It was mid-October and fall was just beginning to reach Southwest Florida. The leaves didn’t change, but love was in the air. Becky and Steve promised to love each other forever under 75 foot palm trees in Henry Ford’s Royal Palm Allee at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers. Photographer, Krista Kowalczyk, of Impressions Photography was there to take these amazing shots.
- It wouldn’t be a fall wedding without candied apple escort cards.
- Steve steals a kiss in the Tea House at the Swimming Pool.
- The water lily reflecting pool in the Moonlight Garden reflects more than just moonlight.
- Mina’s Moonlight Garden is the best place to sneak away to!
- The autumn theme was not lost on Becky’s bridesmaids, who wore long brown satin gowns. All ladies carried bouquets of oranges and yellows.
- The vine-covered pergola between Edison’s main and guest houses is so perfectly romantic.
- What’s more appropriate than a kiss at the Friendship Gate?
- Becky & Steve enjoy their fist moments as husband and wife on the stairs inside the Ford House.
- Royal Palm Allee
- The sound of strings played Becky down the aisle.
- Becky & Steve’s daughter couldn’t have been more perfect for the role of flower girl.
- Before taking that long walk down the aisle, Becky takes a deep breath and composes herself in the Ford’s dining room.
- The mysore fig tree is the perfect symbol of strength and unity, with over 90% of its roots above ground, they must work as a team to keep the tree upright.
- The Estates boasts the largest banyan tree in the Continental U.S. – an irresistable photo backdrop!
