We don’t know the last time we’ve seen this many smiles and joyful goofy faces at a wedding, but for Donieke & Valiant, this is just par for the course of their relationship. The two of them, their closest family & friends, and a whole lot of personality made for a picture-perfect courthouse wedding in downtown Orlando.

Donieke & Valiant met online through mutual friends, and it didn’t take long for things to become serious. There were giant teddy bears involved early on, including one Valiant gave Donieke for Valentine’s Day, and eventually that same teddy bear became part of their proposal. By the time their wedding day arrived, it was pretty clear these two were completely in love and very comfortable being silly together.

Not every wedding needs a ballroom packed with hundreds of guests to feel meaningful. Sometimes, all it takes is a room full of the people who’ve been there from the beginning. That’s exactly what Lysandra & Brad created with their intimate wedding celebration at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, FL.

Their story actually began in the very place they returned to celebrate their new marriage. Right after high school, they both worked in food and beverage at Rosen Shingle Creek and were part of the team that helped open the hotel. Years later, after building a life together, they came back as husband and wife. More than a beautiful venue, this location was the start of their story together.

After officially tying the knot earlier that day at the Orange County Courthouse, they gathered with about 25 of their closest family members and friends for a relaxed evening dinner before heading off to Punta Cana for their destination wedding celebration. It was simple, personal, and exactly what they wanted.

Some weddings are filled with extravagant details, while others remind you that the heart of the day has always been about two people making a lifelong commitment. Irelis and Dillon’s wedding at the Baughman Center in Gainesville was one of those weddings. It was simple, intentional, deeply rooted in their Christian faith, and centered on the people who mattered most.

Their story began on Upward, a Christian dating app, where they met in mid-December. Just a few months later they officially started dating, and after a little over a year together, Dillon proposed during a trip to Paris with the Eiffel Tower as the backdrop. Their relationship also came with a few fun coincidences along the way, including discovering they had once lived in apartment buildings with the exact same apartment number! Long distance was part of their journey too, with Irelis’ family rooted in Florida while Dillon’s family traveled from London to celebrate alongside them.

For their wedding day, returning to Gainesville felt especially meaningful. Irelis had attended the University of Florida and had always loved the Baughman Center, making it the perfect place to exchange vows.

Sydney & Jim’s wedding day at Lake Louisa Chateau in Clermont, FL was in full bloom, literally! A vibrant sunny day, gorgeous weather, and colorful blooms adorning everywhere your eye looked: springtime romance was in the air.

From the moment we arrived, the property already felt alive with the spring energy. Sydney and her bridesmaids were in matching pajamas laughing around the house, while Jim and the groomsmen were getting ready nearby, keeping things relaxed and low-key. Kelly (photo) was moving between both sides of the property capturing all those anticipatory moments, while Rob (video) was focused on those small moments, laughter and gestures that make wedding films feel like reliving 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.

Cali and Allen’s wedding was the kind of day that captures everything beautiful about choosing a small, intimate wedding. Their celebration at The Garden Villa felt warm and deeply personal from the moment we arrived. Choosing our affordable and micro-wedding friendly 2hr wedding photo & video package, Cali & Allen were able to not only capture just the most important moments of their day, but save money for their future life together! With a relaxed timeline and a focus on family, emotion, and their story, this micro wedding was filled with meaningful details rather than crowd-driven chaos. It was the type of intimate wedding day that unfolds naturally, guided by love instead of schedules.

Salena & Ejaaz’s wedding day was a vibrant, emotional, and deeply moving celebration of love, family, and heritage. With guests flying in from around the world and a jam-packed day that spanned sunrise to late night, their wedding honored their Islamic faith and Caribbean roots while blending in modern elements that were all their own. From teary-eyed parents and a packed house in Clermont to a joyful Nikah and an energetic reception with tassa music and heartfelt speeches—this day was the perfect reflection of their story: fast-moving, fated, and filled with meaning.

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.

Some wedding days are calm and steady. Others are a perfect whirlwind of laughter, tears, tequila, heat, and the kind of love that leaves your cheeks sore from smiling. Ginny & Michael’s wedding at Wanderlust Okto in Lake Nona was absolutely the latter—in the best possible way.

From an emotional first touch to guests asking us to literally jump over benches, their day was a nonstop blend of sentimental moments and full-blown party energy, with just the right amount of chaos tossed in. View Ginny & Michael’s full wedding gallery and blog write-up here!
