Moss Estates Venue Wedding - Danny & Robin - Eustis, FL

As an Orlando wedding photographer, I've had the honor of photographing many beautiful weddings throughout Central Florida. But there's always something extra special when it's a wedding for a friend and colleague. That's why Danny and Robin's wedding at Moss Estates venue in Eustis, FL, will always hold a special place in my heart.

One of the most touching moments of the day was when Danny and Robin shared a first touch before the ceremony. This is a beautiful way for couples to connect without actually seeing each other before the ceremony. It allows them to exchange words of love and encouragement, calm their nerves, and share in the anticipation of the moment they'll soon become husband and wife.

Robin looked absolutely stunning in her sparkly lace ballgown, which perfectly complemented the blues and greys that were the wedding colors. Danny looked equally dapper in his suit and tie, and their son Samuel was an adorable ring bearer.

The day started off with rain, which can be nerve-wracking for any bride and groom on their wedding day. But Robin and Danny remained calm and collected, trusting that everything would work out just as it should. And, as if on cue, the rain stopped just in time for their outdoor ceremony under a huge oak tree.

The ceremony itself was beautiful, but the real magic happened afterwards, when Danny and Robin shared private vows in the field. As an Orlando wedding photographer, I've seen many couples exchange vows in front of their guests, but there's something truly special about the intimacy of private vows.

The rain from the earlier storm left the sky a spectacular show. The sunset through the storm clouds was breathtaking and made a stunning backdrop to their portraits.

After the ceremony, it was time for the reception inside the barn. The venue was beautifully decorated, and the band had everyone up and dancing.

One of the highlights of the evening was the hora, a traditional Jewish dance where the bride and groom are lifted up in chairs while their friends and family dance around them. It's always a joy to photograph such a lively and festive tradition.

As the night drew to a close, Danny and Robin had a sparkler exit. This is a fun way for couples to end the night on a high note and create some unforgettable photos. And unforgettable is exactly what Danny and Robin's wedding was.

As an Orlando wedding photographer, it's always an honor to document such a special day in a couple's lives. But when that couple is a friend and colleague, it adds an extra layer of meaning and emotion. Danny and Robin's wedding at Moss Estates venue was a day filled with love, joy, and beauty, and I'm so grateful to have been a part of it.

As an Orlando wedding photographer, it was a pleasure to capture Kaylan and Mike's wedding at Mission Inn Resort and Club in Howey-In-The-Hills, FL. This wedding was a celebration of love and commitment, with the couple surrounded by their family and friends.

Kaylan and Mike's color scheme was shades of purple and ivory, which created a stunning and elegant atmosphere for the wedding.

Mike himself wore a light grey suit, which added a touch of sophistication and modernity to the wedding.

The ceremony was held in Plaza Fontana, overlooking the lake, and despite the cloudy day, it was a beautiful backdrop for the couple to exchange their vows.

The couple was beaming with joy, and the love they had for each other was palpable, making it a pleasure to capture those moments for them. Kaylan's dress was a lace mermaid gown that fit her beautifully, and the intricate details on the lace added a touch of delicacy and femininity to her look. The bouquet was a gorgeous arrangement of lavender roses, purple spray roses, purple orchids, soft white hydrangeas, and other purple and soft white flowers, along with eucalyptus and other greenery. The colors and textures of the bouquet complemented the color scheme and added a touch of natural beauty to the wedding.

The reception was held in the La Hacienda restaurant, which was decorated with twinkle lights in the draping on the ceiling. This added a romantic and magical element to the atmosphere. The centerpieces on the tables were purple, which brought the color scheme together and added a pop of color to the room. The room was filled with joy and laughter, and everyone was having a great time celebrating the newlyweds.

One of the highlights of the reception was the shoe game that Kaylan and Mike played. The game is where the couple sits back to back and holds each other's shoes. The emcee then asks a series of questions, and the couple raises the shoe of the person who the question applies to. It was a fun way to get everyone involved and provided some comedic relief during the reception.

The night ended with a sparkler exit, which was a magical way to end the day. The guests lined up outside with sparklers in hand, and the couple walked out hand in hand, with the sparklers lighting up the night sky. It was a perfect end to a perfect day.
