The phrase “happily ever after” comes to us from fairy tale stories of romance, so it’s no surprise that bride Amanda dreamed of beginning her happily ever after with a wedding day that felt straight from a storybook. With a traditional ceremony, meaningful moments rooted in their faith, and a venue full of historic charm, Amanda & Cameron’s celebration for 150 guests at The Estate on the Halifax was just like stepping into a Disney movie. Team photographer Maddie and team videographer Rob captured this romantic wedding just outside Orlando. View their full wedding gallery and wedding videography here!

As more and more couples embrace micro weddings, the old connotation that micro = low-quality simply isn’t true anymore. We’re seeing an ever-growing number of our couples opt to tie the knot in small celebrations that feel elevated and luxurious without the price tag. Maria & Caleb’s intimate wedding day was exactly that. Emotional and intentional, their celebration included just 25 of their closest family & friends at Maitland Art & History Museums in a day that felt less like an event and more like a deeply personal gathering. As an Orlando wedding photography team, we still love our large, energetic weddings, but there’s something incredibly special and grounding about a micro wedding where every single guest plays a part in the day.

One of the newest trends we’ve been seeing lately, as Orlando-based wedding photographers, is couples choosing to tie the knot in a small, private ceremony and then use their funds to throw a large wedding celebration with friends & family. Alicia & Kaleb did just that before their December wedding at The Hidden Barn Venue in Apopka, just north of metro Orlando. A few months after their private wedding ceremony, loved ones gathered for the kind of wedding reception their guests would never forget.

Karyn & Ismael’s wedding day at Villa Festa in DeLand felt intentional from the very beginning. It wasn’t about production or excess but rather about family, faith, and creating a space where the people who matter most could truly be present. Their celebration was intimate, joyful, and deeply rooted in connection, with every part of the day reflecting who they are and what they value together.

Nothing beats the sentimentality, warmth, and emotion of a home wedding, and Brittany & Kevin’s day was exactly that. Their backyard home wedding wasn’t about production or perfection: it was about love, legacy, and letting the celebration unfold naturally, all with the deep significance of roots in family property.

Brittany and Kevin met while working at an aerospace company, and their relationship included long distance, heartbreak, and ultimately reconnection after Kevin’s mother passed away. Brittany reached out during that season, and the two found their way back to each other, in a backstory that made the emotion of the wedding day feel especially present from the moment our team arrived.

We’ll let you in on a little secret: our favorite weddings to shoot are the ones where we go home afterwards and in great detail share every unique detail about the wedding day to our spouses or loved ones. Kaitlin & Josh’s wedding was absolutely one of those kind of days!

Soft and gentle, confident and adventurous, these lovebirds share a passion for gaming, anime, and all things nerdy. Meeting at a lawyer conference in Boston, they tied the knot back home in Orlando, where their faith-centered relationship blossomed and took root. Their traditional Catholic wedding and romantic-glam art museum reception made their wedding day feel both deeply personal and elegantly sophisticated.

As Orlando wedding photographers, we get to witness a wide range of wedding styles, but every once in a while a couple fully commits to a vision in a way that feels so unique and unforgettable. Cara and Arthur’s wedding at Chapel Valley Farm in Eustis, FL was exactly that: a gothic, Halloween-inspired fantasy wedding that felt like Lord of the Rings meets Harry Potter (to use their own words), brought to life with deep personal touches and an all-black, moody aesthetic.

When Lindsey and Sean decided to celebrate their love and their Ohio roots with a heartfelt fall wedding, The Event on Sunny Brook in Kent, Ohio, provided the perfect backdrop.

With family close by, a tight-knit bridal party, and meaningful moments throughout the day, Lindsey & Sean’s wedding was a celebration full of tears, laughter, and joy.

As an Orlando wedding photographer team, one of the things we love most about documenting weddings across Central Florida is how wildly different every celebration can be, with Diana and Ricardo’s wedding as the perfect example. Their day was unapologetically high-energy, deeply personal, a little chaotic in the best way, and completely true to who they are as a couple. The couple tied the knot in a traditional Catholic church ceremony at Saint Augustine Catholic Church with a laid-back, casual outdoor wedding reception at The Yardery in Sanford, FL.

Sometimes the simplest wedding days are the most meaningful. Olivia & Dustin’s wedding was a beautiful example of how laid-back, heartfelt celebrations can be just as moving—and just as memorable—as the biggest ballroom affairs. Set in Deltona, FL, with portraits at the lush Gemini Springs in nearby DeBary, their wedding was full of quiet moments, good food, and the kind of community support that only happens when a village comes together to celebrate love.

When you think “museum wedding”, does the phrase “affordable” come to mind? Normally these two concepts are mutually exclusive—or at least we think they are. Museum weddings evoke images of brides standing on sweeping marble staircases, stolen kisses in art galleries, and sparkling chandeliers, none of which are thought to be attainable for an affordable wedding. But did you know that it is possible to get married on a budget while tying the knot at a museum wedding venue?

We’ve searched the Orlando and Central Florida area for the most affordable museum wedding venues so you can have the elegant (or rustic, more on that later!) wedding of your dreams—without blowing your wedding budget. Looking to get married at an art museum, science museum, or historical museum without breaking the bank?

Here are our picks for the top 7 most affordable museum wedding venues in Orlando and Central Florida!

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” –Anne of Green Gables

So are we—especially when October is widely regarded as the most popular month of the year to get married! Given the cozy vibes of comfy sweaters, crisp leaves, and steaming cups of pumpkin spice lattes, it’s no wonder that the most heartwarming month of the year is an ideal time to tie the knot.

However, a fall wedding in Florida puts the “warm” into “heartwarming”. With hurricane season in full swing, daytime temperatures in the 80s-90s, and not an orange leaf in sight, planning an autumnal wedding in the Sunshine State can be a very different experience from planning one in cooler climates. That being said, there’s a lot to love about a fall wedding in Florida: milder weather, stunning sunsets late into the evening, and year-round vibrant greenery.

If you’re planning a fall wedding in Florida, here are some essential tips to navigating the Sunshine State’s unique autumn climate—and ways to maximize the fall vibes no matter the temperature outside.

Oak Hollow Manor sits on 20 lush acres, offering plenty of space for both your wedding ceremony and wedding reception. This rustic chic wedding venue is still developing, so if you’re a couple that likes the idea of a rustic barn venue that allows you to put your personal stamp on every detail, this is definitely one to consider. While some elements are still a work in progress, there’s a lot of potential here—especially for couples who want the flexibility to get creative.

We shot our first wedding at The Cottage on Lake Fairview in Orlando, FL back in summer 2023, so when we heard this venue had recently undergone new ownership and a fresh renovation, we couldn’t wait to visit again! Lately acquired by local hotspot Quantum Leap Winery, this quaint vintage cottage has been transformed into a modern urban winery wedding venue without losing any of its original charm. With a stunning lakeside wedding ceremony view and an indoor wedding reception space that gives all the Great Gatsby vibes, we love the new changes to The Cottage on Lake Fairview and can’t wait to share the details with you!
