Awarded Best of Zola
First of all, I wasn’t the most organized bride, and waited till the last minute to hire a photographer. Luckily Chris was available, and more luck on top of that he was very reasonably priced and such a great guy. Like I said, I’m very unorganized so when he arrived, I had no direction for him and didn’t even know what type of photos I wanted to have him take. We sent him off on his own to take some photos of the venue while I finish getting ready. But let me tell you, he knew what to do. He nailed the picture of the rings and the flowers and the table where we all ate dinner. The first look was adorable, and we have every angle we could possibly want of the ceremony. He was always right where he needed to be and we got plenty of great photos!! I'd recommend maybe just a tad more attention to the details. (your necklace is crooked, your hair is in your face, your hand is in a weird spot type of stuff) But I'm not picky and still loved all my photos! I also recently just deleted the photos he sent me and he was nice enough to go back in his archives and resend them again. I would definitely recommend Chris five out of five stars!!!

My bridesmaids were doing their own hair and makeup at our wedding, so I (the bride) worked directly with Irene. The entire process was great. She is highly communicative, extremely detail-oriented, punctual, professional, and amazingly talented. Due to my sensitive skin, we used some of my products and hers. I was so grateful for her flexibility in working with my own foundation and concealer. Irene took the time to listen to truly listen to my vision and needs for hair and makeup.

Given the personal nature of weddings and engagements, we wanted a photographer who could connect with us and communicate wonderfully.

On the wedding day, she was super prepared and organized; with 12 groomsmen and 12 bridesmaids on each side, she skillfully captured a wide variety of shots. We even had the chance to take individual portraits with each member of our party.

Hey love birds! My name is Eleanor :) I've lived the majority of my life here in SWFL and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I started photography back in 2019 and fell in love with capturing couples. I am always down for an adventure and a fun time. Don't hesitate to reach out to me! My best, Eleanor

Eleanor has been the best photographer we’ve ever come across! She always made each photo session feel like a date and always chose the best locations. Even if you don’t feel photogenic, she makes it feel so easy, relaxed and will always get the best photos! I love the way she captures emotions. 10/10 !!!!

Enrique didn’t just photograph our wedding; he crafted a visual love story. From the raw, fleeting moments to the grand celebrations, his work is pure magic. The way he plays with light and emotion left us breathless when we saw our gallery. Not only is he a master behind the lens, but his calm presence made us forget we were even being photographed.

  • Florist

My name is Bobbi, and I’m proud to call Fort Myers, Florida home — though I’m originally from beautiful Bucks County, Pennsylvania and I travel often to Bucks County. Flowers have always been part of my life. From tending my own garden beds for years to building over six years of experience in the floral event industry, my passion has blossomed into helping others celebrate life’s most meaningful moments through flowers. In addition to event florals, I also offer floral preservation services so you can cherish your flowers forever. Your bouquet doesn’t have to fade into a memory — it can become a lasting keepsake of your special day.

Pretty Pollen was an absolute pleasure to work with for our event. Bobbi was quick to respond, kind and understanding throughout the entire planning process. She was incredibly patient as we worked together to bring our vision to life. The quality of their work was meticulous, creative and beautifully detailed. Bobbi had so many wonderful ideas and was able to listen to my wants and needs to create florals that exceeded our expectations and stayed within our budget. I highly recommend Pretty Pollen - you won't be sorry!

An incredible experience from start to finish! Joan’s process was seamless and clear from our very first call until the moment we said 'I do.' She took the time to truly understand us as individuals and as a couple, beautifully painting that picture throughout our ceremony. We had 10 guests tell us it was the most romantic, meaningful, and intentional ceremony they had ever attended. If you want your ceremony to be the absolute highlight of your wedding, you must book Joan!
