Ron + Meghan = Amazing Edison & Ford Winter Estates Wedding, Fort Myers, FL

On this perfect day Ron & Meghan exchanged vows along the bank of the beautiful Caloosahatchee River on Ford's Lawn. Ron & Meghan LOVE Disney so their fairy tale began with Ron's romantic proposal in Cinderella's Castle and there were some very Disney touches throughout their magical day!

But before they said I do they met in Mina's Garden to share a private moment together in what is lovingly called the "First Glimpse" Meghan was so excited and Ron a bit nervous as he waited for Meghan's arrival. When she tapped him gently on the shoulder and he turned around to see his beautiful princess the love they shared was so magical. We took a few pictures in the garden while the two shared a few whispered I love you's and lot's of hugs and kisses and then Meghan and Ron were whisked away to take their places before the ceremony.
 Ron joined his family and all of the gentlemen on Ford's Lawn while Meghan freshened up with the girls before being escorted off with her grandfather to the Model T Ford that would bring her to her ceremony. It was a magical ceremony and all of the personal touches were lovely. After the ceremony the bride and Groom were whisked away in their Model T to join their friends and family at the Edison were the magic continued during their reception. Princess Meghan even had a special waltz with her handsome prince Ron after the cake cutting ceremony! And speaking of cake their was even a hidden Micky Mouse in the decoration! 

Thank you so much Ron & Meghan it was such fun spending your day with you!

Fort Myers Wedding Photographer - Edison & Ford Winter Estates Wedding - Katrina & Kevin

(Beautiful Sunset at the Holiday Inn Airport At Town Center)

I didn't meet Kevin or Katrina until the day of their wedding and we all met at the Holiday Inn Fort Myers Airport at Town Center where they would later celebrate in style with their family and close friends at their super fun reception. They traveled from Jacksonville, NC to be married under the Mysore Fig Tree at the   Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, FL.
Kevin was so handsome in his Marines Uniform it was easy to see why Katrina was head over heels for him and Kevin couldn't keep his eyes off off his beautiful bride from the moment he first saw her coming  across the lawn with her father. Their wedding was an intimate affair with just close friends and family who traveled to Fort Myers to celebrate with the Kevin & Katrina. Wayne from Beautiful Wedding Ceremonies performed a heart felt ceremony for the happy couple.
After the family and bridal party all left for the cocktail hour Tori Lawless escorted all of us around the estates property for some truly wonderful photos of  Kevin & Katrina. Kevin will be shipping out soon and they will have the photo's and video of their wedding day to keep them close.
Enjoy their wedding video


Their wedding will forever be dear to me as my youngest son has just recently joined the United States Marines and just like Kevin he will serve and protect our great country and all of the freedoms that we as Americans hold dear.
We don't have many opportunities to personally thank the men and women who serve and protect our country and our families…with that said I do proudly give a 25% discount to all Military family's for their photography services and I am honored to have been selected to play a small part in the lives of Kevin & Katrina and to the many soldiers and those who wait for them at home.

LaBelle FL Photographer - LaBelle High School Class of 1981!

It was such fun seeing the LaBelle High School Class of 1981 at their reunion at Forrey Grill.... so sorry I couldn't make it Saturday night to Fort Myers Beach with all of you! I remember so many of them from when I was just a Freshman at LHS in LaBelle FL!!!! Yikes!!!! Many were my hero's and I wanted to be just like them! I wanted be a cheerleader like (YOU know who you all were) And I finally did and it was such fun! I wanted to sing like the girls in the chorus so I joined my Sophomore year. I wanted to work on the yearbook just like Shelly so I joined the yearbook staff. Yes, my freshman year I believe I must have joined just about every club they would let me into! They were the cool guys and gals at the school and when your a freshman they are who you look up to. And, they haven't let any of us down. They have become leaders not only in their hometown but in towns all over the USA. They are like the stars in the sky and will shall shine even after they are gone.  George Bernard Shaw said it best when he said, "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." The Class of 1981 has done just that! Hope to see you all in 5 years!!!!  Jerri Lynn
