We love the bright coral and turquoise fabrics paired with luscious succulents and peach garden roses in Jackie and Nick’s destination beach wedding at Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island. Nick Adams Photography did an outstanding job capturing the fun-loving spirit of this Midwestern couple.

Elegant Island Wedding – Sanibel, Florida { Alexandra + John }

Image | Posted on January 29, 2015 by Admin

Written by and cross-posted from the blog of New Ground Photography.

Alexandra and John both hail from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. They met, however, in Toronto while attending university and sparks flew. They were both in other relationships but every time a school party or event would come around, they both secretly hoped the other would be there. Fast forward two years and the stars aligned. Alexandra took a friend to the bar where John was working hoping he would be there. A few free pitchers and a little flirting later, John gave Alexandra his number. They soon found out that they both loved the same music and had attended the same concerts at the same time in Ottawa. John had even played in basketball tournaments at her high school that she had watched. It was meant to be. Ten years, many years of grad school, and an entire house renovation later, John proposed to Alexandra at sunset in Key West. They quickly made plans to return to Florida, this time on Sanibel Island, for their wedding on October 5th, 2014. The wedding was wonderful in many ways. Highlights included the very short and humorous ceremony delivered by their long time friend, Jeffrey MacGregor. Others include the cheese tower that served as a wedding cake, dancing to Phil Collins “You Can’t Hurry Love” surrounded by friends and family and finally marrying their best friend.

Holiday Romance

The holidays are upon us, so today, we thought it would be perfect to share with you some seasonal inspiration from designer, Elleson Events with gorg blooms by Isn’t She Lovely Florals. We love the beach setting at Casa Ybel Resort, which is an unexpected yet perfectly serene backdrop for a winter scene. Photographer Cody Hunter captured all the lovely details, and we’re especially smitten with the invitation suite by Elizabeth Porcher Jones.

Intimate Island Wedding – Casa Ybel Resort, Sanibel Island { Julie + Kyle }

Image | Posted on January 15, 2015 by Admin

Written by Frank Simonetti and re-posted from the blog of Frank Simonetti Photography.

They arrived from PA with family and friends for their beach wedding on 1-5-15. It was a late afternoon wedding at the Casa Ybel Resort. We started with photos of Kyle and his family. Kyle and Julie did not want to see each other before the ceremony, so Kyle went into the Thistle Lodge Restaurant to wait for the ceremony. When Julie arrived with their two children, we created some additional images. Gianna was a joy to photograph with her Mom! We wanted to start their Sanibel Island beach wedding on time, so off to the beach for a 4:30pm ceremony. Patricia Slater of Weddings by the Sea was the officiate and wedding planner. The guests gathered and found their seats on the beach-just 50 feet from the Gulf of Mexico. The day was warm with overcast skies. During the last hour of daylight the warm color of light came through the clouds which made for great photographs. Little Kinsley was carried to the ceremony by Kyle’s brother. So then Gianna walked down the aisle with the rings, followed by her Mom who was escorted by her Dad. The beach wedding included a sand ceremony where the bridal family placed sand into a vase. The couple were pronounced ‘MARRIED’! by Patricia Slater and walked back down the aisle. They hugged friends and family and we then took off for some green landscape photos. With the gray overcast, I enjoyed making a few of the photographs in black & white, the rich contrast was great for this Sanibel Island beach wedding.

Julie and Kyle were fun to photograph with great energy and patience during their wedding photo session. After the sunset photographs, the couple walked to the Gazebo Room of the Thistle Lodge Restaurant where they enjoyed a celebration dinner and wedding cake with their friends and family. They were served by the great staff at Thistle Lodge Restaurant. For over twenty years I have photographed intimate and destination weddings on Sanibel Island. Shown here are some of my favorite photographs we captured at their Sanibel Island beach wedding.

For their tropical destination wedding at Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island, FL, Samantha said she was inspired by the Little Mermaid. With her copper colored hair, lush tropical blooms and subtle ocean touches (like the shell and starfish wedding arch), we think she nailed it! Even Samantha’s dress has a mermaid flair! Sanibel Island wedding photographer, Nick Adams Photography, was a perfect match for this tropical island wedding.

Sanibel Island, FL – Beach Brunch Wedding {Lauren + John}

Image | Posted on October 9, 2014 by Admin

Summer in Florida is the perfect season for a beach brunch wedding. Temperatures tend to be cooler in the morning and the chance of showers is lower, too. Virginia couple, Lauren & John, took advantage of the beautiful morning weather and had their Sanibel Island destination brunch wedding at Casa Ybel Resort. Sanibel Island wedding photographer, Tonya Malay Photography, caught all of the beautiful details of this summer morning beach wedding.

Sanibel Wedding Venue – Beach Brunch Wedding {Kristin + Justin}

Image | Posted on October 2, 2014 by Admin

Morning beach weddings on Sanibel Island can be so romantic. Getting out on the sand before everyone else and beating the afternoon summer rain showers are just a few reasons brunch weddings are great for Florida summers. There’s also the soft light of the morning sun and the irresistible nature of mimosas and waffles and omelets! We love the nature-inspired decor and the sweet antique furniture that adorn Kristin and Justin’s brunch wedding at Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island. And we really love these timeless images from Sanibel Island wedding photographer Trenholm Photo.

The result – a super luxe wedding reception filled with plush champagne and ivory linens, crystal chandeliers and gold details.
