<div data-breakout="normal">
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Nestled under the sweeping oak trees of <strong>Chapel Creek Weddings &amp; Events in Venice, FL</strong>, Kristen and Kyle&rsquo;s wedding was a breathtaking celebration of love.

<h2>A Magical Outdoor Ceremony</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Kristen and Kyle&rsquo;s ceremony took place on the venue&rsquo;s stunning garden promenade, where the natural canopy of oak trees created a romantic and intimate atmosphere. As Kristen walked down the aisle with a bouquet from our preferred florist, <strong>Mystic Blooms</strong>, the sun cast a golden glow, making the moment even more magical.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">One of the most touching moments of the day was when the couple chose to read their vows privately on the riverside deck. With the gentle sounds of the creek and a soft breeze rustling the leaves, their words of love and commitment felt even more profound. <strong>Chapel Creek Weddings &amp; Events in Venice, FL</strong> truly provides a picture-perfect setting for such heartfelt moments.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Alongside us was <strong>Paul Ayoub of Digital Video Productions</strong>, who beautifully filmed the day, ensuring Kristen and Kyle would have a timeless cinematic video to relive their wedding forever.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>A Rustic &amp; Elegant Reception</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">As the sun set, the celebration transitioned to the reception under Chapel Creek&rsquo;s elegant <strong>Sperry Sailcloth tent</strong>, illuminated by twinkling lights. The blend of rustic charm and modern elegance made for a cozy yet lively setting where guests could fully enjoy the night. One of our favorite moments was watching everyone hit the dance floor, thanks to the incredible entertainment by <strong>Jamal Day of Jam All Day</strong>. His energy kept the celebration going all night long!</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Adding Fun with Venice Photo Booth</h2>

<div data-breakout="normal">
<h1 data-end="340" data-start="263">A Dreamy Southwest Florida Elopement Ceremony at Sleeping Turtle Preserve</h1>
<p data-end="699" data-start="342"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Old Florida holds a timeless beauty, rich in history and untouched nature. Sunlight filters through towering oak trees draped in Spanish moss, creating a picture-perfect setting for love. <strong data-end="572" data-start="530">Sleeping Turtle Preserve in Venice, FL</strong> is one of these hidden gems&mdash;a secluded oasis where nature meets romance, making it the ideal spot for an intimate elopement.</span></p>
<p data-end="1011" data-start="701"><span style="font-size: 20px;">For Jason, this location held deep sentimental value. As a child, he played in the fields across from his grandfather&rsquo;s house, sharing countless sunsets under a majestic oak. When he and Sarah decided to elope, there was no better place than this very tree&mdash;a symbol of their love, growth, and new beginnings.</span></p>
<p data-end="1011" data-start="701">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 data-end="1047" data-start="1013">A Love Story Rooted in Nature</h2>
<p data-end="1396" data-start="1049"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Determined to find the exact tree from his childhood, Jason ventured into <strong data-end="1151" data-start="1123">Sleeping Turtle Preserve</strong> with a machete in hand, clearing a space that had become overgrown over the years. A decade later, with their three children by their side, Jason and Sarah stood beneath the ancient oak and exchanged vows in a heartfelt and intimate ceremony.</span></p>
<p data-end="1792" data-start="1398"><span style="font-size: 20px;">The moment was nothing short of magical. Their children played a special role, sharing in the first look. Their sons were mesmerized by their mother&rsquo;s beauty, and the youngest was overcome with emotion, shedding happy tears that moved everyone present. To make the day even more meaningful, each child presented Sarah with a ring to add to Jason&rsquo;s&mdash;a touching symbol of their bond as a family.</span></p>

<div data-breakout="normal">
<p data-end="549" data-start="217"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Brianna and Jordan&rsquo;s wedding at <strong data-end="302" data-start="249">Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club in Port Charlotte, FL</strong> was a breathtaking celebration filled with love, laughter, and an unexpected touch of Florida&rsquo;s signature weather. From dramatic rain showers to sunlit vows, their wedding day was a testament to the beauty of love that shines through any storm.</span></p>
<p data-end="549" data-start="217">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 data-end="587" data-start="551">A Rainy Start, A Radiant Ending</h2>
<p data-end="871" data-start="589"><span style="font-size: 20px;">The day began with a classic <strong data-end="647" data-start="618">Southwest Florida wedding</strong> twist&mdash;a sudden downpour that left everyone wondering if the ceremony would be moved indoors. But as seasoned <strong data-end="797" data-start="757">Port Charlotte wedding photographers</strong>, we&rsquo;ve learned that the most magical moments often come after the rain.</span></p>
<p data-end="871" data-start="589">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-end="1199" data-start="873"><span style="font-size: 20px;">As if on cue, the clouds parted just in time for Brianna and Jordan to say &ldquo;I do.&rdquo; The sun cast a golden glow over the waterfront venue, illuminating the couple as they exchanged vows beneath a beautifully decorated arch. It was a scene straight out of a fairytale, proving that a little rain only makes love shine brighter.</span></p>
<p data-end="1199" data-start="873">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 data-end="1250" data-start="1201">A Family Tradition of Unforgettable Weddings</h2>
<p data-end="1685" data-start="1252"><span style="font-size: 20px;">This wasn&rsquo;t our first time celebrating with Brianna&rsquo;s family. We had the honor of photographing her sister&rsquo;s <strong data-end="1393" data-start="1361">Jurassic Park-themed wedding</strong>, and it was a joy to see the same adventurous spirit infused into Brianna and Jordan&rsquo;s big day. Their wedding was filled with heartwarming moments, lively energy, and surprises&mdash;including a showstopping choreographed dance by the bridesmaids, a fun nod to their family&rsquo;s love of creativity.</span></p>
<p data-end="1685" data-start="1252">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 data-end="1722" data-start="1687">A Sunset Reception to Remember</h2>
<p data-end="2075" data-start="1724"><span style="font-size: 20px;">As the evening unfolded, the Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club transformed into an elegant reception space where guests danced the night away. Our <strong data-end="1894" data-start="1865">luxury photo booth rental</strong> was a huge hit, providing guests with high-quality prints and instant digital downloads to take home. The laughter, candid moments, and joyous energy made it a night to remember.</span></p>
<p data-end="2075" data-start="1724">&nbsp;</p>

Bradenton Florida Wedding Photographer | Bakers Ranch Wedding | Rob and Adrianne

We cannot recommend Meg and Mike enough! They were able to work with us on very short notice to get in a mini engagement photo session while we were visiting FL. They went above and beyond every step of the way and were fabulous to work with...professional and fun! The pictures turned out amazing! Bonus is they are such great people and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed the entire time! We can't wait to use them again in the coming years for future family pictures!

This was the best decision I made to make my wedding stress free was hiring Meg&Mike. They helped us through every step of the wedding process and could help answer even other questions outside of photography for weddings when needed since they have such great experience. From Engagement to the Photo Booth at reception, Meg&Mike did it all. They have such an amazing eye to make everything shine in the brightest light, I can't recommend them more highly for any photography needs.

I only got back a few of our wedding photos so far but I love them. I have to say this couple is an absolute pleasure to work with. They were fun and enjoyable and the evening didn’t feel like a bunch of forced photos, yet the shot I have seen so far are perfect.  As we enjoyed our night we noticed that they were around in the background carrying everything from a perfect distance where you didn’t feel like you had a camera constantly in your face but they were not missing anything. Can not wait to see the rest. You both are genuinely awesome to work with
