Engagement Session At Edward Medard Conservation Park in Plant City, FL

Edward Medard Conservation Park just south of Plant City, FL was the location for Ragdah & Victor’s fall engagement session. This park is absolutely chock full of gorgeous locations from a wonderful wooden bridge crossing a slough leading out to the old mining pits to the hills and exposed roots of the giant old live oak trees. There are miles of trails to explore and even an observation tower. Limitless places for the perfect engagement session!

Dawn & Harry's Elegant Backyard Micro Wedding in Lakeland, FL

Such a blessing as a Lakeland area wedding photographer to photograph the absolute sweetest backyard micro wedding of The Durhams at a local Airbnb here in Lakeland, FL. The sweetest group of friends and family surrounded Dawn & Harry as they exchanged their wedding vows over looking a gorgeous lake and blueberry farm here in Central Florida. There were touches of Disney magic and whimsey on display in everything from the colorful Lilo & Stitch inspired wedding cake to the custom made wedding sign designed with Mickey Mouse Bottle openers….just adorable!

It’s always a pleasure as a wedding photographer in the Lakeland area to see the different ways my clients incorporate who they are as a couple into their wedding pictures. Picking such a gorgeous Airbnb set the perfect tone for their simple, elegant backyard wedding. From the sophisticated chandelier to the deeply polished hardwood floors and the dark toned wall art everything was absolutely dreamy!

Hope you enjoy this small glimpse into the wedding photos of The Durham’s backyard wedding in Polk County, FL and if you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Plant City, Lakeland, Winter Haven, or Lake Wales areas, I would love to be there for you on your wedding day!
