Edison & Ford Winter Estates Wedding Photography Fort Myers

Erin — Tue, 15 May 2012 23:17:20 +0000

The Edison & Ford Winter Estates is a timeless venue for wedding photography in Fort Myers. There’s something so simple, yet elegant, about the romantic gardens, beautiful Caloosahatchee River views, the historic Edison Ford homes and numerous outdoor wedding ceremony locations. It’s one of the few venues that is able to transport you to a time in Fort Myers’ historic past and Olde Florida. To a time when the photograph and the phonograph were the latest technologies.

With the exception of the Caretaker’s House, we walked (and rode in a golf cart) to just about every location the Edison and Ford Winter Estates had to offer. All of these locations including: Mina’s Moonlight Garden, Edison’s Coconut Grove, Ford’s Riverside Lawn, and Royal Palm Alleé, make for wonderful wedding photographs. While we frequently see the bride and groom head directly to the central Mysore Fig Tree as their photographic wedding backdrop, we took Brittany and Ryan to giant Fig tree nestled in Edison’s Garden as you’ll see in the photos below.

Located at 2350 McGregor Boulevard Fort Myers, FL 33901, the Edison & Ford Winter Estates offers acres of historical buildings, historic gardens, the Edison Botanic Research Lab and the Edison Ford Museum. However, nothing is more memorable than your own wedding at the site.

Will you be getting married at the Edison & Ford homes? Using classic wedding photography, contemporary and photojournalism, Leap Year Photography will capture your wedding in Style!

As a Wedding Photographer, my focus is to create wedding photos that show what words might not be able to say. Yet, as Ft. Myers photographers in an online world, you sometimes have to say more – unless one of our Brides referred you to us. So here are the key details: Sabrina and Billy’s wedding was on Ft. Myers Beach at the Pink Shell Resort. I hope the photos say the rest…

Fort Myers Wedding Photographers at Lovers Key State Park

Erin — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 14:44:10 +0000

While there are many Wedding Photographers photographing on Fort Myers Beach on any given weekend, there can be only one wedding at Lovers Key State Park. I guess that’s what makes weddings at the Lovers Key Beach so unique — it feels like you, your guests and an entire secluded beach of your own, yet, with the large beach gazebo, you can have your wedding cake and eat it too! I’m not sure what the exact size of the gazebo is, but there is enough room for over 50 guests, a dance floor, and your band or DJ, letting you move from ceremony on the beach to reception in style all in one great spot. The full bar is located just outside.

It was a pleasure providing photography for, not only, Karen and Zach’s destination wedding, but their South Florida destination engagement photos about a year prior to their big day as well.

Leap Year Photography provides professional wedding photography at Lovers Key State Park and Fort Myers Beach. Contact Leap Year Photography’s photographer Erin Wilson for your destination wedding photos. Erin will capture your day in a photography style that is unique to you.

DiamondHead Beach Resort Wedding Photography Ft Myers Beach

Erin — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 11:12:41 +0000

DiamondHead Beach Resort Wedding Photography on Ft Myers Beach! One of the great things about being a Fort Myers area photographer is that you can photograph destination weddings, as we’ve done, for years and still come across a venue that you’ve not been to before. This was the case in photographing Katie and Michael’s wedding at the DiamondHead Beach Resort. Fort Myers Beach is a great place for a wedding, but it’s also a place where MANY people come to relax in the sun and enjoy local attractions. Having your destination wedding at a South Florida beach resort makes it easy for your guests to enjoy your special day without the worry of finding parking or getting towed. Also, once the wedding festivities wind down, it’s nice to know that the only ride your guests will take is on the elevator, up to their room.

The DiamondHead Beach Resort is located at 2000 Estero Boulevard, Fort Myers Beach, Florida.

South Seas Resort Wedding Photographers on Captiva Island

Erin — Sat, 28 May 2011 17:29:33 +0000

Wedding Photographers shooting at South Seas Resort on Captiva Island, Florida can expect only one thing in common between the various weddings they photograph — it’s, more than likely, going to be a destination wedding. This is where the commonality ends. South Seas Resort weddings can be large formal events at the Captiva Ballroom, President’s Room, or the Sea Pearl Room next to the Butterfly Garden, or an intimate ceremony on Sunset Beach or King’s Crown Lawn. Another fantastic Captiva Island destination wedding location is ‘Tween Waters, where we’ve photographed many times.

Our Bride and Groom, Tamra and Steve, choose a small wedding ceremony near Sunset Beach on Captiva Island. While we could not see the sunset on this particular evening, the stunning Altocumulus Billow clouds made for a great photographic back drop. Yes, I did look up the type of cloud!!

If you are looking for a unique wedding idea, check out the photo of this Bride’s non-traditional, bead bouquet as an alternative to traditional flowers. This bouquet, like the wedding photos, will last forever.

With Leap Year Photography it’s easy to get professional Captiva Island Wedding photography at great rates. Contact Captiva photographer Erin Wilson now to discuss your wedding needs. Get in touch with your Captiva Wedding Photographers!

South Florida Wedding Photographer on Fort Myers Beach

Erin — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 15:07:54 +0000

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good… As South Florida Wedding Photographer much of our photography is dependent on good light. Certainly photographers can add light with a flash, but nothing can compare to when we receive a sunset that gives us a glimpse of what it must have looked like on the first day. While Florida does have great sunshine, it’s not too frequently that the clouds and the sun are as amazing as it was for Lisa and Matt’s destination wedding photos at the Pink Shell Resort on Fort Myers beach.

No one can guarantee wedding photography that includes a sunset like this, but there are a few things you do to help give you the best chance of getting great images:

Work out with your photographer the timing of your wedding ceremony so that your vows are complete at least one hour before sunset.
During your wedding rehearsal identify someone who can guide family and friends to your reception as quickly as possible. This way, the bride and groom can focus on each other and your photographer can focus on capturing great moments in the best light of the day.
“Just be” – your guests are now at the reception, the anticipation of the ceremony complete, it’s time to enjoy the moment! This may sound obvious, but photos capture your emotions and however you’re feeling will be represented in your wedding photos. “Just be”…

Is South Florida Wedding photography in your future? Will your wedding be on Fort Myers Beach or the Pink Shell Resort? If so, contact South Florida Wedding Photographer Erin Wilson of Leap Year Photography to capture your day in the light! Erin has been providing professional photography in South Florida for years. Leap Year Photography is located at 4600 Summerlin Rd Suite C2 #580, Fort Myers, Florida 33919.

South Florida Photographers – Trash the Dress

Erin — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 12:35:49 +0000

Being South Florida Photographers, it’s no surprise that this Rock the Frock A.K.A. Trash the Dress (TTD) photo shoot is at the beach. However, when looking for Trash the Dress ideas and inspiration I found the real question most of your are thinking is will the dress actually get trashed?

Here in Southwest Florida, this type of photography is still somewhat of an unknown. Many brides have the initial impression that it is literally about getting a photo of “trashing” the dress. The reality is that it’s whatever the Bride and/or Groom want it to be. The only requirements are you, your photographer and the wedding apparel. The location can be at the beach, downtown in a more urban setting or wherever you like. And lastly, no, you don’t even have to get the wedding dress dirty or wet! Just like all of our Photography at Leap Year Photography, this type of photo session is all about what, you, the client wants as the final image.

Tamara’s TTD session was a nice change from all the South Florida wedding photography we’ve been doing. The photo shoot was very laid back, Tamara was super easy to work with and hopefully the photos show we had all had a great time. You’ll just have to decide for yourself if the dress did in fact get trashed…

Are you planing a destination wedding in South Florida? Have you been thinking about a Rock the Frock or Trash the Dress (TTD) photo shoot? If so, contact Erin of Leap Year Photography to capture your day in style! Erin provides professional photography in South Florida. Leap Year Photography is located at 4600 Summerlin Rd Suite C2 #580, Fort Myers, Florida 33919.

Engagement Photos Fort Myers by Leap Year Photography

Erin — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 21:03:52 +0000

If you are looking for engagement photo ideas in Lee County Florida, there’s no better spot than in Downtown Fort Myers! The scenery and backdrops are perfect for engagement photography whether it is winter, spring or fall.

As you can imagine, being a professional Fort Myers photographer, I get many phone calls around Valentine’s Day for engagement photos sessions (e-sessions for short). I thought sharing Michelle and Alan’s engagement photos would be perfect to mark the occasion.

We photograph all over Florida and do many beach sessions, but I have to admit, my favorite location is Downtown Fort Myers!

Fort Myers engagement photographer Erin Wilson provides engagement photo sessions in Downtown Ft Myers and all of Florida. Contact Erin to set up your engagement photo session! She can provide unique engagement photo ideas to fit your style. If you are in need of a Fort Myers Engagement Photographer then contact Erin of Leap Year Photography today.

Ft Myers Beach Wedding Photographers – Pink Shell Resort

Erin — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 22:31:37 +0000

It’s not often that you can say you were the wedding photographer for a grand slam wedding, but we were fortunate enough to photograph the wedding of Erik and Tina, at Pink Shell on Fort Myers Beach. I call it a ‘grand slam’ not only due to the fact that Erik is Erik Lis of the Minnesota Twins, but because everything from the beautiful bride, handsome groom, bridal bouquets, marriage ceremony on the beach and reception to follow went just right.
