After 3 months worth of wedding weekends, 2 rounds of family illnesses (yes, all 4 children and parents sick), an unexpected injury, 2 out of town vacations and a charity project… I am FINALLY attempting to catch up on a personal and professional level. There are edits and albums, blog posts and emails that are needing my attention, yet; when it rains it pours and I think we’ve been in a torrential flood for a good bit. I’m looking forward to a new year and a chance for some fresh new beginnings!! But… enough about me, there’s a beautiful wedding of a fabulous couple that’s ready to be shared!
Ashlee and Russ tied the knot in Ft. Myers at the magnificent Edison Ford Winter Estates, with a lovely reception at the Royal Palm Yacht Club. It was a gorgeous day with bright blue skies, vibrant pink flowers and lots of love.
Ashlee’s ring was nothing less than breathtaking! Seriously, Russ did a phenomenal job! I could have taken images of this bling all day long!
Ashlee and Russ opted for a first look and this charming little garden was the perfect location for the big moment.
Russ waited patiently for his beautiful bride. Love this image of him- so G.Q.!
Finally, she arrived!
Ah, the glorious sun rained down in an almost kaleidoscope fashion. Between the colors, the rays and Ashlee’s expression, I am completely in love with this image!
Ashlee and Russ, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your big day! May your years be rich with the blessings of love and adoration for one another.

Ashlee, the pics are great and the people in them are just stunning 😉 I love the one of the flower girls and their baskets (maybe because I made them) but they were so cute with their outfits. The one of Reece and the flowers on the ground was cute too. My favorite one of you is the close up of your side profile (sorry Russ you weren’t in it). I really like the long shot of the group with the palm trees during the ceremony. And you have to purchase that last shot and put it on your wall somewhere LOVE it! Congrats to you both & I hope that married life has been as good to you as it has to me. ~JamieD.~
