What a great shoot! Good weather, no wind and a cute family…… perfect!

Shelly & Chad- Casa Ybel Resort, Sanibel Island
It seems that we have had a run of weddings at Casa Ybel recently, none finer than Shelly and Chad’s wedding last Saturday! After getting ready at The Sanibel Inn, the festivities moved to Casa Ybel Resort. The wedding took place between the twin palms at the west end of the property. The reception was held in a tent on the lawn in front of the Thistle Lodge. The weather was great, the setting was perfect and both sets of families were super nice. Top that with a great couple and weddings don’t get any better than that!


Alexis & Matt, South Seas Island Resort – Captiva Island
I had the good fortune to photograph Alexis and Matt’s wedding at South Seas Island Resort last night.
Super cool couple, Matt was a college football player in Iowa, hence the size of the groomsmen!
Boy was it windy, but we had fun and got some great shots, even though the girls were shivering a little:)










- Now thats chocolate!




Gretchen – Senior Portrait at the Lighthouse beach, Sanibel Island
I met Gretchen at the lighthouse beach a couple of nights ago to take her senior portraits. Super nice family from Minnesota and long time visitors of the Islands. Learnt a little about snowmobiling and the Canadian wilderness from Gretchen’s dad, Robert. Sounds awesome!


Courtney & Troy’s Wedding – Casa Ybel Resort, Sanibel Island
I was fortunate enough to photograph Courtney and Troy’s wedding this last weekend at Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island. Troy (Merritt) is a rookie on the PGA tour. He was taking practice swings with an imaginary club just before he was about to go down the aisle! Maybe that’s why he won Q school last year. Nerves of steel. He must be one of the only guys that swings a golf club and it relaxes him!
Courtney was fun to work with and a really sweet girl. What an exciting future they have ahead of them! I wish you both all the best.
And you have a new fan Troy. I am a big golf fan and a player so I will be paying close attention to the PGA this year.
Have a great honeymoon and good luck at West Palm next week!
