When Brittany and Matt decided to plan their wedding, they knew they wanted something different—something that felt more like them. Just sunshine, sand, and the people who matter most. So they packed their bags and left Buffalo behind for the weekend, trading chilly weather for the warm breeze of Sarasota, Florida.

Their wedding took place at the stunning Lido Beach Resort, tucked right along the Gulf of Mexico. Think white sand, salty air, and the kind of view you never want to forget. With just 40 of their closest people, the weekend felt more like an intimate vacation than a production—which is exactly how they wanted it.

Brittany and Matt’s love for travel is what led them to Florida in the first place. They wanted their wedding to be an experience, not just an event. Lido Beach gave them that and more.

The day of their wedding was simple and beautiful. The Gulf lapping at the shore in the background. No fuss, no distractions—just two people deeply in love, saying their vows standing hand in hand at the beach.

What stood out most was how intentional the entire weekend felt. Destination weddings have this way of pulling everyone out of their day-to-day and into the present moment. And for Brittany and Matt, that meant soaking in every second of their celebration—not just the “I do,” but everything around it.
