Ashley & Brad – South Seas Island Resort

Captiva Wedding Photography

Captiva wedding photography is always a creative mix of stunning scenery and the joys of a union. Ashley and Brad’s wedding was no different. The wedding took place at the beautiful South Seas Island Resort located at the most northerly tip of Captiva Island. Ashley and Brad have known each other since middle school. They recently made the ultimate commitment and tied the knot. They chose the stunning lawn area of the Kings Crown Lawn as their ceremony location. A great choice if I may say so myself:) The lawn overlooks Pine Island Sound or the back bay as it is locally known. The views are stunning. You are also relatively protected from the coastal breeze. Its a great place to get married because it is secluded and convenient. There is a bridal room that is located just off the lawn area. It has large panes of glass that let in ample light for those perfect ‘getting ready” shots. A few short steps takes you out onto the lawn to your ceremony site. After the ceremony you can take pictures with your guests and family right there just as Ashley and Brad did. You then have the option of using the pier and the lush tropical greenery for the all important bride and groom portraits.

Ashley and Brad decided to also go to the beach at sunset with the wedding party, while the guests stayed behind and enjoyed delicious hors d’oeuvres and cocktails prepared by the talented culinary staff at South Seas Island Resort. Rhonda Decherd, one of the talented wedding planning staff at South Seas Island Resort organized an open top trolly to pick up Ashley, Brad and 16 of their closest friends to take them to the secluded Sunset Cove. Check out the pictures below… you will see why:) After sunset they headed back to the Kings Crown for the reception. The rest is history!

What a great couple and a what a great, fun, group of people. I wish them all the happiness for the future and thanks to them for making Captiva wedding photography such a joy and an honor to me!

New Wedding Wire Review!

March 16, 2015 admin Leave a comment

Nothing makes our day like reading a great review from a client. Thank you James for the wonderful testimonial! It was a pleasure being a part of your big day!

“Nick and his assistant Lori were unbelievable. First, the quality of the photos was amazing – we couldn’t be happier. There are so many good shots, and the overall quality is much higher than I’ve seen for other weddings. For the photo session following the wedding, I got the feeling that Nick and Lori knew exactly what they were doing. They catered to all of our requests, taking pictures of my wife and I with countless combinations of family and friends. They were quick, efficient, and professional, all without making us feel rushed. They also got a bunch of great action shots at the reception. Within minutes of the ceremony finishing, they had already assembled a slide show in the reception area that showed photos from the ceremony. The mobile app that they offer is awesome. Just a few days after the wedding, we received a link to download a personalized app that included highlight photos from the wedding day. It was super easy to send this along to family and friends back home who were begging to see photos. We received the digital copies of the images in the mail a few weeks after the wedding. Nick also threw in a beautiful printed photo of my wife and I (which was not part of the package that we ordered). That was a very nice touch. All in all, we had a great experience with Nick and Lori, and we would recommend them to anyone in the Sanibel/Captiva area.”

Leticia & Scott’s Wedding – South Seas Island Resort, Captiva

February 2, 2015 admin Leave a comment

Scott and Leticia wed at South Seas Island Resort in a beautiful ceremony on the Kings Crown Lawn. Scott and Leticia met on harmony and really enjoyed being together. First date was a breakfast cafe, second was a dueling piano bar, third was a botanical garden, and the fourth was a winery/vineyard. After that, Leticia had Scott mesmerized. They got engaged on Oct 11 on the beach in Frankfort MI under the moon, after eating fresh lake fish and local wine at a bistro. To Leticia’s dismay, Scott did not include her in selecting the ring. After seeing her super wide smile, Scott did more than alright.
