E-shoot location: Ringling?

Bre2Be · July 2010

So, my FI and I are getting married in 2 months and we have yet to take our E pics. I've been putting it off primarily because 1) I wanted to lose some weight (I've lost 20 lbs since Feb! YAY!) and 2) It's so stinkin' HOT out and I didn't want all the pics to look a hot mess.

Now we're trying to figure out a cool place to take some pics. I don't really want anything "beachy". We're looking for a place with some cool architecture and some nice natural elements. My dad suggested the Ringling property in Sarasota. I've never been there, but I looked online and it's beautiful! Q: Anyone know if there's an admission charge or is it only if you go inside the museum?

We'd just be looking to take some pics outside. Also, any other suggestions in the Tampa/SP area are welcome!Thx J

Ringling in Sarasota: You have to pay the admission charge to enter the grounds for anything. But it is BEAUTIFUL.

Might also consider University of Tampa campus - it meets your criteria for cool archetecture and nice natural elements being that it is right against the river.

If you want to go "historical/oldschool" - you could visit Heritage Village in Largo. it's a collection of Victorian houses that have been saved and moved onto this park property. Also there: a one-room schoolhouse, a chapel, and a bandstand. This website has a photo of each building so you can look and see if you would be interested:

If you want to take a bit of a road trip:
Florida Southern College in Lakeland is the world's largest collection of buildings designed by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright - would be cool architecture.

And there is a B&B in Gainesville that looks very different:

The Ringling is beautiful however there is a charge to take pictures there and I believe its a couple of hundred dollars. We are thinking of doing downtown Sarasota .
