Nicole and Shawn were married on May 31, 2008 at the Grandezza Country Club located in Estero, Florida.

Here are some of our favorite getting ready photos…

For the ceremony, they had these cute fans set on each chair.

Grandezza has beautiful spots for pictures. This spot had great palm trees in the background.

At the reception, Nicole and Eric had chocolate covered pretzels as well as little photo albums as party favors for each of their guests!

Their cake was lovely…but check out their groom’s cake!

Here’s a great picture of the bride and groom during their first dance.

The Grandezza Country Club, located in Estero, Florida, continues to be one of our favorite venues for photographing weddings. The staff are excellent to work with, the weddings are beautiful, and the bride and groom usually do something unique.

Nicole and Eric’s wedding in February was no exception. For starters, Nicole had initials and wedding date embroidered on the inside of her wedding gown.

The garden ceremony was beautiful as usual of course. This shot was taken with our new Nikon 70-200 mm f2.8 VR lens! It has exceptional sharpness and takes amazing pictures!

The colors and flowers chosen were a great choice. They made beautiful table decor and fit nicely in the banquet room.  We used our Nikon 50 mm f1.4 for this shot. This is such a fun lens to use! It focuses on the foreground and blurs the background so wonderfully!

Instead of a wedding cake, Nicole and Eric had individual cupcakes with a ‘W’ for their last name on each one.

 To finish the evening, Nicole and Eric wanted to take some final pictures of them inside Grandezza. This Goodnight Kiss was a great finale to the evening.  

Shea and Jordan’s wedding was a beautiful Christmas wedding that took place at the Grandezza Country Club in Estero, Florida on December 3. The ceremony took place outside in Grandezza’s lovely garden and the reception was held indoors in the ballroom. Everything was decorated elegantly with red roses.  Florida is a great place for destination weddings because of the weather!
