Downtown Fort Myers Wedding – Photography on Sanibel Beach

June 11, 2010 – 12:53 pm

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!

Pink Shell Resort Fort Myers Beach Weddings

May 31, 2010 – 9:07 am

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.

Having your wedding at the Pink Shell? Contact Leap Year Photography to photograph your wedding day. Leap Year Photography’s Fort Myers Photographer Erin Wilson can provide all of your Wedding Photography needs!

Lovers Key State Park Engagement Photography Check List!

May 15, 2010 – 11:44 am

Lovers Key State Park Engagement Photography – Fort Myers Beach Check List!

  1. Certainly, before any engagement photography is to take place, you need a great to-be-wed couple like Karen and Zach.
  2. The Lovers Key Beach is a fantastic location, but you do need a not-rainy day, so check the forecast.
  3. 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.
  4. 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?
  5. 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.

We’ll be photographing Karen and Zach’s wedding in 2011! Leap Year Photography does Engagement and Wedding photography in Fort Myers, Sanibel Island and Captiva Island. Contact Erin for your e-session on Ft Myers Beach. Whether you live locally in Florida or you are planning a destination wedding, Erin will help make it a wedding to remember. Get in touch with Erin of Leap Year Photography!

Sanibel Island Photographer and Captiva Island Photographers at South Seas Resort

April 27, 2010 – 12:24 pm

We met the Cariveau family for a photography session during their vacation at the South Seas Resort back in March.  Being Captiva Island Photographers in the Spring time is beautiful thing! The temperature was just right with the water still cool enough to provide the perfect sea breeze to keep everyone comfortable. The breeze did present some challenges for getting photos without hair blowing all over, but that’s not unexpected for beach photography.

Above is one of my favorite photographs from their portrait session. With the two little ones in the background playing and proud parents posing in front of the fantastic Captiva Island beach view. It does not get much better than this… Clearly they are a very blessed family!

The South Seas Resort is just past some of Captiva Island’s famous restaurants, The Mucky Duck, The Bubble Room and The Mad Hatter! Many visitors from off-island come just for the restaurants, but the best Captiva attraction (in and out of peak season) is a leisurely stroll on the tropical peaceful beach. Captiva’s beach is like a different world compared to the party scene of Fort Myers Beach…

Are you planing a vacation in the near future at South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island? How about a destination wedding on Sanibel Island or Captiva? Contact Photographer Erin Wilson of Leap Year Photography to make it a day to remember! Erin’s been providing professional photography on the Island for years.
