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.

Wedding Photography from the Sundial Resort and The Dunes Sanibel Island

March 27, 2010 – 5:45 pm

Anne and Matt’s wedding photography from Sundial Beach & Golf Resort on Sanibel Island, with their reception at the The Dunes Golf Resort, also on Sanibel Island.

To say, as photographers, we’ve been blessed with good weather for our wedding photography would be an understatement. We’ve only had one wedding that had to move to an alternate inside location because of rain. However, we thought Anne and Matt were going to be the second Bride and Groom to have a rain out. It was raining all morning, but, as if it was planned, about an hour before the wedding, the sun came out!

Perhaps part one of the reasons the Sundial Resort was voted “Best of The Knot Weddings in 2010″ was due to how flexible their staff was. The Pear Whelk Beach wedding ceremony location was not set up due to the rain but, the Sundial Resort (with the help of some guests) quickly had everything in place, just in time!

The Sundial Beach & Golf Resort is located at 1451 Middle Gulf Drive, Sanibel Island, Florida 33957.

While The Dunes has an 18-hole championship golf course, the focus this night was on Anne and Matt’s wedding reception in the Rassa restaurant. It was clear to this photographer that all their friends and family had a great time from the wedding dance to the cake cutting. And their cake didn’t just look good — it was delicious! We usually stick to the photography and don’t have cake, but when we heard it was from Mason’s Bakery we couldn’t resist!

The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club is located at 949 Sand Castle Road, Sanibel Island, Florida 33957.

Are you planing a destination wedding at the Sundial Beach & Golf Resort, The Dunes or any of the great venues on Sanibel Island? Contact Erin of Leap Year Photography to capture your special day on Captiva or Sanibel! Erin’s been providing professional wedding photography on the island for years and will help make it a wedding to remember.

Naples Photographer Ashley and Josh’s Engagement on 5th Avenue!

January 17, 2010 – 9:42 am

5th Avenue in Naples is a great spot for an engagement photography session! One of the things I look for as a photographer is a location that has lots of texture and background changes in one area. Fifth Avenue has buildings with old bricks, unique photographic backdrops down each side street, a fun park and with the beach just at the end of the street, photographers really couldn’t ask for more.

Enough about the location of our photo-shoot, a photographer can’t get engagement photographs without fantastic clients like Ashley and Josh to take pictures of! They were great to work with, open to any type of photos we wanted to take and Erin finally was able to use a setting she had been thinking about for a long time — an e-session at the Ice Cream shop!
