Brigette & Nick | Secret Foto Video | Southwest Florida Engagement Photographers
In addition to their engagement session Brigette and Nick asked us to create a surprise foto video for their wedding guests to be played at their wedding reception. Nick did a beautiful job scripting the entire movie for us over email. On New Year’s Eve we drove from Fort Myers to Estero to downtown Naples, cameras in tow, recreating the story of their relationship leading to their wedding day. Thank you RSW for not kicking us out! Their story brought us to the airport, the Hyatt, the Inn on 5th, and Nick’s work place. We even did a few scenes pretending to be in NYC! The coolest part is that the foto video ended with the couple in a kiss at their reception location at the Hyatt. As the video wrapped Brigette and Nick made their entrance, coinciding with the kiss in the video! Their guests were thrilled. Watch and see. We had so much fun working with Brigette and Nick on their love story project.

Priya & Ojas | Naples Engagement Photographers
While we’re almost ready to share the beautiful photos from their Indian wedding, check out some engagement photos of Priya and Ojas. Click here to view a sneak peek of their wedding.
Erin & Adam | Naples Engagement Photography
This shoot was really great for a few reasons. First off, Erin and Adam are so photogenic and just cool people to hang out with. Secondly, this is one of our favorite places to shoot. Thirdly, they asked us to incorporate their table numbers into their photos for use at their reception. We decided to go big by making our own larger than life props. Erin and Adam later framed the photos on their reception tabletops. Thanks to my mom who did a bunch of the work sawing and painting!!
We have bunches more to show from this cute couple’s wedding at The Quarry, from their wedding to their day after shoot.
And for the numbers…
Jessica & Jeremy | Old Naples | Naples Engagement Photographers
We shot these sunny photos in celebration of Jessica and Jeremy’s engagement. How’s this for a great story? The fortune is one from their first date! They now keep the fortune in the little cookie box. We’ll soon be posting images from their recent wedding at The West Bay Beach & Golf Club.
Danielle & Luke | Carnival | Naples Engagement Photography
This engagement photography session tops the list as one of our absolute faves. While we often compare our engagement shoots to being on a double date, this shoot was colorful, beautiful, and fun to boot. Danielle and Luke asked us for ideas as to the location and setting, even going out on a limb to say… “we really want to give you the opportunity to try something new.” Karl and I are happy to take suggestions but there’s nothing like a little creative license!
We met Danielle and Luke at the Collier County Fair which literally opened its doors for it’s opening day as we arrived. Talk about timing! The carnies were all super nice, offering us extra rounds of dart throwing and such. There was something about the sun setting and the rainbow of rides that gave us some amazing color and glow. Of course, none of the photos would be so beautiful if it weren’t for this cute couple, smiling away at each other the entire evening.
Laura and Nate | Naples & Fort Myers Engagement Photography
Laura and Nate were our sweet models for two different engagement shoots, first set in a lovely natural setting in Naples and then later in downtown Fort Myers. We can’t wait for their upcoming wedding at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center.
Allison & Christian | Naples Engagement Session
Karl recently found this amazing, forgotten, neglected park, not far from our own house. The trees are ginormous and the light streams through in a way that’s heavenly. The wild grass lends such a softness to the photos. Allison and Christian spent a couple hours with Karl taking advantage of the lush scenery. We’re looking forward to their upcoming wedding at the Naples Botanical Garden.
Lyndsey & Brian | Naples Engagement Photography
And now for something completely different. Lyndsey and Brian asked us to shoot their engagement photos in the “less pretty” part of Naples. After a bit of location scouting Karl came up with an abandoned lot that has a beauty of its own. How about the giant spools? We enjoy taking photos at the beach of course, but we are always up for new ideas!
Marquis & Andrew Engaged | Naples Engagement Photography
Marquis and Andrew had us take their engagement photos on 3rd Street in Old Naples. It’s always nice to have an excuse to stroll around the pier at sunset (not that we need one.) We’re looking forward to their October wedding at the Spanish Wells Golf & Country Club in Bonita Springs. Oh yeah don’t forget to check out their wedding fotovideo, wedding day pictures and day after session.
