Sara and Daniel were married on February 16, 2008 at Sanibel Harbour Resort and Spa located just before the Sanibel Island causeway. Sanibel Harbour Resort and Spa always provides a beautiful wedding experience for their brides and grooms. 

Sanibel Harbour Resort has many lovely locations for formal photographs of the wedding party. Their large beautiful rooms allow us plenty of room and ideas for photographs of the wedding party getting ready and their outdoor property has the lovely beach, a long boat dock, a large balcony overlooking the pool, and tons of palm trees!

As you can see in these pictures, Sanibel Harbour’s beach, which is surrounded by palm trees and other large plants, provides a quiet, intimate ceremony.

In addition to a delicious seashell cake, Sara and Daniel also offered chocolate fondue with a variety of fruit and desserts for dipping.

Since the couple was from such a cold state like Massachusetts, formal pictures outside, especially on the beach, were very important to her!

     Here are some of our other favorite images from the evening…

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.
