Nelson Worley Wedding

Courtney and Brien were married in the historic town of Mount Dora just outside of Orlando Florida. Traveling down from Atlanta Georgia for their daytime wedding, they held the Old English-style ceremony and the reception at Lakeside Inn Resort. With original plans to hold the wedding outside, the rain came down and blessed the brides dress with goodluck. The ceremony was moved into the Lakeside Inn lobby with hard wood floors and embelished ceilings.

The ceremony began with beautiful music played by a small orchestra. Courtney was escorted out the glass doors and down the aisle by her mother, Tina. Keeping her wedding within her family, Courtney's father, an ordained minister, married them both. It was a very traditional ceremony with the exchanging of vows and rings. Before being announced husband and wife, another close family member sang a beautiful number to them both. A beautiful trumpet played as they walked hand and hand with gigantic smiles on their faces back down the aisle.

Courtney and Brien both agreed that they were interested in candid photographs instead of the traditional images for their portraits. We spent a couple minutes doing some quick family portraits, then we had a fun time with the bridal party and the couple doing some sweet images of them together. Being the historic, wrap around, front porch type manor that it was, portraits of the couple in the rocking chairs were very important. We let them be themselves and just observed with our cameras.

The reception included a brunch for their friends and family, and the music was live music from a local harpist. Speeches from several friends and family came before brunch, including a sweet thank you to all who attended from the bride. After brunch, the couple cut their cake, danced a dance, and threw the garder. The couple exited their reception with dried rose petals being tossed their way for good luck and a beautiful horse-drawn carriage ride.

Angelina & Daniel, November 28, 2010

Angelina and Daniel were married not too far from their home in Orlando. The ceremony was held just out front of the historic Spanish farmhouse Casa Feliz in Winter Park, Florida. Translated as "Happy House", Casa Feliz was built in 1932 and later moved in 2000 to it's current location on the Winter Park Golf Course. It's an absolutely gorgeous brick historic home, and a beautiful backdrop for a wedding. With a smaller wedding of approximately 40 guests, the grounds made the new couple's wedding day an intimate occasion. The lawn was set with deep cherry wood and black leather chairs for the traditional ceremony. Immediately after the wedding ceremony, the guests proceeded to the cocktail time in Casa Feliz's side room. The bride and groom's family and wedding party stayed around for portraits out front of the historic home.

The new happy couple did get some time to enjoy with their guests before proceeding to the reception. In one of the living spaces on the bottom floor, the DJ was set up with his speakers and the announcements were made as the wedding party entered the room. Angelina and Daniel had their first dances, and the famiy and friends joined.
The couple were adamate about using the photo booth at the wedding. They were not huge dancers themselves, and they wanted to make sure their guests had a great time with them. The booth was a hit. Even the grandparents were getting into it, and now there are some super fun images to remember the night by.

After a few hours of eating, drinking, and having a fun night, it was time for Angelina and Daniel to go. They had to catch an early flight the next morning for their honeymoon. They gathered their suitcases, and scurried out to their exit car beneath a tunnel of sparklers.

Best wishes to you both, and thank you for letting us be a part of your happy day!
