reliving the day all over again. Friends and family have not stopped complimenting our photos.

Welcome! My name is Jaime Swanson and I am the owner of Sweet Serendipity Photography located in Gainesville, FL. I have been a wedding, newborn and boudoir photographer for over seventeen years. I am a mother of four amazing children and have been married to my husband for fourteen years. I am so very thankful for all of my clients that have allowed me to turn my passion into a career. In the past decade and a hald I have been blessed to travel near and far to work with amazing couples and tell their love stories through my captured images.

I can't recommend Sweet Serendipity enough. As a wedding planner, when I hear my couple is working with Jaime, I automatically know they are in great hands. She is so easy to work with, detailed, makes everyone feel comfortable, and produces amazing photos! If you are considering hiring Sweet Serendipity, stop considering and do it!!! You won't regret it!

The Wooly was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding! From the very beginning, Bailey and her team were fast to respond to all of our communication and questions, making the planning process a breeze. On the day of, the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The food was incredible - our guests are still raving about it weeks later! The service was impressive, and the bar was great too. The Wooly has such a unique and fun vibe, and the venue, staff, and food are all top-notch. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. Absolutely a 5-star venue that is also budget-friendly.

My Fiance & I recently booked our wedding at Villa Serafina. I am a local wedding coordinator so finding a venue that I wanted for my own wedding was not an easy feat but after seeing the venue in person, holy moly!!! The photos of this place don't even do it justice, as it is beautifully laid out for event flow, well-kept & going to be popular for sure. Make sure to check it out - you're going to love it!!! Great location as well between Gainesville, Tampa & Orlando - its about 1-hour between each location :)
