Sarasota Wedding Photos — FAQs

We're camera‑shy — how do you help us look natural in photos?

I keep you moving with simple prompts and focus on moments over posing. Most couples relax within minutes and forget the camera is there.

Can we share a short must‑have list without making things feel staged?

Absolutely—share 5–10 important frames. I'll work them in naturally so the day still feels candid and relaxed.

What's your editing vibe (true‑to‑color, film‑y, black‑and‑white)? Can we choose a mix?

My baseline is clean, true‑to‑color with flattering skin tones. We'll add select black‑and‑white and can lean a touch warmer/filmic if you like.

Do you send sneak peeks? How soon after the wedding?

Yes—expect a small preview within a few days, with your full gallery delivered within two weeks.

Can you suggest photo spots near our venue and help time them for golden hour?

Yes—I'll map walkable options and plan timing for the best light. Florida golden hour is incredible, especially near the waterfront. We'll keep travel minimal so you stay with guests.

Do we need permits for beach or park locations in Sarasota?

Some spots like Siesta Key Beach and Sarasota county parks have rules depending on equipment and group size. I'll flag what to check and help you confirm with the venue or county.

If it rains or the wind kicks up, how do you keep us comfortable and the photos beautiful?

We'll set a simple rain plan, use covered spots, and embrace clear umbrellas. Florida storms pass quickly and the light after is often the best of the day.

How do you handle family photos quickly so we don't miss cocktail hour?

We'll make a short list in advance and assign a point person. With good prep, 15–20 minutes often covers what matters most.

Can we include our dog/kids/grandparents without derailing the flow?

Yes—tell me who's important and we'll slot them into portraits or quick cameos so the day stays easy and fun.

How are our photos backed up, and how long will the gallery stay online?

Images are backed up on‑site and to the cloud. Your online gallery remains live for at least 12 months—exact details are in your contract.
