As a Destination Orlando Wedding Photographer, I have the honor of capturing some of the most special moments in a couple's life. But every once in a while, I come across a couple that truly takes my breath away with their love and devotion to each other. Donna and Craig are that kind of couple.
Originally from Scotland, Donna and Craig have been together for 10 lovely years, and they finally decided to take the plunge and get married. But they didn't just want any ordinary wedding - they wanted something truly special and memorable. So, they flew all the way over to Orlando, Florida, specifically because they adore Walt Disney World. Planning a small wedding from across the Atlantic was no easy feat, but Donna and Craig were up for the challenge. They carefully planned every detail, from the officiant (who is the very best, love me some Sandy Stringfellow of Marry You I Do) to the flowers to the food. And on the day of the wedding, everything came together perfectly.
The Acre was the perfect venue for their small, intimate wedding. Nestled almost smack in the middle of Orlando in the heart of a lush, green forest, this elegant, charming venue was the perfect backdrop for their special day. There are so many gorgeous places to take photos in you guessed it: One Acre! As I walked around the property, I couldn't help but be struck by the serene beauty of the place. The air was filled with quietness even so close to the city's hustle and bustle. It reminds me so much of one of my other favorite Orlando destination wedding venues, Paradise Cove.
As I watched Donna and Craig exchange vows, I could see just how deeply they are in love. They looked at each other with such adoration and tenderness that it was impossible not to be moved by their words and the depth of their feelings.
After the ceremony, the couple celebrated with a small reception. They toasted with apple cider instead of traditional champagne, because ciders are their favorite. As they sipped on their drinks and settled into that newly married feeling, I was able to snap some seriously gorgeous pictures of the two sweethearts snuggled together on one of the benches scattered around The Acre.
Donna and Craig's love story is one that I will always remember. Their deep connection and devotion to each other is truly inspiring, and I am so grateful to have been able to capture their special day. Wishing you both so very much joy and happiness on your journey through life together!
