Weddings in Anna Maria Island

Your Anna Maria Island wedding, beautifully planned.

Anna Maria Island has a character all its own, with old Florida cottages, pastel streets, piers and seven miles of Gulf beach across the cities of Anna Maria, Holmes Beach and Bradenton Beach. Weddings here tend to be relaxed, personal and full of family.

I photograph weddings across the island, including Holmes Beach. We will build in sensible travel time from the mainland and discuss a weather backup with your venue or planner, so the photographs fit comfortably around the day.

Many couples bring their guests for a long weekend. If you would like photographs of a welcome dinner or a morning-after gathering, ask about adding coverage.

Planning notes

Planning a Anna Maria Island wedding.

i.
Allow for the bridges
Island traffic can be slow in season. A little buffer keeps the timeline calm.
ii.
Lean into the charm
Colorful streets and weathered piers make wonderful portrait backdrops.
iii.
Plan a backup
Agree a covered option for summer afternoon storms.
