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? Contact Leap Year Photography to provide photography for your wedding day. Leap Year Photography’s Fort Myers Photographers can provide all of your Wedding Photography needs!

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.

Fort Myers Maternity Photographer showing Motherhood in Style!

August 8, 2010 – 12:03 pm

Fort Myers maternity photographers usually don’t get to have this much fun! Arielle and Tanner’s pregnancy photo session was certainly not your typical maternity photo shoot in Fort Myers or Naples Florida.

All of the maternity photography shown below took place on Arielle and Tanner’s Ft Myers property. As you can see, they are blessed with a great location which has many photographic backdrops that this Fort Myers photographer loved! You can be the most experienced professional photographer in maternity art, but if you don’t have a client like Arielle who is willing to go out on a limb (or in this case get into their creek) it will be hard to produce original photography.

What is Motherhood in Style? I believe it is defined by the Fort Myers maternity photography below, shown in my artful style — Mom, the soon to be newborn, the peacefulness of the creek and trees, and the soft afternoon sun. A brief peaceful moment captured for all time (or at least until the rapture).

Now is the perfect time to hire a professional Fort Myers Maternity photographer for photos of your kids, family and children. Are you looking for a Fort Myers newborn photographer or Ft Myers Maternity photographer? Get in touch with Erin and set up your session now. Leap Year Photography is located at 4600 Summerlin Rd Suite C2 #580, Fort Myers, Florida 33919.

The historic Tween Waters’ Wakefield Room, The Old Captiva House, Sunset Lounge and Canoe & Kayak Club banquet rooms are walking distance from their picturesque beaches on the Gulf of Mexico.

Also with the nearby activities like the Sanibel – Captiva Nature Trail, J. N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge and Commodore Creek Canoe Trail your guest have everything needed to extend your wedding day to remember into a week of relaxation at a wildlife photography hot spot on Captiva Island.

Abby and Taylor’s wedding reception was held at the Canoe & Kayak Club. The ’Tween Waters Inn Island Resort is located at 15951 Captiva Drive, Captiva Island, Florida 33924. This picture was taken right after the cake cutting. To Smash Or Not To Smash? No Wedding cake smashed by this loving couple! While cake smashing sometimes makes for funny wedding photography, we’re always happy with the cake photos to end with a nice clean faced kiss.
