Tis the season...

Not only is it the holiday season with Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years just around the corner but the busy proposal time of year is approaching. We have already seen an increase in the amount of inquiries. Best wishes to all of the newly engaged couples.

New Venue within one mile of The Secret Garden

Seats between 80 to 125 guests. Contact us for details.

New plantings in the Garden

We have had a very warm fall so far which is good because we have just recently re-sodded the garden area as well. Should grow in nicely now. Can't have weeds here.

Congratulations to Carolyn and Damian

A manor in Kissimmee, Florida was the location chosen by this couple from England today for their intimate wedding amongst family and friends.

Wedding photographer search on Google

Searching for "best wedding photographers" in your local area on Google is certainly a time consuming task considering the fact that those keywords will bring up an average of over one million results in most major cities and as high as 9 million in a city like NYC. Referral lists from vendors and friends not only can cut down on the amount of time spent on the internet but can also provide you with testimonials that can provide you with peace of mind in your selection process.

Budget wedding photography in Orlando, Florida

We often hear "We are on a budget and are looking for a great photographer under $xxxx". Rest assured there is no shame in making this claim. The truth is everyone is on a budget with each and every purchase whether it is wedding related or not. The only difference is "the budget amount". We have always tried to give our clients what they are looking for in a wedding photography package in central Florida and at a price that is affordable without sacrificing quality. We will never send subcontracted photographers to achieve this end. What we do is try to find out where we can save you money for example in the amount of time you need covered or the type of album, if you are choosing one. We run sales on albums and certain available dates all the time so a phone call is the best advice we can give you. We look forward to providing you with budget conscious wedding photography in Orlando, Florida.
