Wedding photography is a family heirloom to be treasured and passed down through the generations. It is a great responsibility to photograph your wedding and one that I am honored that you are considering me for. Weddings are fun, hectic, sometimes chaotic days, filled with laughs, tears of joy, and a celebration of lifelong love. I will be with you from the start of your wedding planning process and after. While many of the vendors you pick you will only interact with just once or twice until the wedding day, your photographer is your partner both before and after the wedding. Contact us to learn more about our exceptional service team.

Shutter Speak was amazing both leading up to and the day of our wedding. We planned our wedding as a destination wedding and having Joe from Shutter Speak help us with great suggestions and tips probably saved us from making several mistakes. The pictures were amazing and Joe was super easy to work with. We felt like we knew him for years just a few minutes after we met him.

We Had The Absolute Best Wedding of Our Lives on 11/22/25! Bakers Ranch isn’t just a venue—it’s where dreams become reality, and ours exceeded every expectation. From the very first planning call to the last dance, the entire process was seamless, stress-free, and downright magical. Our lead planners, Cheyenne and Maria, were incredible. They’re the perfect blend of professional expertise and genuine excitement—like having your most thoughtful friends guiding you through the beautiful chaos of wedding planning. Cheyenne went above and beyond for me: I had endless questions and late-night emails (so I wouldn’t forget a single detail!), and she always honored my thought process. She even scheduled extra time for our weekly meetings to make sure every part of my vision was heard and brought to life. Maria matched that energy perfectly—their partnership made everything feel effortless and joyful. The team’s collaboration with our vendors was flawless. We had a large 9-piece band, and they loved the setup and vibe just as much as our guests did. The catering partnership is truly special too—a small, family-owned business that made us feel like family. I’ll never forget the honor of having the caterer owner personally deliver our dinner to my husband and me during the reception. It was such a touching, personal touch. The day itself was perfection. Guests raved for weeks afterward—one even sent my parents a handwritten letter saying it was the best wedding they’d ever attended! The all-around vibe was warm, elegant, and unforgettable—everyone felt the love and care that went into every detail. I was that little girl who dreamt of her wedding day, and Bakers Ranch knocked it out of the park. I couldn’t have dreamt up the perfection that day was. If you’re that couple wanting the most fun, romantic, effortless wedding for both you and your guests, Bakers Ranch is the way to go—and ask for Cheyenne and Maria! If you’re looking for a venue that truly cares, delivers on every promise, and turns your vision into something extraordinary, Bakers Ranch is it. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you, Cheyenne, Maria, and the entire Bakers Ranch team—you made our day unforgettable! The Kaelin’s.

Emma-Rose photographed our beach wedding beautifully and we highly recommend Sandhill Photography! She was energetic and constantly moving to make sure that she captured our day from different angles before the sun set. She was easy to work with and told us how to stand so that we didn’t look too awkward or staged. She even got my 3-year-old nephew to stop moving around and actually look at the camera by giving him a shell to hold which worked perfectly. We received our fully edited pictures back quickly, which was perfect as we are using them in our thank-you cards.

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.

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!!

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! Thank you Bethany and John, for the best keepsakes, and for being you!
