Carla + David | Modern Rooftop Sarasota Elopement

I first met Carla & David while shooting another wedding here in Florida. When I first decided I wanted to create another styled shoot, I reached out to them to ask if they would model. They not only said YES, but they told me they’re actually engaged! So this worked as a really fun engagement shoot, and I designed the entire Modern Rooftop Sarasota Elopement VIBE around these two.

When I tell you we had fun on this shoot, I mean we had a TON of fun. You’ll see so much laughter throughout the photos, and that’s because Carla & David are a blast. They fully embraced the whole shoot, and I loved these images we created for them.

And I got to have my good friend Emily, of Emily Rose Valentine Florist, on the shoot with me. She designed the insane floral ceremony space on the rooftop, complete with small disco ball accents. And the bride’s full bouquet complemented the pink in the shoot, without matching too much. Emily nailed it.

I had David wear a velvet pink suit jacket and black pants to add to that modern vibe. And Carla wore two different outfits: one short pink tulle dress that was flirty and fun, and another traditional wedding gown with a sheer bodice.

They looked STUNNING.

Carla & David, thank you for participating in this modern rooftop Sarasota elopement styled shoot. It was so much fun to have you on set, and I hope you enjoy these photos & they get you excited for your own (real, haha) wedding day!!
