A Family United: Colleen & Brian | Fort Myers Wedding Venue

Posted by edisonfordwinterestates On August 13th

Colleen and Brian and their girls are one of those families that you can’t help but want to befriend.  During the planning process for Colleen and Brian’s spectacular wedding, there were countless phone calls and visits to the Estates.  Every bridal show between Fort Myers and Naples, I’d see their smiling faces.  To watch this beautiful wedding take place was bittersweet because it meant I wouldn’t see them as often.

Below are the photos from Luminare Foto that document not only their wedding, but their engagement session at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates and their family holiday photo session here as well.  Though their official wedding color was purple, and there were Florida elements like the beach and fishing abound, I think the real theme of this wedding was their family.

A Classic Black & White Wedding: Amanda & Matt | Outdoor Florida Wedding Venue

Posted by edisonfordwinterestates On December 13th

Style and sophistication are the terms that come to mind when describing Amanda and Matt’s November wedding at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers, FL.  The couple glammed things up with a classic black and white color palette, a jaw-dropping vintage inspired gown (paired with a cathedral length fishnet veil), and an antique Model T getaway car.  Jesse Netsch Photography was there to document the elegance.
