Sanibel Island holds a special place in the hearts of so many, even the locals.  That is especially true for Miranda and Jacob, sweethearts who grew up in Fort Myers.  When they decided to tie the knot, they didn’t have to look much further than their own backyard for the perfect beach wedding location.  Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel was their choice for a celebration on the sand and a tented reception overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.

Pure Elegance Under the Tent { Dede + Charlie } Casa Ybel Resort – Sanibel Island

Casa-Ybel-Wedding(18)

These are some of our favorite photos, those last few moments of quiet before the whirlwind begins. The bride reflecting on the importance of this day, her husband to-be waiting for her, and all of the friends and family who have come to witness their declaration of love.

Dede and Charlie said their I Do’s a year ago on the lush green lawn at Casa Ybel and it’s one of those weddings we talk about still. The details were simple yet spectacular under the tent. Bouquets of white lilies were a stunning contrast against the bridesmaids navy dresses. Krista from Impressions Photography did an amazing job incorporating the landscape of Casa Ybel into the story of the couples wedding day, photos we’re still ooh-ing and ahh-ing over.

Danielle and Matt are Floridians – the beach is their backyard.  They chose Casa Ybel Resort for their Sanibel Island wedding for the lush lawns and water views – not for the sand.  Their nautical themed wedding put a sophisticated twist on the seaside wedding.  With the ceremony and tented reception on Casa Ybel’s grassy lawns overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, guests were treated to the very best Sanibel Island has to offer.
