Fall Wedding at Town Manor on the Lake in Auburndale, FL

Fall Wedding at Town Manor on the Lake in Auburndale, FL

There are just not enough words to describe how sweetly wonderful it was to photograph the wedding of Keila & Joey at the elegant Town Manor on the Lake in Auburndale, FL. Their kindness and respect for each other was evident in everything they did and the love of their families floated around them like a cloud all through the day. What started out as a rainy, windy day cleared up long enough to have their ceremony in front of the gorgeous white gazebo where the florals matched the bouquets held by all the beautiful bridesmaids,

After the ceremony, we were able to venture out onto the dock overlooking Lake Julianna as the sun was beginning to set. Just before we all went in for dinner, Keila and Joey shared their first dance as husband and wife, surrounded by friends and family, on the brick balcony with an epic view of the lake.

Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your lovely Town Manor wedding. It is always such a joy to be there!

These two are, without a single doubt, absolutely adorably in love and I am so excited to photograph their wedding day in February at Town Manor on the Lake. When Nikki reached out to me to photograph their big day & their sweet downtown Bartow engagement session (love the photos at the fire station…..oh my!) I over the moon to be back at one of my favorite Polk County wedding venues. Peep one of my other Town Manor weddings and you’ll see how gorgeous it is! Lots of laughter throughout the evening session. Can’t wait for their wedding!

The Club at Eaglebrooke Wedding of Leanne & Zachary, Lakeland, FL

Such a perfect, perfect day photographing the wedding of Leanne & Zachary at the gorgeous https://www.eaglebrooke.com/. Absolutely adored being part of their sweet day. What I love about Leanne and Zachary is that their hearts radiate JOY. Every step together is steeped in deep happiness and endless contentment, and I just LOVE them for it! Their romance started way back in eighth grade when they met at a poetry competition. That poetry carried over all the way into their emotional wedding ceremony at https://www.shepherdroad.com/ where there wasn’t a dry eye in the house as the two read their personal vows to each other.

From the church, we all headed over to The Club at Eaglebrooke here in Lakeland, FL, where I continued photographing their gorgeous wedding out on the greens, When the formal photos were all done, the sweethearts headed inside for a fun and laughter filled reception hosted by Chris Grainger of https://www.graingertainment.com/

Hope you enjoy this celebration at The Club at Eaglebrooke- I am so totally in LOVE!
