Perfect Intimate Destination Wedding at Casa Ybel Resort

The following wedding has to be one of my favorite for the season so far. Beautifully photographed by Cher Hanna (Cher Hanna Website), the Miller/Wells wedding on January 30, 2010 was stunning from beginning to end.

Ashley and Ellory were such a sweet couple, and they deserved an amazing day! They were married on our beach behind the Thistle Lodge Beachfront Restaurant, followed by an Intimate reception on our outdoor terrace. There were so many amazing images from that day; I found it really difficult to narrow it down!!



For this one, I will let the pictures speak for themselves!!

 

Our gorgeous Thistle Lodge Beachfront

Great shot of the front pond at Casa Ybel Resort


Stunning photos and bride! I love the lighting

The bride and groom wrote each other letters the night before the wedding, then they were delivered to one another right before the ceremony. I love the look of pure love on her face as she reads his!

Elegant Casa Ybel Destination Wedding

February was such a gorgeous month here on Sanibel. Even though we had a far colder than usual winter this year, all of our weddings went off without a hitch, and our clients braved the cold to still have a perfect day!


The stunning wedding on February 6, 2010 was no exception! The Gadell/Sanders wedding took place on one of our lush lawn spaces, followed by cocktails on our outdoor terrace, and dinner in our Waterfront Dining Room.


The flowers were done by Beach Bud Florals(Beach Buds Website), the music by DJ Ron Rutz (Ron Rutz Website), and the photography by Nick Adams (Nick Adams Photography). Nick was again kind enough to share some amazing images with us of this gorgeous day!!

                   Here is our amazing couple. I was in love with her blue hydrangea bouquet


 She was flawless



How gorgeous are these guys?! Should be models!

Such a gorgeous lawn ceremony, and the genuine emotion of the ceremony captured perfectly.  

                                                                    Husband and Wife!!

Stunning sunset, stunning couple

 

 What a fun shot of the bridal party!


They had a very elegant reception, with a plated meal of Grilled Filet of Beef and Jumbo Prawns with Red Wine Demi and Scampi Sauce, and an amazing Fresh Coconut Wedding Cake!



 
      First dance as husband and wife, and the brides dance with her father. I love the emotion!
 














Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Sanders! We wish you a lifetime of happiness and love!
