Sanibel Sunset Beach Wedding
I always love doing weddings out on Sanibel Island, and this wedding was no exception, just a little different than most. I met up with Amber & Cody at a little beach resort called the West Wind Inn. What’s not to like about the cozy buildings and pool overlooking the sparkling Gulf of Mexico? The sunset this evening was one for the record books; a perfect backdrop for Amber & Cody to celebrate their marriage. Just after the sun set, the couple wanted to do something extreme: take a jump into the the Inn’s pool. To make this shot happen I had to enter the pool (fully clothed) and get down right near the surface of the water. I shot with a wide lens, so I had to be relatively close to the bride and groom. As they jumped I realized that there’s a 90% chance I’m going to get splashed. After seeing the shot though, it was worth every soaking minute.
A quick photo taken by my wife Nanette, usually doesn’t see me in action, I usually just show up at home hurt, sandy, or wet.

Natalia & Kipling’s Sanibel Island Beach Wedding
It is so funny, when I lived in Michigan, all I could do was dream about getting a wedding to take place out on a beach. Then I moved to Southwest Florida (Naples), where getting married on the beach is just about the only thing a couple will do. I do love it when the bride and groom are willing to risk it a little and venture out into the water on their wedding day. I had a wonderful time photographing this wedding on Sanibel Island, enjoy the photos below.
