Helen & Michael - Fort Myers Beach Wedding

Helen & Michael began their fairy tale wedding with Lisa G. of SWFL Beach Weddings who made all of their arrangements and put together the most beautiful destination wedding for this lovely couple. The bridal party all gathered at the Fort Myers Beach Holiday Inn days before the wedding. The Holiday Inn holds special memories for the bride and her sister and was the perfect place for them to gather and prepare for this most exciting day. To the delight of Helen's granddaughter and Michael's daughters they were transported to their amazing beachfront ceremony by Cinderella Carriage provided by Charlene's Classic Carriages which took them to the Gulfview Manor Resort for their sunset beach wedding. SWFL Beach Weddings Grand Royale was the perfect setting for this princess bride.   After the ceremony the happy family were transported to Charley's Boathouse Grill for their intimate reception. 

Lisa G. is also spearheading the Wedding Event of the Century to be held on 12-12-12 at this same location. 

Port Charlotte Commitment Ceremony Photographer- Portifino Waterfront Dining – The beautiful Commitment Ceremony of Jaiye & Leslie

November 11, 2011

What’s better than one beautiful bride? Well how about two of them! I had the good fortune to photograph a commitment ceremony in Portofino’s crown jewel its Tuscany Room in Port Charlotte, FL. My friend Tina Shepherd was kind enough to invite me to photograph this special occasion with her and we had such a good time with Jaiye & Leslie and all of their fun family & friends!

About the wedding day:  Jaiye wanted everything to be perfect for Leslie even sending a stretch white limo to pick her up! And while Leslie was getting ready Jaiye and her friends were busy at the ceremony site making sure everything was perfect right down to the last detail. She even helped put their three tiered purple and white cake together!  Every detail of the ceremony was perfectly planned and executed. The vows, the food, the table settings, and especially the people all came together to create an amazing wedding. Jaiye and Leslie even wrote their own vow’s! It was really a great evening. Check out a few of their photos and their video!

These two ladies are not only beautiful, they are both completely adorable and had a great time celebrating with their family and friends!  Sue Browning DJ & Karaoke kept the party rocking (941-626-0747) and several of Leslie and Jaiye’s friends  even sang special songs for the beautiful couple and their guests





Portofino’s crown jewel is its Tuscany Room located on the uppermost floor.  The Tuscany Room is adorned with imported Italian marble and granite as well as grandiose chandelier lighting and linen table cloth & black tie service. It has a  stunning panoramic view of Charlotte Harbor.
