Sarasota Wedding Photographer | Historic Spanish Point Wedding

A Dream Wedding at Historic Spanish Point | Christina & Dan

Some weddings feel like something out of a storybook—and Christina and Dan’s day at Historic Spanish Point in Sarasota, Florida, was exactly that. Surrounded by centuries-old oak trees, lush gardens, and breathtaking views of Sarasota Bay, this waterfront wedding was both heartfelt and deeply meaningful.

For Christina, the venue held a lifetime of memories. Having grown up in Sarasota, she spent countless hours exploring the coastal trails and rowing along the bay near Historic Spanish Point. Even after moving overseas and finding her soulmate, Dan, she knew in her heart she’d one day return home to say “I do.”

As Sarasota wedding photographers, capturing love stories at Historic Spanish Point is a dream we’ve held for years. Long before we launched Meg & Mike Photography, we’d visit the park with our kids, always imagining what it would be like to photograph a couple among the banyan trees and historic ruins. I can still remember sitting with Mike on a bench overlooking the bay, saying, “One day, we’ll shoot weddings here.” That day finally arrived—and it was even more magical than we imagined.

Why We Love Historic Spanish Point for Weddings

This hidden gem in Sarasota blends old Florida charm with unmatched natural beauty. As part of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Historic Spanish Point offers:

It’s a versatile wedding venue ideal for couples who want both natural beauty and timeless architecture.

Christina & Dan’s Magical Wedding Day

Christina walked down the aisle under a canopy of moss-draped oak trees, framed by the soft glow of the Florida sun peeking through the leaves. The couple exchanged vows surrounded by friends, family, and the tranquil sounds of the bay.

After the ceremony, we took golden hour portraits along the shoreline—some of our absolute favorite shots to date. The soft pink and orange tones of the Sarasota sunset created the perfect backdrop for Christina’s lace gown and Dan’s classic suit.

Their reception was full of laughter and joy, featuring heartfelt toasts, dancing under the stars, and nonstop fun with our Venice Photo Booth rental, which guests absolutely loved. Our open-air photo booth kept the energy alive and gave everyone a chance to capture candid, joyful moments throughout the night.
