Photographing Alana and Alex’s beautiful wedding at the Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota was a dream. Despite a busy work week, it was the kind of wedding that left us excited and energized. The wedding party started the day at the hotel in a flurry of suitcases and hairspray, as is so often the case. The sweet couple met each other for a first sight just outside the main entrance. (We love setting up a first sight! Just look at the pretty photos we were able to get.) After a few shots we then photographed the stylish wedding party before jumping in the limo.

Alana and Alex’s ceremony and reception took place at the Ritz-Carlton Bach Club on Lido Key. Grace Felice of A Wedding With Grace did a wonderful job officiating the lovely ceremony. The evening started off in full sun and ended rather cloudy, but cloudy skies provide very flattering light for photos. Cocktail hour happened on the top floor of the club. What a view! Their cake looked like it was covered in champagne bubbles. Guests danced the night away to some great music while making the rounds to the fotobooth and the bar. We had such a good time. Congratulations Alana and Alex! We were honored to be a part of your celebration.

At each wedding we photograph we catch candid photos like these while guests are chatting amongst themselves. They make for some great memories of the people you’re closest to. Our wedding photographer did this at our wedding, and ever since then we’ve made a point to do this for others.

These next two shots are so sweet. They look so at ease, don’t they?

We set up our fotobooth with our iPad near the bar. Fotobooth + bar = fun.
