Sarasota Wedding Photographer | Resort Wedding
Sarasota Wedding Photographer, Resort Wedding. Kasey and Sarek's wedding at The Rod & Reel Resort was nothing short of spectacular from start to finish! There are few beach resorts in Sarasota that allow you to reserve the entire resort for your wedding day, and while it helps that Sarek's family owns the resort, that's more than just a family perk. If you've never been there, it's a true gem nestled into the shores of Anna Maria Island. You have views from the poolside that span all the way to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, and you're just steps away from some of the most beautiful beaches in all of Sarasota. With their wedding in such a perfect location, and with an easy going, truly happy couple that seemed to let stress roll of their backs like a pair of ducks, it's no surprise that these wedding pictures have become some of my favorites of 2023! Take a journey with me as I travel back through some of my favorite memories and pictures from their wedding day with the heart of a proud Sarasota wedding photographer!
The Bride started her day surrounded by all of the most important women in her life, including her 10 bridesmaids. The mimosas flowed freely, and laughter echoed out the doors and off towards the bay as she prepared for the most defining moment of her life.
For their wedding ceremony the bride and groom selected South Coquina Beach which, you may already know, is my personal favorite spot for photography in all of Sarasota! Their ceremony was one of the most unique that I have ever seen set up on the beach, with a plant-scape buried in the sand to create their own tropical oasis, and tiki umbrellas to add some shade for their guests from the mid-day sun. The ceremony was officiated by the groom's uncle, and the wedding party had a great view through their wedding sunglasses. Afterwards, guests braved the Memorial Day traffic back to the resort on the north end of the island while the bride and groom captured some pretty spectacular wedding portraits. And this Sarasota Photographer is proud to say that, for once, I remembered my sunscreen and made it through this mid-day wedding unscathed!
Back at The Rod & Reel Resort it was time for the reception to begin! Guests mingled beside the pool, and took in the views of the bay as they began their celebrations. Personalized drinks from AMI Coconuts made for the perfect cocktail and decor to top off the tropical atmosphere of the festivities! Toasts were made, and the bride and groom had their first dance before the guests were invited to dine. This poolside celebration was for sure my favorite thing about this Resort Wedding!
As the sun began to set the newlyweds jumped into a golf cart with me to drive back to the beach to capture more portraits with that beautiful Sarasota sunset!
Finally it was time to head back to the resort and dance the night away! It was a party that no one there is likely to forget anytime soon, and I know that Kasey and Sarek will remember it for the rest of their lives! They decided to end the night in epic form, and when the party was over, the only thing left to do was jump in the pool with the whole wedding party! What a day, what a night, WHAT A WEDDING! Thank you both for letting me be your Sarasota Wedding Photographer!
