Beautiful Orlando wedding photography for Jenny & Darrell

It’s not often that I have a groom contact and inquire about our service, but that is how I met Darrell. He took on the challenge of finding a wedding photographer, and found us. So, let me introduce you to another one of our sweet and totally in love couples. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Darrell and Jeniffer Christmas. Yes, it’s correct, the newlyweds are mr and mrs CHRISTMAS!! Love it!! The ceremony was at St. Mary Magdaline , and the reception at Leu Gardens back in April. We had a lot of fun at this reception, a good crowd with a lot of happy friendly people all celebrating the newlyweds love for each other. Congratulations Darrell and Jenny!

A helicopter arrival for Shelle and Damon

Wow! By far the most exciting and spectacular entrance made by one of our brides was her arrival on a helicopter! Talk about a Grand Entrance! Shelle travelled from Bermuda to marry her price Damon, also from Bermuda, on the lawns of Orlando’s Omni Championsgate. Every jaw dropped, even Damon’s as it was all a surprise to him too, as the helicopter circled then landed , and Shelle stepped out in all her glory . Laying on the ground to capture the arrival from a “different” angle is a sight and sound I will never forget!

Tara and Charles’ stunning Maison Jardin wedding | Orlando wedding photography

Congratulations to Tara and Charles Langford whose wedding we had the honor of photographing this February 5th at Maison Jardin in Altamonte Springs. As an experienced Event Coordinator, Tara had a vision for her wedding day and her host of talented vendors made her vision a reality. Her florist used orchids, tulips and 1,500 white roses to successfully create a warm and inviting ambiance.

Their cake, a four tier cake with a dusted metallic gold ombre effect was not only stunning but yummy, encompassing red velvet, key lime with a graham cracker filling, carrot cake and classic vanilla, delicious! Tara herself was just stunning in her taffeta, form-fitting ball gown. The dropped waist and all over ruching with cascading floral appliques shaping the breathtaking skirt was complimented by a chapel train.

All of Tara and Charles’ vendors are listed below. A special mention to DJ Dave Awesome who did a great job entertaining the crowd all night long with a successful night of dancing and celebrating.

Congratulations Tara, Charles and little man Liam!

Sean & Ashley’s Buena Vista Palace wedding

After 3 1/2 years together Sean and Ashley tied the knot on January 4th at the Buena Vista Palace in Orlando. Sean proposed to Ashley 2 years ago at a romantic dinner on a visit back to his hometown of New Orleans. Ashley of course said “YES” and we wish this really kind and sweet couple all the best in their new life together.

I asked Ashley what her favorite memory was from her wedding day and she said it was seeing her husband for the first time as her Dad walked her down the aisle. The day was wet, cold and rainy! The outside gazebo ceremony scrapped for a quick change to inside. Not what Ashley and Sean had pictured for their big day. The unpredictable Florida weather did nothing to damper this couples spirits and Ashley said that her wedding “turned out so much better than I could ever have imagined!”

That’s what it’s all about…not the dress, the flowers, the DJ or the location. Nothing matters but the fact that this couple has vowed to love, honor and cherish each other for the rest of their lives. No doubt they will!

Lindsey and Kyle’s Orlando wedding at Cross Creek Ranch

Normally I write a little blurb about a recent couple we had the honor of doing wedding photography for, but this time they did all the work for us, but more in a moment…

Lindsey (London) and Kyle Harris got married on October the 20th at the Cross Creek Country Ranch in Dover. This location is really beautiful and suited Lindsey and Kyle perfectly! I’m not a writer, just a photographer, blogs are seriously procrastinated tasks that I must eventually tackle. All I want to say is, we had a blast at this wedding! Everyone and everything was just perfect. That is a huge testament to Lindsey and Kyle, who are two really nice young people, surrounded by wonderful family and friends. We wish them a lifetime of love and happiness!

Here is a list of their vendors, all really great to work with. But before you go, we asked Lindsey and Kyle for a little quote we might put up on the blog. We got so much more! Here is what they had to say about us…

“When Kyle and I first met Charlene and Stan we both agreed, right away, there was no need to keep looking. During our engagement photo shoot we really got to know them and found out just how fun and quirky they are. Charlene doesn’t care what she has to do to get the perfect shot… whether it be laying in the dirt or standing upside down- she is going to make it happen! And, Stan has that eye, that knack, of knowing just where we need to be! The day of the wedding was perfect… Charlene and Stan proved that it doesn’t matter just how large a wedding party is, even one of 26! They portrayed exquisite professionalism and organization while making sure everyone had their picture taken. Truly blessed to have these photographs that we can cherish for years to come.”

Beautiful Orlando Wedding Photography at the Rosen Center

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Matthew and Philander Mitchell! We had a blast shooting their wedding on October 26th at the Rosen Center on International Drive. Matthew grew up in the same neighborhood as Stan, Lake Conway East, yet it took his Tampa bride to find us via The Knot. Funny how things work out. Now, the newlyweds have relocated to Atlanta and are hopefully taking advantage of this perfect snuggling weather! Many thanks to Shanae Hall, owner of Party Life Productions, for all of her help that day.

Jenna & Garrison’s romantic Orlando wedding

October 6th was an amazing day for Jenna Marra and Garrison Muller for many reasons, but mainly because it was the day they vowed to spend the rest of their lives together. Jenna walked down the aisle at Sanlando United Methodist Church in a stunning ivory beaded mermaid dress by Lazaro.

The celebrations continued on at the Sheraton North under the talented wing of Master DJ Mr. Darrin Shifrel of DJ Fun Factory. The Photo Booth (by Scott Trippler at Scotttripler.com) was lots of fun for guests young and old, and everything very well managed and overseen by the Sheraton’s Jana McGreal. Congratulations Jenna and Garrison!!

Both Lara and Brian are ice skating instructors at the RDV Sportsplex located in Maitland, check out the picture with their ice skates — very cute!
