Dream Wedding Portraits at the Ringling Museum
As a wedding and elopement photographer, every couple’s love story holds a special place in my heart. However, there are some stories that stand out, like Brittany and AJ’s, whose journey to their dream wedding portraits at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida, was nothing short of magical.
Brittany and AJ’s love story began a decade ago when they exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony, but due to circumstances, they missed out on the wedding portraits they had always envisioned. As their 10-year anniversary approached, they decided to celebrate by finally capturing those timeless moments they had longed for.
When we discusses the opportunity for me to document this milestone, I was honored and thrilled. The Ringling Museum was their dream venue, and despite the unpredictable weather forecast predicting a wet and rainy day, we were determined to make their vision a reality.

Before venturing to the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art for their much-anticipated portraits, Brittany and AJ began their day at the luxurious Kompose boutique hotel. As the soft morning light streamed through the windows, I had the privilege of capturing the intimate moments of their getting ready process. From Brittany’s radiant smile as she slipped into her wedding gown to AJ’s quiet anticipation as he adjusted his tie, every detail was a testament to their love story.
After the final touches, Brittany and AJ shared a quiet moment together, savoring the excitement of the day ahead. With glasses of bubbly in hand, they toasted to their love and the journey that brought them to this moment.

These precious moments captured at Kompose set the tone for the day, infusing their portraits with a sense of intimacy and anticipation. As they stepped out into the world as bride and groom, their hearts were full, ready to embark on the next chapter of their love story amidst the timeless beauty of the Ringling Museum.

While some might have hesitated, Brittany and AJ embraced the moment, choosing to embrace the romance of the rain. With clear umbrellas in hand, we ventured into the lush gardens and grand halls of the museum, capturing their love against the backdrop of nature’s tears.
The weather may not have been ideal, but it added an ethereal charm to their portraits. The rain-kissed gardens and glistening pathways provided a unique canvas for their love to shine through.
