We absolutely loved Bakers Ranch. We fell in love with the venue as soon as we toured it and immediately signed our contract to have our wedding there. The entire staff was amazing in helping us plan everything and making the actual wedding day go super smooth. They kept us on track and made sure everything came out exactly as we envisioned it. Missy & Cheyenne were the best wedding helpers we could’ve asked for & helped make our vision come alive. So much of the stress you hear about coming with a wedding was alleviated from us having it at Bakers Ranch.

Hi everyone, I’m Carolin, originally from Würzburg, Germany, and now living in Bradenton, Florida. For over 11 years, I’ve been a professional photographer, specializing in weddings, couples, and families. My background in graphic design helps me focus on capturing beauty and detail to create lasting memories. In my free time, I love relaxing at Anna Maria Island’s beaches with my husband Philipp and starting my day with a Chai Latte from Starbucks. I’m also passionate about exploring new cultures and traveling. Can’t wait to get to know you!

We booked Carolin as our photographer for our wedding, and let me tell you, the photos are beyond amazing! She didn’t just snap pictures – she captured every single moment perfectly, from the big emotional highlights to the small, unexpected ones that made the day unforgettable. But Carolin was more than just our photographer. She helped us with so much of the planning and was always there with helpful advice, a calming presence, and the ability to make us laugh when we needed it most. Carolin has been with us for years now, capturing all the important moments in our lives. From family portraits to our engagement shoot, and even our newborn photos – she’s documented it all with such care and creativity. We truly can't imagine having anyone else by our side for these milestones. And honestly, this is just the beginning! There will definitely be more photoshoots to come. So, if you're looking for someone who’s not just a photographer but also a friend through the entire process, we can’t recommend Carolin enough!

Let’s get to know each other! 👋🏼 Hi, I’m Brittany — and I’m so excited you’re here! First of all, thank you for considering me to be a part of your special day. With over 10 years of experience in wedding planning and design, I’ve had the absolute joy of helping couples bring their dream weddings to life. When I’m not coordinating timelines or fluffing veils, you’ll find me soaking up the sun ☀️, sipping on coffee ☕, or spending time with my crew — my husband of 7 years, our two amazing kids and our two pups, Bear and Boone.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brittany was an awesome day-of coordinator! If we had to go back and do it again, Brittany would be one of the first people we would call. She brought a much needed calm, conscientious, and confident presence to give us the perfect day. She was around every step of the way to understand the big-picture and minute-by-minute logistics. She helped us create our timeline, wrangle and align all the vendors, and stayed in close contact with everybody to keep the event going the exact way we imagined. When small issues would emerge, she handled them with ease and speed. When we ran behind schedule, she was reassuring and did a great job helping us prioritize what we needed to do. She was also incredibly hospitable and thoughtful – she even brought us a plate of appetizers since we were doing photos during our cocktail hour! The last thing I wanted to say is that Brittany was actually our SECOND day-of coordinator, because we had to fire our first one. Maybe that means we have high standards? I don’t know. But, if we do, Brittany certainly exceeded them. She gave us tremendous confidence in her and her ability to carry out our event throughout the entire process. -Zak and Hannah

Capturing the beauty of your big day as a wedding photographer is a dream come true! I have a heart to serve couples and families, each moment fills my heart, as I capture the details that make your day special.

If you’re considering booking Deanna as your wedding photographer- do it!!! She is an incredibly talented photographer, and was amazing to work with! From our first inquiry phone call, I immediately felt at ease and knew that we would be in great hands. When our venue in Sarasota told us they were unable to host us two days before the wedding, we had to pivot and choose a new venue in Tampa. Deanna was so flexible and understanding about the last minute change! Our entire wedding day was seamless thanks to Deanna and her second shooter Miranda. They did an amazing job of knowing exactly which moments to capture, and brought so much creativity and fun to the process as well. It was the perfect combination of planned and candid moments, and we felt so comfortable and happy all day. It couldn’t have been easy to make the last minute change after planning photos around a completely different venue, but you wouldn’t know it from how confident, professional, and well executed everything was! We got our photos only a week after the wedding, which was the best surprise! The photos all look amazing and did a great job of capturing all of our guests, all of our decor, and all the special moments from the day. I had high expectations, and they exceeded all of them! We are so happy with how beautiful our photos turned out, and will cherish them for the rest of our lives, thank you Deanna!!

I can't even begin to express how in awe I am of our wedding day photos. Bethany and John have beautifully captured one of me and my husband's core memories. Our photos are light, dreamy, radiant and colorful - candid, posed and fun, at all the best and most flattering angles - everything I was looking for when searching for a photography team. At a personal level, Bethany and John are the most kind hearted souls. We felt so comfortable with them, cared for, and looked out after. For example, we had some family members try to input themselves into what was supposed to be me and my husband's special moments, and John and Bethany politely stepped in and took care of it, with grace and confidence. I so appreciated John for paying close attention to details - he would fix a fly away hair, ask me to sit up a little straighter, or adjust my arm in a more flattering way. The both of them can just so wonderfully read a room and the people in it. I never had to ask them of anything, they can just sense and spot a special moment. Bethany is so organized and her timeline, ideas, and plan were so carefully and thoughtfully played out! For someone who can be quite meticulous and analytical times, I'm as happy as can be and overly satisfied.. We now have the most beautiful engagement session photos and wedding day photos I could have ever asked for. We can't wait for family photos with Bethjoy when we add a little one to our lives!

Our wedding at Whispering Palms Barn was nothing short of magical. The venue itself is incredibly beautiful, with every detail from the natural surroundings to the charming rustic touches creating the perfect atmosphere for our special day. It truly felt like a dream setting. What made the experience even more exceptional was the owners. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, providing a seamless and stress free experience from start to finish. Their care, organization, and genuine passion for what they do made all the difference. We honestly could not have imagined our wedding anywhere else. If you are considering this venue, do not miss the opportunity to have Hank the donkey make an appearance. He was such a fun and memorable addition and absolutely worth it. We are so grateful for the unforgettable experience and would highly recommend Whispering Palms Barn to anyone looking for a truly special wedding venue.

AnaFloral was absolutely incredible. We wanted a very colorful wedding with specific flowers in mind, and they patiently tweaked every quote and visual with us until it was absolute perfection. As two brides with similar but different tastes, they were so thoughtful in making sure each bouquet truly reflected each of us individually. That level of care meant everything. The trust we placed in AnaFloral was met and exceeded — they executed our vision exactly as we imagined. When we finally saw the florals, we were completely blown away by how breathtaking they were. All we could say was wow. If you are looking for florals that are intentional, vibrant, and beautifully executed, AnaFloral is the team to trust.

Nailah from StackD Cake Studio was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding desserts. From our very first interaction, they were attentive, communicative, and cordial, making the entire process a breeze. The cakes and desserts she created for us were not only delicious, but truly amazing, creative, and over the top. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the flavors to the beautiful design. The final products exceeded our wildest expectations and were the talk of the reception, and when I say the talk I mean that our guests were literally wanting more! Specially the Guava Posset!!! We are so grateful to StackD Cake Studio for helping make our special day even more wonderful.
