Fort Myers Photographer-Frank Simonetti

“It is my hope that as you view my images, you will understand my personality and passion for my art”  Vivero!!

Hi! Welcome to my photography web/blog. For over twenty years I have enjoyed creating photography of Sanibel weddings, Fort Myers area weddings and portraits on these beautiful Florida beaches.

Posted here are some of my recent favorite wedding and portrait photographs.  As a Fort Myers photographer, I have beach portraits of children and families. I have engagement photography and high school senior portraits created on Sanibel  and Captiva Islands.

Samantha and Adam marry on Captiva Island

Great weather for this couple from Boston. They were joined by family and friends for the beach ceremony at Tween Waters Inn. After cocktails on the beach, they walked to the Wakefield Room at Tween Waters Inn for a fun reception and dinner-with a lot of dancing! Here are my favorite images we captured. Sam and  Adam, thank you for inviting me to your wedding!

Jaclyn and Michael and Baby makes three!

We met for the family portrait on Captiva Island.  Cole was perfect-just like a model. Looked into the camera when needed and smiled on prompt. So here are some of my favorite images we created.

Ashley and Chase marry on Sanibel Island!

We all met at 06:30 – yes, we were all smiling. There was a big cloud head over the area of sunrise, but it all worked to our advantage. The destination wedding for this Minnesota couple was after seven years of being together. They said the “three” words after seven months into their relationship – yes I asked….  The ceremony was performed by Patricia Slater of Sanibel Island. Here are my favorite images that we created

 Sharon and Brian are married on Captiva Island

Sharon and Brian were married in April on Captiva Island. They were joined by family for this intimate destination wedding.  After photographs were made on the beach, the bride and groom went to Traditions Restaurant with family for a celebration dinner. Brian is from England, so there was a little difficulty with the language differences but with some hand signals, all worked out just fine Shown here are some of my favorite photographs we created. Brian and Sharon, thank you for inviting me to your wedding!

Elizabeth and Jesse marry on Captiva Island

The bride and groom arrived to this Fort Myers area island for their wedding on Monday at sunset. The weather was great for the beach ceremony and reception at the CAPTURED residence on Captiva Island. The bride and groom were joined by their family and friends for this intimate destination wedding. Shown here are some of my favorite images we created. Jesse and Liz, thank you for inviting me to your wedding!

Ben and Hailey are engaged!

Ben planned a surprise marriage proposal to Hailey at Casa Ybel beach on Sanibel Island. From the look on the Hailey’s face, it was certainly a surprise. After some additional pictures, the newly engaged couple went to the Thistle Lodge Restaurant for a celebration dinner. Here are some of my favorite photographs we created.

Cassie and Richard marry at the Pink Shell Resort

Richard and Cassie were married on the beach at the Pink Shell Resort. After the wedding ceremony on Fort Myers Beach, the wedding couple were joined by family and friends for dinner in the Captiva Ballroom at Pink Shell Resort.  It was a fun-high energy wedding with a great sunset that the guests viewed as they enjoyed the cocktail hour. Cassie and Richard, thank you for inviting me to your wedding!
