Spring Wedding at Still Creek Farm in Lakeland, FL

Spring Wedding at Still Creek Farm in Lakeland, FL

It was such an amazing day photographing the wedding of Tiffany & Matt at Still Creek Farm here in Lakeland, FL. This was my second time shooting wedding photos at Still Creek farm and it seems to get better every time. The venue is so peaceful and there are a million and one different locations for taking photos! I adore the little creek that runs through the property and the long road leading in giving it such a feeling of quietness and removal from the world around!
