Heather & Taylor’s Classic and Timeless Wedding Day
Planning a wedding in Central Florida comes with endless beautiful options, especially for couples who love being outdoors. Heather and Taylor’s fall lakeside wedding was the perfect example of how meaningful, personal details and a relaxed atmosphere can come together for a truly unforgettable day. As a Florida wedding photographer, capturing days like this, filled with emotion, connection, and golden light, is always an honor.



Heather and Taylor first met while attending UCF, where their story began in the most unexpected way — over fried zucchini in their dorm. Heather, originally from Pennsylvania (just like me!), and Taylor quickly formed a connection that turned into something lasting. Their relationship is full of humor, warmth, and deep appreciation for the little moments, which was shown throughout their wedding day.



Their wedding took place at a lakeside Central Florida wedding venue, surrounded by close family and friends. The fall weather was warm but comfortable, creating the perfect setting for an outdoor celebration. The day felt classic and timeless, with a strong focus on candid moments and genuine emotion rather than anything overly staged.






Golden hour by the lake brought a soft glow to their portraits, giving their photos that effortless and romantic feel many couples dream of when planning a Florida wedding.







Heather and Taylor added several personal touches that made their wedding feel uniquely them aka lighthearted and fun:
These thoughtful details made the day feel relaxed, fun, and deeply personal.



The couple chose a classic blue and white color palette, keeping everything clean, timeless, and elegant. This simple color choice worked beautifully with the lakeside setting and natural surroundings.
While the focus wasn’t on a large wedding party, the overall look felt polished and intentional showing that simplicity can still feel incredibly elevated.
The lake was the heart of their decision. Heather and Taylor wanted a venue that felt calm, scenic, and intimate. Being by the water allowed them to slow down, enjoy their guests, and soak in the experience, which translated beautifully into their photos.



Heather and Taylor were incredibly detail-oriented and valued photographs deeply. They love revisiting images, saving favorites, and reliving moments long after the day has passed. They chose to work with me because they wanted a Florida wedding photographer who could capture beyond what their day looked like, but also be able to relive how it felt.
From the in-between moments to joyful celebrations, their gallery tells the full story of the day.
Heather and Taylor’s wedding was a reminder that the most meaningful celebrations are rooted in connection, intention, and trust. Their lakeside fall wedding perfectly balanced elegance with ease — and it was a joy to document every moment.
