The Sarasota Courthose + The Ringling Museum

 

One of the most popular options for an intimate Sarasota wedding or elopement is to start with the ceremony at the Sarasota County Courthouse and then continue the photo session at another beautiful location.

After the courthouse, we can walk through Downtown Sarasota for relaxed, candid and editorial portraits, or choose a more elegant setting like The Ringling Museum. For this beautiful couple, we combined their courthouse ceremony with a photo session at The Ringling, creating two completely different looks in one wedding story. The classic architecture of the courthouse and the timeless, European-inspired atmosphere of the museum worked beautifully together.

As a Sarasota wedding photographer, I help my couples plan the entire timeline, choose the best time for the ceremony and portraits, coordinate the courthouse schedule with The Ringling Museum photography reservation, and make sure we have enough time for family photos, couple portraits and travel between locations.

If you are planning a Sarasota courthouse wedding, intimate wedding or Florida elopement, we can create a photography timeline that feels relaxed while giving you a beautiful variety of timeless, editorial and candid images.

This option is especially perfect for couples coming to Sarasota from Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Venice, Naples or other parts of Florida and wanting to turn a simple courthouse ceremony into a complete wedding experience.
