Sarasota Photographer - Love And Style Photography

We are a small family owned and operated wedding and portrait photography company with over 15 years of experience. We specialize in wedding, engagement and portrait photography for families, but also high school seniors, maternity, and surprise proposals. Sunset at the beach is our favorite photography backdrop, but Sarasota/Bradenton offers a variety of beautiful places to choose from. We use a combination of natural light and off camera flash, a must in order to capture the vivid and bright colors our clients have loved for over a decade.

Summer & Becky

Hello! I’m Spencer, the nephew of Becky & Summer. I originally hail from Columbia, Missouri but I was born in Jacksonville so I’m a Florida boy at heart! My greatest passion in life is traveling and meeting new people along the way. Traveling taught me how special it is when you capture a moment between friends, families, and loved ones while they are experiencing some of the happiest moments of their life, and I have found it infinitely fulfilling doing so. That is why, when Becky and Summer called me up and asked me to be a part of the Love and Style team, I jumped at the opportunity. I have received excellent mentorship from Summer and Becky and have been trained to create the same stunning photos that they have for over a decade. I would truly be honored to not only take your photos but also get to know you and your loved ones along the way, this way we create a comfortable environment which allows your personalities to truly show and me to capture them for eternity.

Summer is a master of light and has over 15 years of experience shooting weddings. He loves color and his photos are both vivid and bright. Becky acts as your second shooter and using natural light, captures those candid moments that happen in-between the poses. Together, we create a stunning photographic collection that represents you, while bringing a fun, happy presence to your wedding day.  We are passionate about all things photography, coffee, and travel related.

We moved to Florida 5 years ago from Maui. That is where we met, got married, and worked as team shooting both weddings and portraits for the last five years. As much as we loved the island life, we are thrilled to be back on the mainland and closer to family. Being near Disney World is an added bonus. When we are not working, we enjoy watching movies, hanging out at the beach and spending time with our cats, Meli and Ginger.

Our Love Story Next...

It began on a beach in Maui, where Summer and I met 6 years ago. He had just moved to the island from Washington state with 1 suitcase and his camera, seeking sunny skies and new adventures. Yes, his name is Summer. His brother’s name is Sunshine. True story. I had also just moved to Maui from Missouri, excited for warm weather and sandy toes, but most of all looking to heal. Scar tissue from 7 abdominal surgeries after a car accident, had left me in chronic, daily pain. After trying what felt like EVERYTHING with little or no relief, I decided I would learn to be happy in spite of the pain. So, I moved to Maui, because in my mind, tropical paradise = happiness. You follow my logic, right?

Well, a few short weeks after moving to Maui, I booked a snorkel cruise.  That morning, my boat was cancelled and I was moved to the Teralani, the same boat Summer was scheduled to go on.





I believe it was fate. He was not shy about introducing himself and of course took pictures to document the day. We were fast friends and within a few months I was smitten. He wasn’t phased by my scars or the slower pace I kept because of chronic pain. I fell in love with his kindness, positive attitude and contagious laughter. His passion for photography was also contagious. We have been taking photos together ever since that day and were married in May 2015.

Somewhere between starting a business and falling in love, I quit hurting. The physical pain I had been in for years, just went away. Maybe it was the warm weather and frequent dips in the ocean or possibly the extra vitamin D I’ve been soaking up. Summer believes it was love. Paulo Coelho says, “Willpower alone cannot transform you. Love can.” It sounds trite, but maybe love does heal all things.

“There’s SO much I could say about Love and Style Photography! We are beyond happy and blessed to have had Becky and Summer capture our beautiful day! My husband and I are SO thankful to have crossed their paths. They were willing to photograph exactly what we wanted and thensome! They also didn’t hold back to use their own creative ideas for photos that ended up being more beautiful than we ever imagined! Their communication and willingness to work with us and our schedules to plan everything was so helpful. They did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. We will definitely be using them for future maternity and family photos. Highly highly highly recommend them!!!! :)”

“Love and Style Photography did both our engagement and wedding pictures on Anna Maria Island this year. Becky and Summer were an amazing team! They captured every detail of our day and gave us the most amazing sunset photographs ever. They are a great team and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. They were great with our bridal party which included my two very special children who were "Mermaids of Honor!" They were the perfect team to spend our wedding day with, and they gave us photographs we will cherish. We loved them so much we are going back to Anna Maria Island to have our maternity photos taken by Love and Style Photography. We are excited that they have been able to capture our whole journey!”
