Pixiedust Factory LLC

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Ellenton, FL

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 were looking for a photographer who would capture our special day in more than just photos. It was essential for us to have someone who could convey emotions and capture those natural moments. Let’s be honest—typical posed wedding photos aren’t something anyone looks back at later. With Carolin, we hit the jackpot! She is incredibly friendly and works professionally, delivering results that are amazing and worth every euro. We chose the full package with photos and a wedding film, and we couldn’t be happier with that decision. Our friends and family love the memories of our wonderful day, and the enthusiasm from our guests for Carolin has led to several bookings for more weddings and family photos—what better compliment could she receive? Everything went smoothly from the start. Whenever we had questions or felt uncertain, Carolin was always there to help and listen. Her self-created wedding planner was an incredible aid for our timeline. If you want unique memories of your wedding that are anything but ordinary, Carolin is the perfect choice. We are so grateful for everything and look forward to showing this wonderful video and these photos to our children one day. A heartfelt thank you to Carolin! To all future brides and grooms, you can’t go wrong by choosing her. Book her, and cross that off your to-do list!

I am SO excited that you stumbled upon my work! I shoot weddings all across Florida & New England! Capturing raw, true emotions as they happen is what I’m all about. I want to capture it all on your big day. From the moments of you putting your dress to the tears running down your face as you read your vows to each other. To the first kiss and “OMG you’re my spouse now!!” feels. To the unexpected Taco Bell run you make after the ceremony or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor. Being able to grab the moments for you to hold to forever, is such a rewarding humbling job for me.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gloria is AMAZING!!!!! She was one of the first vendors we booked for our 2024 wedding, and from the first phone call, it was clear that we made the right decision. She understood our vision immediately as we described what we were hoping for from our wedding photos. The day of the wedding, she was a fly on the wall for so many candids, knew when to give direction, and when to hang back. Her work speaks for itself, but the fact that she is also kind, creative, and so easy to work with was really the icing on the cake. We will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a sign to book Gloria Bloise Photography for your big day, consider this it.

I'll never forget how delighted my daughter was when she had a first look at the floral arrangements and tables for her wedding reception that Michelle Borrero with Precious Moments Events and her team had designed. Every detail was perfect! The roses lining the aisle on the lawn when the bride walked in were gorgeous as well. The prettiest roses I ever saw! I had been worried about the availability of flowers for a January wedding yet Michelle found large, white roses and blue hydrangea. I'm so glad we had Michelle arranging the wedding for us! She gave me some advice that saved us some money. She was always there for us when we had a question. On the wedding day, she kept everything so organized that I wasn't nervous at all. Everything went smoothly! We received many, many compliments from wedding guests!

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

Hi! I’m Kyela, the owner and planner behind Edition Fourteen Weddings & Events. Based in Sarasota, Florida and the Hamptons, New York, (a snow bird!) I work with couples near and far to create celebrations that feel thoughtful, personal, and well hosted. I believe the most meaningful weddings are designed with intention and planned with care. From full service planning and event design to intimate celebrations and elopements, my approach is calm, collaborative, and centered on making each event feel entirely yours.

Kyela and her team at Fourteen Weddings & Events, LLC is truly exceptional! Kyela was the coordinator for my wedding, and I honestly can’t imagine the day without her. She went above and beyond in ways I didn’t even know I needed. One of the most meaningful things she did was take over my social media for the day, which allowed me to be fully present while still ending up with the most genuine, candid memories of our wedding. The behind the scene dance videos are some of my favorite memories. Being able to relive those moments over and over again is such a gift. Kyela also paid incredible attention to the small details that made everything feel so personal and thoughtful; like the beautiful custom labels with our names and wedding date on all of the champagne served. Those little touches elevated the entire experience and made our wedding feel uniquely us. And the champagne cart was one of the most beautiful elements of the day. All of our guests asked us where we got it! Kyela is organized, creative, and genuinely cares about her couples. If you’re looking for a coordinator who will treat your wedding like it truly matters, Fourteen Weddings & Events is the way to go. I can’t recommend Kyela highly enough.

Hello! My name is Yuliya. I am a photographer with a deep passion for capturing beautiful moments and creating visual stories, based in Sarasota, FL. While my background initially led me down a path in Financial Compliance, my true calling was always in the realm of art and creativity. I love every aspect of photography, from meeting you and capturing your happiest moments to the post-processing stage. I have been photographing families and new mothers primarily. However, I have discovered that I love photographing weddings just as much! I would love to capture your perfect moments that will be remembered forever.

Yuliya Fox Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Yuliya contacted us before our ceremony to ask what pictures did we want taken and any special requests, which was very nice of her to introduce herself beforehand and let us know what to expect. Yuliya was very professional and kind, and her work reflects that. We had a beach wedding and it was very hot that day, but Yuliya and her crew acted as if it was just another comfortable day of awesome work. During the ceremony we never even noticed her, but she took the most amazing, detailed photos of us and our family, even our officiant! I would definitely recommend Yuliya to anyone who is looking for a skilled photographer. She made our memories of our wedding day that much more special.

Amber is so much more than a photographer — she’s an artist, a calming presence, and the ultimate hype woman all in one. Her ability to capture both the big moments and the quiet, candid ones is a true gift. Looking through our wedding photos feels like reliving the day, and that’s all thanks to her incredible eye and attention to detail. She made being in front of the camera feel completely natural — like having a friend beside us who just happened to be taking the most stunning photos. Amber was both professional and fun, giving direction effortlessly (even with a big group!) and keeping things moving without ever feeling rushed. We’re so grateful she was part of our day — and even more grateful to have the memories she captured to cherish forever. Book her. It'll be one of the best decisions you could make!
