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.

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.
