Lisa had a picture of her parents on the table so they could attend the ceremony in spirit. Very touching!

We’ve had several brides contact us recently requesting information about our destination wedding packages. However, they’ve been interested in customizing packages since they were planning more of an elopement. Seems couples choosing to have a simple ceremony by themselves or with a couple of friends is growing in popularity. And couples aren’t just choosing Las Vegas, they’re going for places like Greece, Scotland and Mexico.
Due to this trend we have created a custom four hour package for these couples that includes the ceremony, a special lifestyle portrait session and fine art album. Think of it as a honeymoon/day after session rolled into one. It can be glamorous and elegant or fresh and romantic. For more information please contact us at: info@steevesphotography.com or 941.375.3519.
Even elopements have legal requirements so I suggest hiring a coordinator, who can assist you with those details. Here is a list of several who have experience planning international weddings:

I had fun putting together this together and I couldn’t believe how perfectly the music fit, especially the last song, “The Way You Look Tonight”. I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to leave your comments below.
Thanks again Lee & Yutaka for selecting us to document your beautiful story.
So as promised, here are truly just a few of the amazing details from Lee & Yutaka’s wedding. I was going to combine the details with the events of the reception but after posting all of these decided I’d do a Part III tomorrow. I know it means waiting to see everyone doing shots at the sake bar, dancing, etc. but trust me, it’s worth it! In the meantime, enjoy all the beautiful details and food.
And if you’re curious about all the fantastic people who made their wedding spectacular, here’s the list:
“Tennis brought them together and love will carry them for a lifetime.” - Me
I don’t even know where to begin when describing this amazing, caring couple. From the moment we met them they were energetic, fun and warm. Ford & I have enjoyed every moment with them and walked away from their wedding feeling as if we had just documented memories not just for wonderful clients but for friends.
They had friends and family travel from all over the globe for their beautiful, intimate wedding at the Sarasota Ritz Beach Club. And the details are amazing. She and Nicole Kaney planned everything perfectly and left no detail forgotten. In fact, there are so many fantastic details that you’ll have to stop by tomorrow to see all of them. I did add a few now but if you want to see the majority of them, which trust me you do, then stop by tomorrow for Part II.
The very adorable flower girl, Samantha enjoyed a little TV before hair and make-up.
First look was perfect. In fact, Yutaka actually took a peek he was so anxious to see Lee.
He couldn’t stop smiling all day.

The beautiful flower girls.
So tomorrow is details, details, details plus here’s a sneak peak of the rest of the day’s events…………..
Enjoy and I look forward to sharing so much more tomorrow!!
