Naples Wedding Photography Leap Year Photo at Bellasera Hotel

October 25, 2010 – 10:35 pm

Naples Wedding Photography by Leap Year Photography at Bellasera Hotel! It was a pleasure being Tom and Natasha’s Naples wedding photographers. The weather for weddings in Southwest Florida is perfect this time of year and could not have been any nicer.

Bellasera Hotel is a great wedding venue in Old Naples and within walking distance of historic 5th Avenue South. As a wedding photographer I love having variety in the images we capture. Bellasera’s breathtaking lobby with the spiral staircase and velvet seating added such a dramatic backdrop for our beautiful Bride and Groom, Natasha and Tom.

OK, yes, I admit it, I do watch all the weddings shows like: Cake Boss, Ace of Cakes, Food Network Challenge, and Say YES to the Dress (the original, based in NY, is the best one by far, IMHO), so when I heard that Food Network’s Cake Challenge silver medal winner Karen M. Vazquez, of Naples’ Kakes by Karen, was baking our Bride and Groom’s cake, I was excited! And as you can tell by the wedding cake photo below, it was beautiful!

Bellasera Hotel is located at 221 Ninth Street South, Naples, FL 34102.

Fort Myers Wedding Photographer – Burroughs Home Weddings

October 10, 2010 – 3:59 pm

As a Fort Myers Wedding Photographer who actually lives in the heart of Ft Myers, I love wedding venues like the Burroughs Home and Gardens that provide a glimpse into Fort Myers’ historic past. If you know Scott and I, you know this is not just some fluff for our wedding photography blog. We actually live in an old historic home, not too far from the Burroughs. Old homes like this not only provide beautiful grounds for your wedding ceremony and the photos that follow, but your wedding reception just feels more intimate, more like it’s a gathering of family and friends held at home — with none of the day after clean up.  :)

Janine and Kurt’s wedding ceremony took place under the picturesque live oaks on the waterfront of the Caloosahatchee River. While I’ve photographed many weddings where there was no seating provided, this one was one of a few where the seating wasn’t used at all — they had a standing ovation for the entire ceremony!  And why not? Janine and Kurt were a great bride and groom deserving of celebration on their fantastic wedding day.

The wedding  reception took place inside the Burroughs home with the wedding dance on the giant outdoor porch. Peacock feathers were the thematic element used in the brides bouquet and hair, centerpieces, and was carried through to their beautiful wedding cake too, as seen below.

The Burroughs Home is located at 2505 1st St, Fort Myers, FL 33901

Will you be getting married at the Burroughs home? Using classic wedding photography, contemporary and photojournalism, Fort Myers Wedding Photographer Erin Wilson will capture your wedding in Style!

Colonial Country Club Wedding – Fort Myers Photographers – Leap Year Photography

September 19, 2010 – 10:01 am

Leap Year Photography’s Fort Myers Photographers have provided southwest Florida wedding photography for over 6 years. However, this is the first time we’ve had the pleasure of providing wedding photography at Colonial Country Club in Fort Myers.  Wedding Photographers in Ft Myers have so many great venues to work with, typically the only thing between you and great wedding photos is a professional photographer and the weather! Thankfully the Bride and Groom, Lorraine and Jay,  had perfect weather for their wedding ceremony and reception — And I think they received some great photos as well!

Wedding Receptions at Colonial Country Club, 9181 independence way, Fort Myers, FL 33913

Leap Year Photography photographed the Bride and Groom for about 8 hours. They received 800 images covering the Bride and Groom getting ready, wedding nuptials, alone time photos of the newlyweds, the first wedding dance, wedding cake cutting and all of their wedding guests. Using classic wedding photography, contemporary wedding photography, and wedding photojournalism the Bride and Groom’s style really shows! Are you having a wedding at the Colonial Country Club?

Boca Grande Wedding Photographer on Gasparilla Island

August 15, 2010 – 6:21 pm

Have you been to Boca Grande? Let us take you there with some of our Boca Grande Wedding Photography on Gasparilla Island.

I’m certain that some photographers like the consistency of the same venue week after week, however, this photographer loves the variety of locations Lee County Florida provides for destination weddings.  Boca Grande certainly is a great location for wedding photography!  From the moment we arrived on Gasparilla Island, we could tell, with the many photographic qualities, this was the perfect place for a getaway wedding in Southwest Florida.

Boca Grande is on the Gulf of Mexico, about 60 miles from Fort Myers.  It was about an hour and a half drive — by car.  If you’re fortunate enough to have a boat, the ride would probably be about 30 to 45 minutes from Captiva Island.  Our drive took us from Lee County, into Charlotte County, and then back into Lee.

In many respects, Boca Grande is reminiscent of  Olde Florida.  The giant trees on Banyan Street provide a canopy which begs you to walk under them, there’s a picture-perfect, old lighthouse at Gasparilla Island State Park, a stay at the historic Gasparilla Inn located at 500 Palm Ave, Boca Grande, FL 33921  (operating since 1913), and beautiful white beaches with true-blue waters from which to watch unbelievable sunsets — sounds like a perfect place for a perfect destination wedding to me!

There are too many other Boca locations to list, but if you looking for a great place for your wedding portraits, Sam Murphy Park should not be missed. Photography at this little hidden gem, whether on the shaded grass or by the babbling fountain, will give your Boca Grande wedding photographer lots of options. Some of Ashten and Nathaniel’s wedding photos below were taken at Sam Murphy Park.  They are a truly lovely couple whom I wish a long, happy, love-filled life together.  Enjoy!

If you are going to hold your Boca Grande wedding ceremony anywhere on Gasparilla Island, contact Leap Year Photography . Erin Wilson will provide your Boca Grande wedding photography in a way that focuses on your style. You’ll have your wedding day captured with images that just may look a little more vivid than you remembered it! Leap Year Photography is located at 4600 Summerlin Rd Suite C2 #580, Fort Myers, Florida 33919.
