Patricia Slater's Weddings by the Sea

Sanibel Island wedding ceremony

Intimate weddings Venue on Sanibel Island

Carl and Minju contacted me for their wedding ceremony. They wanted a morning wedding on Sanibel Island along with their families. After a few phone calls for details, I was able to provide all the features that Carl and Minju hoped for. Intimate weddings are so much fun, I see the wedding couples are so relaxed and able to enjoy every moment. For instance, just take a look at some of the earlier pictures that were created.

Island Wedding Ceremony

We met at the Casa Ybel Resort at 9am for pictures. This property is beautiful and provides a great landscape for photography. Also, the resort has the charming Thistle Lodge Restaurant. After the ceremony, the wedding party enjoyed a celebration brunch. The flowers were provided by Floral Artistry of Sanibel Island. Frank Simonetti was the photographer. After a half hour, we all traveled to Patricia Slater’s secluded beach. The weather was perfect and the beach was beautiful.

Wedding Ceremony on a Secluded Beach

As a Sanibel Island resident for over 40 years, I have access to some great beaches that are secluded and only easily accessible by only Sanibel Island residents. For this intimate wedding ceremony, we met at the Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island. The resort is well-known as an intimate weddings reception venue. So, we walked along a lovely path to the secluded beach for the ceremony. The groom’s sister and friend, both music school students, surprised the bride and groom with interlude. After the ceremony, more pictures were taken with family and the wedding couple.

Celebration brunch at Thistle Lodge Restaurant

After pictures, we all traveled to the Thistle Lodge Restaurant, which was just a few miles away. Minju and Carl had a look of happiness on their faces as they entered the Thistle Lodge Restaurant. They enjoyed brunch in the Gazebo Room, which is a perfect and private room for smaller wedding groups.
