Engagement Photo Shoot: Anne & Jeff | Photo Locations in Southwest Florida

Posted by edisonfordwinterestates On January 27th

Some of you may remember Cameron & Michelle’s engagement shoot at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, FL that we posted back in August.  We would like to say congratulations to the happy couple as they were married on January 7, 2012.  They were kind enough to send us a copy of their Save The Date postcards that were designed using images from their engagement session.

Autumn Bliss: Victoria & Daniel’s Wedding | Outdoor Wedding Locations

Posted by edisonfordwinterestates On December 27th

When Just Say Cheese Photography photographed Victoria & Daniel’s fall wedding at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates, they used a post production technique called Selective Colorization to make the images distinct.  This technique, which leaves pops of color in a black and white photo, is often used only a few times in each set of wedding photos.  Victoria & Daniel, however, loved the style so much that they asked that the majority of their wedding photos be processed this way.  The results are an interesting technicolor display where the bright blue, orange and yellow wedding colors really stand out.

You might remember Jin & Bryan from their engagement photos.  Below are the stunning photographs of their October wedding at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, FL.  I especially love Jin’s vintage modern bridal style.  She conjures up images of Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly with this modern beehive and tiara.  Her Parisian Roger Vivier heels and long white gloves seal the deal!

Michelle & Al proved to be a couple after my own heart when Beatles tunes carried them down the aisle!  November is one of the most beautiful times of the year to get married outside in Florida.  The weather was perfect for Michelle & Al’s fall wedding in front of the Mysore Fig Tree at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, Florida.  Susie Hulcher sang those sweet Beatles songs as Michelle arrived by Model T.  Christina Phelps Bowman of Beautiful Florida Weddings had everyone tearing up during the ceremony.  Ashley from Cleopatra Photography snapped photos until sundown, then  everyone headed to the Royal Palm Yacht Club for the reception.  Take a look at these great photos of Michelle & Al’s magical day!

Beautiful Springtime Wedding: Abbey & Jason | Outdoor Florida Wedding Venues

Posted by edisonfordwinterestates On November 24th

I know that we are in the midst of fall right now, but many couples are planning their springtime weddings at this time.  This is why I felt it was appropriate to post photos from Abbey & Jason’s wedding from May 2009 which took place in the Royal Palm Allee at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, Florida.  I particularly liked the Tiffany blue bridesmaid dresses and the brightly colored tropical bouquets that reflect the abundantly flowering wedding venue in springtime.
The images below were taken by Elegant Imagery over two years ago, but have proven to be timeless:
