A Wedding That Started as a Styled Shoot

Alexa and Zach’s wedding at The Orange Blossom Barn in Bushnell, FL was the very first wedding held on the property under its new ownership, and it’s also how we became a preferred vendor there.

Alexa spent years working alongside Catlyn of Chaos Coordinating by Catlyn, so she has seen more weddings from the inside than most brides ever do. Catlyn knows us well, and she also knows the new owners of The Orange Blossom Barn. When the venue changed hands, the owners needed photos of the newly renovated property, so Catlyn connected us to do a styled shoot there. Alexa and Zach were still in the early stages of venue hunting for their own wedding at the time.

The timing worked itself out. Instead of a separate styled shoot, Alexa and Zach’s wedding became the shoot. It was their actual wedding day, first dance, cake, all of it, and it also happened to be the very first Orange Blossom Barn wedding under new ownership. Every vendor walked away with real, usable images from a real couple’s day, Alexa and Zach got married exactly the way they wanted to, and it’s the connection that made us a preferred photography and videography vendor at The Orange Blossom Barn going forward.

The Ceremony at The Orange Blossom Barn

There was no first look at this Bushnell wedding. Zach waited at the end of the aisle beneath the shaded trees at The Orange Blossom Barn, at an arbor draped in white fabric and greenery, and when Alexa came into view, he teared up before she’d even reached him.

A Reception Under the String Lights

As the sun went down, the celebration moved inside the barn at The Orange Blossom Barn, string lights strung overhead and a blue and white tablescape carrying the evening, right down to the pearl-topped napkins and gold flatware. The night closed out with a sparkler exit, guests lined up on either side as Alexa and Zach walked through.

Xiwei, Rachel, and Jo all shot this wedding together as a full photo and video team, so Alexa and Zach’s day at The Orange Blossom Barn was covered from every angle. We’re now a preferred photography and videography vendor at The Orange Blossom Barn, and we waive travel fees for weddings here even though it sits well outside our usual Sarasota-Bradenton coverage area. We’d love to help capture your Bushnell wedding too.

Leah and Nicholas’ love story began across state lines, but distance couldn’t stop what was meant to be. From long drives between Massachusetts and Rhode Island to building their new life together in Florida, every chapter has brought them closer to forever.

We met for their engagement session at Longboat Key on a cool evening that couldn’t have been more perfect. The golden light, gentle breeze, and sparkling shoreline made every moment feel timeless.

Erin and Phil’s engagement session at Bean Point on Anna Maria Island was filled with laughter, warmth, and the perfect touch of adventure. They first met online, and their connection quickly grew into something genuine and lasting. During their session, a brisk 71 degree breeze swept through the shoreline, but that didn’t stop them from embracing the moment or from taking a spontaneous dip in the Gulf!

Phil recently retired as an Air Force Captain, and on this Veterans Day, we’re honored to celebrate not only their love story but also his service. Their easygoing personalities and deep bond made every frame effortless and full of heart. As Sarasota and Tampa wedding photographers and videographers, we love capturing couples like Erin and Phil, whose joy shines brighter than the Florida sunset.

Dax and Gil’s engagement session in Downtown Celebration started with a bit of rain, but that just made the evening even more magical. As the clouds cleared, the streets emptied, leaving us with a quiet and romantic city backdrop that felt like it belonged just to them. They first met at work, and from the moment we started photographing, their natural connection and laughter made it clear their story was something special.

Once night fell, they brought out lightsabers for an epic Star Wars inspired twist — glowing red and blue against the misty night air. It was bold, fun, and completely them. As Sarasota and Tampa wedding photographers and videographers, we love when couples bring their personalities into their photos, and Dax and Gil made this session unforgettable from start to finish.

This romantic styled shoot at Worthington For Events brought elegance and creativity together in a space filled with history and southern charm. Alex and Maddie joined us once more in their wedding attire, perfectly embodying modern romance against the backdrop of Worthington’s lakeside garden and rustic architecture. From golden-hour portraits surrounded by Spanish moss to intimate dances beneath the glowing chandelier, every moment reflected the venue’s timeless beauty and storybook atmosphere.

As Sarasota and Tampa wedding photographers and videographers, we were inspired by the way this venue pairs natural light with vintage textures for an unforgettable setting. With gorgeous florals by ShyChic Boutique and flawless makeup and hair by Dolled Up Brides, this shoot captured everything we love about romantic, editorial-style wedding imagery at one of Florida’s most stunning lakeside venues.

Lauren and Matt’s engagement session at Rye Preserve was the ultimate celebration of spooky season romance. Cloaked in black and surrounded by the haunting stillness of the forest, they brought their gothic vision to life in the most cinematic way possible.

With their wedding just one day away, this session feels like the perfect prelude to their big day. Their creativity, chemistry, and shared love for all things dark and romantic made this shoot unforgettable and we can’t wait to see their next chapter unfold tomorrow.
