A quiet beach wedding on Anna Maria Island, surrounded by family, ocean breezes, and a beautiful Florida sunset.

Looking back through older weddings recently and was reminded how much I love intimate celebrations like this. There is something special about keeping the focus on the people and moments that matter most.

Anna Maria Island will always be one of my favorite places along Florida’s Gulf Coast for a wedding day.

I recently finished a venue guide featuring one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Sarasota — The Ringling.

From the historic courtyard and waterfront views to the long archways and gardens, the property offers so many beautiful spaces for weddings and portraits throughout the day.

I shared some favorite ceremony locations, portrait areas, lighting considerations, and planning insights for couples considering a Ringling wedding.

There’s something about a courtyard ceremony that changes the pace of a wedding day.

This one took place at the Museum of Fine Arts in downtown St. Petersburg — such a beautiful, intimate space surrounded by architecture and soft natural light.

I recently shared a closer look at this wedding on the blog for anyone exploring venues along Florida’s Gulf Coast: https://kenzieshores.com/2026/04/07/museum-of-fine-arts-courtyard-wedding-in-st-petersburg-florida-wedding-photographer/

A beautiful wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota, Florida.

This venue is one of the most unique along the Gulf Coast, with a waterfront ceremony space, historic architecture, and a courtyard reception that overlooks the bay. Everything about the setting allows the day to unfold naturally—from quiet moments getting ready to sunset portraits by the water.

This wedding felt especially calm and intentional from beginning to end.
