Engagement Photos Fort Myers by Leap Year Photography

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

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.

Wedding Score Card

  • Fort Myers Beach Wedding Photography provided by Leap Year Photography – (we’ll let you decide – photos below)
  • Wedding officiant-  Dr. Dan Lamey (239) 272-2947 – We’ve covered numerous weddings with Dr. Dan and as expected, he performed a lovely ceremony.
  • Wedding Cake or should I say Wedding Cupcake-cakes – Kakes by Karen – Delicious (Amaretto – yum!)

Naples Wedding Photography Leap Year Photo at Bellasera Hotel

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

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!
