After more than a decade behind the lens, we’re excited to share some bittersweet news—Mark and Allison are officially retiring.
Our journey began in 2014 in Austin, Texas, where we first launched our photography business with a passion for capturing meaningful moments. Four years later, we moved to Southwest Florida, where our business continued to grow in ways we could have only dreamed of. Moving to the beach and creating sunset photo session every night was an adventure we never saw coming.
Along the way, we expanded our services to include All-Inclusive Beach Weddings and Intimate Elopements, helping couples celebrate love in some of life’s most beautiful and personal settings. Living and working on the beach in Clearwater, Florida was the most exceptional career we could have ever imagined.
Later, we decided to move a little further out to a golf course community and play more golf.
To all of our incredible clients, friends, and supporters—thank you for trusting us with your memories and being part of our story. This chapter has meant the world to us, and we carry these moments forward with immense gratitude.
We changed the name of our FB Business Page to Gold Sun Adventures-as the adventures begin. We will be keeping our website- www.goldsunstudios.com for a year so our clients can easily access their photo galleries.
With love,
Mark & Allison
