We loved working on AJ and Jess’ wedding at the Ritz Carlton in Sarasota, Florida. Their story is beyond interesting as we had a whole wedding planned to happen at Grace Bay Resorts in Turks and Caicos for May 2020, and due to the pandemic we tried postponing twice, and after several attempts we decided to move it to their home state of Florida, considering all the changing circumstances of COVID.

They ended up getting married a whole year after but the wait was so worth it.

The gallery has two parts, as there were two days of celebrations. The bride being American and the groom Indian, we wanted to be able to celebrate following each of their cultures.
