Love, Color, and Celebration at The Powel Crosley Estate
LGBTQ Sarasota Wedding at Powel Crosley Estate
The Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota is one of those venues that just begs to be filmed. Spanish-style architecture, a soft bay breeze, and golden light spilling through arched windows, it’s like the place knows it’s the star of the show. When Love Loudly Events reached out about creating a fun, vibrant film for a stylized LGBTQ wedding, I knew it would be something special. This wasn’t just about pretty visuals; it was about capturing a moment in time for a planner stepping into her own spotlight.
This shoot marked the start of Love Loudly’s full-time wedding planning career after years of working behind the scenes for other venues. She wanted something bold, joyful, and unapologetically authentic, a celebration of love in all its forms. The design was a feast for the senses: florals exploding with color and texture, a tablescape with personality and charm, and a couple whose connection made everything feel alive. Every detail was intentional, and every choice felt like an extension of their love story.
As the filmmaker, my goal was simple, highlight the beauty of the venue and the emotion between the couple in a way that felt genuine and alive. I filmed the way sunlight danced on the water, the soft glances they shared, and those candid bursts of laughter that you just can’t stage. The Powel Crosley Estate made my job easy. From the grand staircase and courtyard to the breezy lawn stretching over Sarasota Bay, every corner was cinematic. It’s no wonder this spot is a dream for any Sarasota wedding photographer or filmmaker.
What made the day even better was the collaboration. Love Loudly brought together a team of talented creatives, and everyone poured their heart into the vision. We weren’t just building a styled shoot, we were telling a story, one that celebrated inclusion, artistry, and genuine connection. The couple brought such warmth and authenticity that, at times, it truly felt like we were filming their real wedding day.
By the end, I had more than just a highlight reel. I had a film that captured joy in motion, a visual love letter to one of Florida’s most iconic wedding venues and a celebration of Love Loudly’s exciting new chapter. If you’re dreaming of a Florida wedding that blends elegance with personality, The Powel Crosley Estate is a gem. And if you’re looking for a planner who can take your vision and make it sing, Love Loudly is exactly who you need in your corner.
