Stunning Casa Ybel Wedding Couple

The next couple we are featuring on the blog everyone here at Casa Ybel Resort just fell in love with. It was impossible not to!!

Not only are they just super sweet, nice, down to earth, happy people; but to top it off they are both stunning, and madly in love with one another. Planning the wedding was a dream, and seemed effortless, with the couple focusing on the love they have for one another rather than getting overwhelmed by planning a destination wedding.

Stuart and LeighAnn Denyer were married at Casa Ybel Resort on August 21, 2010. They had a wonderful ceremony on our white sand beach, followed by a full reception in our Waterfront Dining Room overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.

The photographs were shot by the amazing and talented Audrey and Michael Owen from Audrey Snow Photography.

Thank you to Audrey and Michael for sharing with us!!

October Wedding at Casa Ybel Resort

We here at Casa Ybel feel so fortunate to work with some amazing, talented, and wonderful people on a regular basis.

This is overwhelmingly true when it comes to our next featured couple, married here on October 23, 2010. Professional golfer and realty T.V. star, Ashley Prange married professional baseball player Brian Snyder on Casa Ybel Resort's stunning lawn, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. They continued with a gorgeous reception in our Waterfront Dining Room, where guests were treated to a Delicious buffet featuring Native Grouper, Norwegian Salmon, and Macadamia Crusted Chicken Breast.

They were such nice, down to earth people, and planning was so much fun!!

Please enjoy the pictures from their special day, shared with us by the fantastic Frank Simonetti!
