We just had the honor of photographing a beautiful wedding in Orlando. The wedding was very beautiful but getting there was truly an adventure. The traffic on I-4 was busy as we left Tampa (nothing too unusual about that) but things got really interesting as we got closer to Orlando and found out that there had been a serious accident on I-4 which caused ALL of the eastbound lanes to be closed for several hours. Traffic was backed up for miles and miles. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers used to photographing throughout the state of Florida, we always leave for all of our weddings and events several hours early. The fact that I-4 was closed was more of an inconvenience than a concern. After detouring south and taking an extra hour to get to Orlando, we arrived at the wedding location two hours prior to the start time. The wedding took place at the First Baptist Church of Orlando. We were impressed by how large the church and grounds are. As we pulled into the complex, we noticed signs for an athletic complex, a school, the main church, two chapels, and multiple halls and events centers. This place is HUGE!! We ended up driving around two or three times before we finally got our bearings and got familiar with our new surroundings, we found where Monica and James were getting married and loved the beautiful elegance of the chapel. We walked around the entire campus looking for some great locations and found several.
Monica and James were a pleasure to work with and we got some really great shots of them during the pre-wedding and the formals after the ceremony. Everyone involved was very friendly and laughing a ton, which makes it a lot easier for us to capture great images. The reception was very nice and there was a live band, which is always a great treat at weddings. Everyone had a lot of fun and the entire event was very well organized and flowed very smoothly. Not all events run this smoothly, and as experienced Orlando wedding photographers, we have to congratulate Aura Wedding and Event Design for putting together such a beautiful wedding event. We worked with Asha in the weeks leading up to the event and she was always quick to respond to all of our inquiries as we prepared for this wedding. We definitely look forward to working with Asha and her team on many more future events in Orlando and in Tampa. We wish Monica and James a long and happy marriage and also look forward to capturing many more of their important life events in the years to come!
The days leading up to this wedding were very rainy and it was uncertain if Dan and Teresa were going to be able to have their dream outdoor wedding. Luckily, it stopped raining the night before and the morning of the wedding, there was nothing but blue skies and sun. This was perfect weather, especially because the location where they were getting married was so beautiful. They got married at the English Gardens, which is a secluded but lush gardens just a few minutes from downtown Orlando. It made for a beautiful backdrop to their wedding. Everything from the lovely cottage where Teresa got ready to the gazebo where they took their vows, made for a great setting. Once the ceremony was over, we headed over to the Double Tree Castle Hotel in Orlando where everyone partied and helped to celebrate this very special day. It was such a pleasure working with Dan and Teresa and we hope to work with them again in the near future.

It was a beautiful wedding at a gorgeous location. The ceremony ended just in time for us to go outside and photograph the formals at the side of the lake just as the sun was setting on the horizon. Got some amazing images!!
