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

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!

"So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover’s life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God.". Philippians 1:9-11 The Message

I have no words to describe the kindness and love of yesterday's sweet wedding. Thank you Patricia & Zach for allowing us to witness all the joy surrounding your union. Wishing you so much sunshine, laughter, & grace on your journey through life together. 📷💗 @ Venice, Florida
