This breezy beach sunrise anniversary in Sarasota, FL was photographed by Hannah Bjorndal on Saturday, February 16, 2019. Hannah is a Sarasota wedding photographer available for weddings in Sarasota, Naples, and beyond.

Bursting with joy is how I’d describe myself when Jaclyn and Pete scheduled this anniversary session with me. Evan and I have made a trip someplace warm basically every year since we’ve been married, and I always plan in a little time for being creative with my camera. We already had two weddings booked in the area, but I was longing do shoot totally for fun with friends, and Pete and Jaclyn fulfilled this wish! They graciously agreed to model some Kortni Jeane products before switching to these beautiful, beach-perfect outfits. It was a dream!

The session was photographed at Zota Beach Resort on Longboat Key – one of my very favorite resorts in Sarasota, and a place that Evan and I have traveled to on more than one occasion! It was such a treat to not only relax poolside at Zota, but also photograph the beautiful property with even more beautiful people!

Jaclyn and I met through Pete and Evan, before I became a full-time wedding photographer. We clicked really quickly over our love of being creative in our jobs and dreaming of all the different career possibilities. These two were one of the first couples to put their trust in me for their wedding day, which meant the world to me! Their wedding is still such a clear, fond memory, even many years later!

As you can see, Jaclyn is a born model and the pair are so natural in front of the camera. Their love shines through in a soft, graceful way, and I had so much fun making a little photo magic with them! Enjoy some of my favorite frames (thank you Photovision!) from the morning!
