Carmela Blackwell Photography, a Lakeland, Plant City, Winter Haven and all of Central Florida based wedding photographer capturing your joyful wedding day.
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!
Saturday, September 17th was the sweetest of days at The Sorosis Building on Lake Morton in downtown Lakeland, FL. I adore this venue here in Lakeland. Everything form the gleaming hardwood floors, to the tall ceilings, wrought iron and brick fencing, and that gorgeous, gorgeous fireplace in the front room with the giant mantle that is just begging for photos and flowers to adorn it! Such a perfect location for personalization! And the lighting and locations for wedding photography are unbeatable!
Last Spring, I had the sweet privilege of photographing Lauren & Romeo’s ultra romantic wedding at the fabulous Garden Villa in Winter Park, FL. One of my favorite venues to photograph in the Orlando area, there are so many gorgeous locations throughout the property for taking photos.
Pop the champagne……It’s official, Valerie & Jordan are married! Their Adams Estate wedding was absolutely stunning and beautiful in every way. It was the perfect combination of romantic, modern and elegant. Adams Estate is one of my favorite venues to photograph weddings in the Orlando area.
From the moment I arrived on Saturday to photograph their wedding here in Lakeland, FL, I could feel the joy and happiness surrounding these two sweethearts. They had managed to plan a wonderful day to celebrate their love from Arkansas….no easy feat when you also have a brand new two month old addition to the family!
Perfect Mickey & Minnie magic for the sweetest Cypress Grove Estate elopement in Orlando. When I got the email to photograph Nikki & Brett’s lovely Orlando destination wedding starting with the most brilliant first look at Disney’s Animal Lodge, I was over the moon excited! Nicki & Brett did a fabulous job planning their Disney themed wedding from the UK with the help of Brandee of Blush by Brandee Garr and then fate sprinkled fairy dust all over it as we encountered all the friendly workers at the Yacht & Beach Club. Reverend Kev , as always, did an impeccable job putting together a custom wedding ceremony highlighting the lovebirds’ joyful personalities. Thank you for putting your trust in me to capture such an amazing day in your love story. Very, very best wishes for a wonderful, magical life together- CBlackwell
Nicola & Joseph are the absolute bees knees and it was such a sweet joy to photograph their Disney destination wedding at Paradise Cove in Lake Buena Vista. The two sweethearts could not keep their eyes off each other or keep the smiles from their faces whenever they looked towards the other. So MUCH love surrounded them! The ceremony was beautifully performed by Teresa Knox of A Beautiful Ceremony. Paradise Cove on Little Lake Bryan is such a perfect location for a destination wedding in Orlando with its elegant tropical vibe and gorgeous views of the lake. After the ceremony, champagne toast, and cake- The Greggs and I were able to journey over to Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club for their Disney newlywed photos. Such an AMAZING time spent with the two of them!
