The Island banquet room is a favorite at Sanibel Harbour because more than half of the room consists of ceiling to floor windows that overlook the Gulf of Mexico with a beautiful sunset view.

During the wedding Laura and Brett had a sand ceremony. The sand ceremony often replaces the unity candle for beach weddings because it has the same symbolization, but you don’t have to worrry about the flame getting blown out!

One of the unique things that Laura and Brett had as part of the wedding day include special linen bins for the guests to put their shoes in and exchange for sandals before heading out to the beach ceremony.

At their reception, Laura and Brett had a special plate for everyone to sign as their “guest book.”

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!

Grandezza Country Club

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

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.
