Marco Beach Wedding Photography | Liz and Don’s Wedding
March 3, 2010
Marco Wedding Photography, Marco Beach Ocean Resort, Marco Island, Florida- This weekend Liz and Don were married in a sunset ceremony at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort. Their friends and family flew in for a wonderful week of activities and fun on the beach. When I arrived at the hotel I saw their schedule of the week’s activities. I was sorry I missed the welcome reception, spa day, grooms dinner, deep sea fishing adventure and farewell brunch. It sounded like a wonderful week together. The group was busy everyday with all kinds of activities on the Island and had a great time with all the activites. Liz and her two sisters, Christie and Mary and mom Pat looked beautiful and relaxed. Libby and Ellie are Liz’s nieces. They stole the show as the flowergirls. They were too cute in their matching dresses. I couldn’t get over their manicures and pedicures. They were precious. Bob Mitchell of A Beautiful Florida Wedding was the officiant. The Marco Island Florist did a fabulous job as usual with the flowers. It was cool and breezy on the beach for the ceremony but the sunset was spectacular. When Liz and her parents walked on the beach I could tell by the look in Don’s eyes how much he loves her. That is always my favorite part of the wedding when the groom looks at the bride and everyone else in nonexistant. It was a beautiful ceremony and the group had cocktails on the terrace as we went back to the beach to do some romantic sunset shots.
Liz is the last of the sisters to be married. They told me they have a family tradition that they have each had their wedding pictures done in a convertible. Liz’s parents drove the BMV convertible from South Dakota, so we did some images after dark in the circle ceremony and reception. Here is the link to the slideshow: Liz and Don’s Wedding Slideshow

Marco Wedding- Marco Beach Ocean Resort was the location for Matt and Oxana’s wedding earlier this week. It was a sunny, breezy day and everything was beautiful. Before the wedding, Matt and Oxana saw each other in private for a “First Glimpse”. This is very popular with couples today. We find a private place and I arrange to have the groom there alone with his back turned. Then I arrange for the bride to sneak up behind him and tap him on the shoulder. He turns around with great anticipation to see his gorgeous bride. In private, he can tell her how beautiful she looks and how much he loves her. They can embrace and cherish this private time alone together. During this time, I am off at a distance with a telephoto lens on my camera, capturing all the love and emotions. These moments are totally unscripted and I do not interrupt or direct. The couples love these private moments together before the ceremony. Since the groom does not see the bride approaching during the First Glimpse, when she comes down the aisle with her dad, it still seems like the first time he has seen her in her gown. Ask Doreen about arranging a “First Glimpse” before your ceremony. It only takes a few moments but you will remember the emotions forever. You will also have all of the pictures to remember the moments together. All of the couples who have experienced this moment together were very happy they did. Let us know if you have any questions about a First Glimpse before your nuptials.

Sanibel Wedding Photography | Jennifer and Cody’s Slideshow
February 12, 2010
Sanibel Wedding Photography- Last weekend I did a fashion photo shoot with Jen and Cody in their wedding attire. We started in Fort Myers, at Jen’s parents home on the river. It’s a gorgeous setting with lots of beautiful backdrops for sanibel wedding photography. Then we drove to Sanibel Island and parked down by the lighthouse. Jen and Cody are so fun to work with and are so in love. You can see it in their eyes as soon as they are together. The lighting was perfect at the end of the day and there was lots of driftwood on the beach for backdrops. The lighthouse is an easy drive from Fort Myers or any of the surrounding areas. After you travel over the bridge stop at Periwinkle and then turn left. Go straight until you reach the end of the road and you will be at the beach. It is an interesting place just to take a walk, get a tan or go shelling. The island is known for having beautiful and unique shells on all of their shores. Bicycling is also a big draw to the island. You can either bring your own bicycles or rent them when you arrive. There is lots to see and you can even pedal into Ding Darling State Park and see all the many species of tropical birds there.
Resorts near the beach are Casa Ybel, Sanibel Harbour Resort, Sundial Resort, Tween Waters Inn and South Seas Resort and Spa on Captiva Island. There wedding is in a couple of weeks at the Burroughs Home in downtown Fort Myers. Congratulations- Jen and Cody!

Sanibel Wedding Photography | Jennifer and Cody
February 8, 2010
Sanibel wedding photography- Last night I was on Sanibel Island- doing a wedding photoshoot for Jennifer and Cody. I am great friends with their families and was very disappointed when I was already booked for their wedding date. They are getting married at the Burroughs Home in downtown Fort Myers in a few weeks. It will be a great wedding and I am sorry I can’t be there to help them celebrate. They wanted some beach pictures in their wedding attire so we went over for Sanibel wedding photography down by the lighthouse. We had a great time and got tons of great images. It was very chilly and windy out. They were both troopers and did great. Their aunt Bonnie is my great friend, she was my lighting assistant for the night and kept Jennifer warm and entertained too. Here are a few images from last night. There is lots of driftwood, many mangroves, beautiful beaches and gorgeous sunsets there. If you walk around the corner there is also a fishing pier that has great views of the bridge that connects the island to Fort Myers. There are always lots of fisherman there so they must be catching lots. While you are visiting, you must go to one of the well known restaurants in the area. Many of them specialize in seafood and great views. Many people wait and watch the sunset and then go to dinner afterwards. Even from across town, when you go to Sanibel, whether to sun, to fish, to bicycle ride or just nap on the beach- you feel like you are on vacation. If you have extra time you may want to travel to Captiva, they have interesting restaurants and lots of gorgeous home to see. It’s worth the trip.

Grandezza Wedding Photography | Amy and John
November 27, 2009
Grandezza Wedding Photography- We were back at Grandezza Country Club this weekend to photograph Amy and John’s Wedding. They were married at St Raphael’s Curch in Lehigh by Father Cooney in a beautiful ceremony. Then the wedding party was taken by limousine Morgan Limousine Service to Grandezza for the reception. The grounds and interior of Grandezza is a beautiful backdrop for wedding photographs.
Amy and John’s daughter Laila was adorable in her little white dress that matched her mom’s. Laila and ring bearer Damian had everyone’s attention as they came down the aisle of the church and danced together later at the reception.
Flowers were by Bright Petals Florist and the wedding cake was by Publix. Black Tie Entertainment was the DJ for the evening and kept everyone entertained and dancing all evening. Both Amy and John were soccer players in college and love the sport. It was a surprise to John when Amy had her soccer cleats on for the garter. Here are a few images from the evening.
