You would think as a Fort Myers and Bonita Springs Photographer in business for over six years I would have been to this fantastic Bonita Springs location before. However, this was the first time I’ve photographed at this spot in Bonita Springs Florida for Jenna and Derek’s engagement photography. One of the key things I look for in an e-session (Engagement Photo session) is a place with many photographer friendly backdrops in a very short walking distance and this Bonita location has it all from a beautiful creek, cool red bridge, banyan trees, train tracks and wooded paths! I’m not going to provide the location name for other photographers (although its not too hard to find), but you can bet we’ll be back with future engaged couples from the Bonita Springs and the Naples area for additional engagement photo shoots.
OK, enough about the location, with out further delay, here are a few of our favorite moments from Jenna and Derek’s session. While we will not be flying out to providing their wedding photography, I’m sure they will have a blast on 11-11-2011!!

The Downtown Fort Myers Florida River District is such a great spot for wedding photography! Numerous historic venues like the Burroughs Home, Heitman House, Edison and Ford estates and The Veranda are all great wedding locations. Plus, with the new Hotel Indigo, there’s plenty of room for out of town guests to stay in the heart of the city.
Ania and Matt had an intimate destination wedding in Downtown Ft. Myers. So intimate, we did not meet up with them until we photographed their nuptial celebration on Sanibel Island! Leap Year Photography is blessed to take part in all kinds of weddings — big celebrations with hundreds of guests, to small affairs, like Ania and Matt’s, where it’s just the Bride, Groom and the Sanibel beach. We weren’t sure that we wouldn’t be rained out, but I think you’ll see from the photos below, it was very picturesque day – having great subjects didn’t hurt either!
Are you having your wedding in Downtown Fort Myers or on Sanible Island? Contact Leap Year Photography to cover your wedding day.
As a Fort Myers Photographer I’m frequently asked what my favorite venues are for weddings in the Ft Myers area. The Pink Shell Beach Resort and Spa certainly is on the top of my list! The Pink Shell’s beach location provides a very picturesque wedding setting all photographers would love. Not only that, they have fantastic staff and other amenities that make it a great location for a destination wedding. As a Bride you’ll appreciate that the Pink Shell has a dedicated coordinator, like Dony Bruder, for every wedding. We especially liked that Dony coordinated in a ‘photography mindful’ way as well, checking in with us on the time-line of the day frequently.
Without further adieu, some of our favorite photos from Rachel and Adam’s Wedding:
The Pink Shell Resort and Spa is located at 275 Estero Boulevard, Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931.

Lovers Key State Park Engagement Photography – Fort Myers Beach Check List!
- Certainly, before any engagement photography is to take place, you need a great to-be-wed couple like Karen and Zach.
- The Lovers Key Beach is a fantastic location, but you do need a not-rainy day, so check the forecast.
- The right time of day! Timing is everything… If you want great beach engagement or wedding photography don’t plan on starting at high noon! Early in the morning or close to sunset are the best times. Plus, it’s just more comfortable – if you’re relaxed it shows in your pictures.
- Speaking of comfortable, you’ll want a photographer you’re comfortable with, one with who lets you be yourself and lets your love show in your photos. Shameless plug, but, who better than Fort Myers Beach Photographer Erin Wilson of Leap Year Photography for your engagement session?
- And the most important item on our check list — DEEP WOODS OFF or the like, but it should contain the highest percentage of DEET you are comfortable with. Remember that this is the beach in Florida and, depending on the time of year, it can be buggy, but with a little preparation, you can stack the deck in your favor and have a fun e-session with images that will last a lifetime.
