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!
