SELBY GARDENS Downtown Sarasota, FL
Katie + Austin Brown
Welcome to Katie and Austin’s wedding blog!
In the world of wedding photography, there are love stories that seem destined to be, and Katie and Austin’s love was truly fate. On February 19th, 2023, at the breathtaking Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida, the couple sealed their love in a sweet and romantic wedding ceremony surrounded by fragrant white roses and twinkling candles that set the perfect mood. As their wedding team, we had the honor of capturing the magic of their special day, and every moment was filled with the kind of love that truly stands the test of time.
Katie’s entrance down the aisle was nothing short of magical. As the sun began to lower over the water, casting a golden hue across the venue, she appeared in her elegantly stunning dress, looking like a vision of beauty. The love and adoration in Austin’s eyes as he saw his bride for the first time were heartwarming and touching. The atmosphere was filled with love and excitement, and it was evident that this moment was the culmination of a love story written in the stars.
Katie and Austin’s love story began while they were in middle school, on a shared summer beach vacation, where they found themselves engaged in a sweet rivalry among their friend groups. Little did they know that this playful competition would lay the foundation for a love that would last a lifetime. Fate intervened, and their paths crossed again in Florida, where they both found themselves living separate lives. However, it was during a literal storm—a hurricane—that they weathered together, that their love truly blossomed. From that moment on, they knew they were meant to be together, and their journey of love began.
The wedding ceremony was intimate and heartwarming, surrounded by lush greenery and the serenity of nature. As Katie and Austin exchanged their vows, it was evident that they were promising each other a lifetime of love, support, and joy. Their love story was truly one for the books, and it was an honor to witness such a powerful connection between two people.
After the ceremony, the celebrations continued into a romantic and fulfilled reception. The twinkling candles and fragrant roses set the perfect ambiance as guests danced the night away. Laughter and joy filled the air, and the love that Katie and Austin shared was infectious, spreading to everyone present. It was evident that their love had touched the hearts of all those who were lucky enough to be a part of their special day.
