Tag: Naples Wedding Photography

We recently photographed Lindsey and John’s easy breezy wedding at Mediterra in Naples. They began the day at Mediterra where they did a first look before the ceremony. It’s a really pretty and romantic setting for photos. Lindsey herself is a Nikon shooter. What a compliment it is for us to shoot a photographer’s wedding! We then made our way to the Beach Club at Mediterra for the ceremony and festivities. Steve Farst provided music during the ceremony and reception. He’s good folks. Congrats Lindsey and John, it was an honor to be a part of your day. We wish you well!

It’s nice to get our feet wet…

Remember this great engagement shoot? Nicole and Steve’s wedding at the Naples Botanical Garden was just as wonderful. Not only did they choose the local Gardens, which are a dream to photograph in, they also incorporated eco-friendly features into their wedding day. I’ll describe more of their handmade and eco details in part two of their blog post. Sir Daniel and Faces by Frohmberg did the wow hair and makeup for the day. Isn’t Nicole gorgeous?

Being kind to the earth is something that Karl and I keep in mind when making decisions in our home life and for Luminaire Foto. So much so that we offer couples like Nicole and Steve as much as 15% off our photography plans! We understand that weddings are expensive events, and by making responsible choices you’re often adding to the cost. It’s our little way of saying thanks for making a thoughtful choice. These weddings are extra beautiful and meaningful events as well as fun for us to photograph!

As promised, here are more photos from Jessica and Jeremy’s wedding at The West Bay Beach & Golf Club. It Must Be Love Weddings & Events did a beautiful job setting up the beach ceremony and poolside reception sites. Isn’t the mossy monogram a cool idea? Their ring bearer was too cute for words. He didn’t want to go down the aisle, but with his mom encouraging him from behind and his dad from the seats he managed to complete the all important task!

Karl and I loved shooting Jessica and Jeremy’s reception at the West Bay Club. The light-strung palm trees and the pretty centerpieces along with the setting sun made for a stunning scene. It was fun as always to work with the video team at iHeart Films. The Steve Farst Band provided fun poolside entertainment all evening. The couple made cool use of sparklers surrounding their first dance. It was absolutely beautiful. It turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the day, watching Jess and Jeremy descend the stairs to their sparkly first dance and the awaiting party. You could tell that moment, looking at all of their loved ones below, stole Jessica’s breath for a moment. We stole the couple for a few more photos on the surrounding grounds. Their party, fotobooth and all, went strong until the end. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Ridgeo!

Not expecting them to say yes, I suggested that Jessica and Jeremy roll down a hill. Not only did they agree, but Jessica clapped her hands at the thought! It was such a playful moment. Never hurts to ask, right?

I took these photos with a neat lens that turns the blurry faraway lights into little hearts. Fun!

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.

As much of the country is just warming up to spring, looking for tulips and tiny buds, we here in South Florida have already shut our windows in favor of the cool AC. But in the evening, a cool breeze blows and we head outside for long dinners, dog walks, and wandering bike rides. Thank goodness for the sun setting! Photo taken at the magical Naples Botanical Gardens. Don’t these look like something out of Alice in Wonderland?

Karl and I shot this sweet little wedding at the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club. Brittani and Dustin stood up to some blustery Gulf winds to get married on the shore. Doesn’t everyone in the wedding look so effortlessly pretty and handsome? Funny moment: A little boy almost stole the show during their casual first dance on the beach. He caught everyones’ attention with some karate dance moves! We never know what’s in store for us when we show up to a wedding. Only that it’s going to be a big party, and that we’re ready for it all, cameras in hand. Congratulations Brittani and Dustin, we wish you more than the best!

It was wonderful to watch this wedding unfold, from the joyful signing of the ketubah to the windy ceremony under the chuppah. Jeni and Adam were married at Vineyards Country Club here in Naples. The newlyweds were quite the couple on the dance floor. When you see the two of them together that spark is instantly apparent, and you just know that they’re perfect for each other. Congrats Jeni and Adam!

Our wedding foto videos capture the action and glory of the wedding day and condense the madness into a neat little two minutes. They’re quite fun to watch and share with friends. See for yourself! Oh yeah don’t forget to check out their wedding day pictures, day after session and engagement photos.

To celebrate the wedding of Marquis and Andrew, we kicked off the day at the Felix Andrews Salon at Coconut Point. Marquis made her way down the street to Sephora for her makeup. The bridesmaids were pretty in their green J.Crew dresses. In the afternoon sun Marquis and Andrew were married at the same Bonita Springs beach where, once upon a time, they first met at a party. The skies were windy and sunny and it was just a gorgeous day. The couple help their wedding reception at Spanish Wells Golf and Country Club. Congratulations to the both of you! Oh yeah don’t forget to check out their wedding fotovideo, day after session and engagement photos.
