Filming Sarasota
We’ve been filming Sarasota weddingsfor over a decade.
Labif Filmhouse is a boutique wedding videography studio that travels to Sarasota for a limited number of weddings each year. The Gulf Coast light is unlike anywhere else in Florida — we’ve learned how to shape a film around it, not fight it.
From beachfront ceremonies on Siesta Key to the timeless grandeur of the Ringling Museum, from Marie Selby’s gardens to the Ritz-Carlton overlooking the bay — we know how Sarasota weddings move and how to capture them quietly.
What makes us different
I
Boutique, by design
We take a limited number of weddings each year. That means we know every couple by name, every venue by feel, and every detail of your day before we arrive — not after.
II
Unobtrusive on the day
No camera jutting into your vows. No flash blocking your first kiss. We carry only what we need, move with the day, and disappear into the room. There — but not there.
III
Cinematic in delivery
Your wedding film is built like a short film, not a recap. Real voices. Real moments. Color graded, scored, and cut to be watched again and again — and one day, by your grandkids.
Sarasota Venues
The Sarasota wedding venueswe know by heart.
From the Ringling Museum’s Venetian columns to the open-air gardens of Marie Selby — Sarasota’s best venues each ask for a different cinematic language. We’ve been speaking them for years.

The process
From first helloto your final film.
- 01
A private conversation
It starts with a call. We learn about the two of you, your day, your venue, what feels true to your story. No quote sheet, no aggressive sales — just a real conversation about whether we fit each other.
- 02
The day itself
Our team arrives early, briefed on every detail, and quietly disappears into the day. You won’t be directed into stiff poses. You won’t see us during your vows. You’ll just live the day — and we’ll capture it.
- 03
Your film, delivered
Within 8–12 weeks, you receive a cinematic highlight film, your full ceremony, vows and toasts in their entirety, and a delivery package built to be passed down. Not just to watch once — but for the next generation.
Frequently asked
How much does a wedding videographer in Sarasota cost?
Sarasota wedding videography typically ranges from $2,500 for shorter coverage to $10,000+ for full-day boutique cinematic films. Labif Filmhouse offers boutique packages tailored to each couple. Reach out for a private conversation about your day.
Do you film beach weddings in Sarasota and Siesta Key?
Yes. We regularly film beachfront weddings along Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key, plus traditional ceremonies at Ringling Museum, Marie Selby Gardens, and other Sarasota venues. Beach light is something we know intimately.
How far in advance should we book?
Most Sarasota couples book their wedding videographer 9–14 months in advance. Peak season dates (October through May) book first. We take a limited number of weddings per year to protect the boutique experience.
What is included in a wedding film?
A typical Labif Filmhouse wedding film includes full ceremony coverage, a cinematic highlight film (4–8 minutes), key reception moments, vows and toasts in their entirety, drone coverage where venues permit, and a final delivery in cinematic quality.
