Meghan + Zachary Step Into The Limelight | Zota Beach Resort | Longboat Key, FL

Meghan and Zach’s story began with a swipe in the right direction.

As people sought connection during the quiet moments of lockdown, Meghan and Zach found each other.

A couple of years after meeting, during a trip to Savannah, Georgia, Zach asked Meghan to spend forever with him. She said yes, and the countdown to their dream wedding began.

That dream came to life at the breathtaking Zota Beach Resort in Sarasota, Florida—a perfect setting for their classy, tropical beach wedding. With elegant touches of green and lush natural décor woven throughout the celebration, the entire day reflected the fresh, vibrant feel of spring.

They exchanged vows with their feet in the sand, the ocean breeze dancing through the air, and the rhythmic sound of waves offering the most peaceful atmosphere. It was a day filled with warmth, beauty, and undeniable joy—a true celebration of a love that was meant to be.

Hanni + Brian Step Into The Limelight | Zota Beach Resort | Longboat Key, FL

Hanni and Brian were introduced by a friend/co-worker.  They immediately hit it off and began dating. At the time, Brian lived in Virginia Beach so he would drive up every other weekend for a whole year until he moved up to Northern Virginia. In mid May, Brian put a ring on a crawfish claw on a plate of crawfish and proposed to the love of his life, Hanni. They absolutely love spending time together and enjoy each other’s friendship. Together, they fly fish, enjoy bike rides, walk their two labs and enjoy traveling.

This wonderful couple got married at the Zota Beach Resort in Long Boat Key FL. Their beautiful ceremony was held on the beach. Hanni looked spectacular in her white wedding gown as her father walked her down to meet Brian who was so excitedly waiting for her. This was definitely a moment to remember since her father had recently had a couple complications but he made it down the aisle to give her away.

After this heartwarming ceremony, the new weds joined their friends and family to celebrate their love for each other inside one of the resorts banquet halls.
