1. Bramble Tree Estate

This is one of my personal favorites (but really, all of these venues are)! I photographed a reality TV wedding for 90 Day Fiancé’s couple, Patrick and Thais — here at Bramble Tree and my goodness, this venue is a stunner. With a beautiful garden and a swing you can sit on under the lush canopy of the tree it’s hung from (bridal portraits anyone?), it’s breathtaking. The outdoor pergola for intimate wedding ceremonies is one of my faves. See another Bramble Tree Estate wedding here! And the best part? The partner with me on a micro wedding Florida package.

For the Disney Lovers

3. Disney Resorts – Disney’s Port Orleans

Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort is a picturesque setting for a wedding, offering the charm of the American South combined with Disney’s signature magic.

The beautiful river views, romantic footbridges, and stately magnolia trees create an enchanting ambiance perfect for a fairytale wedding. With its tranquil setting and attention to detail, Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort ensures a magical and memorable celebration for any couple.

4. Celebration Golf Club

This venue was originally created for Disney (which says a number of things about the charm and detail). I first went there in 1996 when the houses were first being built — and yes, I was quite a bit younger. But all that aside, it’s super close to Disney World and has in-house catering with a full-service bar if you’re of the cocktail-loving crowd like I am! What’s even better – you can walk around the city of Celebration for your portraits and capture stunning backdrops!

5. Acres of Grace Family Farm

Acres of Grace is central Florida’s newest wedding venue, nestled in Howey in the Hills, Florida. This family-owned farm is a true labor of love. In 2018, Joe & his beloved wife embarked on a new journey with 40 acres of citrus grove to create something lasting. Today, the farm is a family affair with children and grandchildren joining the legacy. They allow micro weddings on their beautiful property.
