Wedding, Engagement & Proposal Photography for Modern Romantics
Serving Sarasota, Florida & beyond
Jonelle Forbes Photography
For Couples:
The Curated Elopement Experience is a fully designed, all-day celebration built around movement, storytelling, and intentional locations. Instead of one backdrop, we craft a wedding day that unfolds in chapters — blending architecture, hidden landscapes, historic spaces, and natural elements that reflect your style.
MY SERVICES
Whether it’s a surprise proposal tucked into a meaningful location or an engagement session that feels more like a date than a photoshoot, this is about capturing that in-between energy. The anticipation. The nerves. The way you look at each other when no one’s watching.
MY SERVICES
From the energy of getting ready to the chaos of the dance floor, I document your celebration in a way that feels elevated but real. Editorial when it matters. Unscripted when it counts. The big moments, the quiet ones, the architecture, the movement — it all weaves together into something that actually feels like your day.

FAQ
Where are you based? Are travel fees included?
I am based in Sarasota, FL. I do not charge a travel fee for weddings within 2 hours of Sarasota. Please reach out for a custom quote for anything outside of the Sarasota area. I do have a few bucket list locations that I will waive travel fees for (please inquire for more info).
How long does it take to receive our photos ? How many images do we get?
I deliver wedding galleries within 6-8 weeks in the slow months, and 8-10 weeks during peak season (October-March). You'll also receive a sneak peek within a few days of your wedding! I typically deliver around 75 images per hour of coverage.
Can we set up a meeting?
I would love to! Preserving your most precious moments is a big deal, so it makes sense that you'd want to connect with the person capturing them! Let's set up a phone call, video chat, or if you are local to Sarasota we can meet for coffee at a time that works best for you to help you feel more comfortable.
What is your photography and editing style?
My editing style is film inspired and true to color with a touch of warmth. I enjoy discovering unique lighting and looking for intriguing architecture/environmental elements to transform what would otherwise be an average portrait into art. As for photography, I use a mix of both prompts and poses for portraits, but I mainly take a photojournalistic approach on your wedding day, allowing me to document moments as they unfold organically. My style seamlessly merges photojournalism & artistic portraits, resulting in a gallery that not only showcases your wedding day, but reminds you of what you felt.
Can I make additional editing requests after I receive my images?
Your gallery images come with light retouching and color/tone adjustments. The tone and color edits reflect my artistic style and cannot be changed after delivery, as they represent the essence of my work. If you would like more detailed retouching—such as adjustments to hair, skin, or background—this can be done for an additional $20 per image.
How long will our gallery remain online?
I'll host your online gallery on my website for a full year after your shoot, giving you the flexibility to access and download your photos whenever you need. I also save backups of your images, just in case. I do highly encourage clients to download their gallery as soon as they receive it and to save the images on a usb & cloud service to keep them safe!
