We absolutely love shooting at the Heitman House. The old Florida feel is hard to come by on this coast. The wraparound porch and windows offer great photo opportunities, even in full sun. The boardwalk and backyard are so awesome!!! Laurie and her staff are professional and experienced. Oh yeah, Laurie is a fabulous caterer as well; UNBELIEVABLE food.
I have been fortunate enough to do several photo shoots here and I can tell you that this place is absolutly georgous! Old world theme with the beauty and modernization of the river. Some of my best work has been done here. I reccomend this venus wholehartedly!
What an amazing location for a wedding! I love photographing at the Heitman House, there are endless places to take beautiful images!!
The Event Lady is especially fond of The Heitman House, since our Florida Weddings and Special Events Magazine Ft Myers' launch party was given here in 2006. We had a wonderful evening here! This is a beautiful historic mansion of SW Florida, with lovely people that run it and offer great service our customers.
