We are best buds. A mom and pop and uncle crew.
The Next Best Men is a small team of wedding photographers and longtime friends who met in college in Sarasota, Florida. We bonded over a shared love of photography, motorcycles, and just about any excuse to hang out. Building a wedding photography business together gave us one more reason to do all three!
Over a decade later, we're still doing what we love, photographing weddings throughout Sarasota, Bradenton, Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, and Southwest Florida, as well as Western North Carolina, Northern Michigan, and beyond.
Together, we specialize in candid, documentary-style wedding photography. We know how to find beautiful light, guide you through portraits, wrangle a wedding party, and help even the most camera-shy couples feel comfortable. But our favorite photos? Those usually happen all on their own, when everyone's caught up in the moment and we're in just the right place to capture it.
Our approach is simple: keep things relaxed, have some fun, and tell the story of your wedding day as it naturally unfolds.
If our work speaks to you, we'd love to hear from you! Tell us a little about yourselves, what you're planning, and what you're most excited about.
After all, your best man gets you to the altar. We make sure you remember the view.
