Photo’s from the Omni ChampionsGate

Last week, I had the opportunity to shoot Lauren and Nick at the Omni ChampionsGate Resort [Omni Orlando Wedding Location] located just south of Orlando.

This place is an incredible place for a wedding.  There’s an number of incredible ballrooms for the perfect reception.  One of the second floor ballrooms has a fantastic view and balcony of the golf course, while the downstairs ballrooms are adjacent to an awesome garden area.

The first two images were taken in the hallway downstairs, just outside the ballrooms.

This image was taken in the area just outside the main lobby. It’s one of my favorite places at this location because of all of the cool features. On this picture, I like how the sun’s ray goes right to the couple.

On this image, I like how all of the lines in this area point right to the couple.

Just to the south of Orlando and past Walt Disney World is an incredible resort perfect for a wedding ceremony and reception.   The Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate features elegant ballrooms perfect for a reception of any size and lush tropical outdoor grassy area overlooking the golf course in the shadow of this awesome hotel.

The outdoor grassy area is also the perfect place for an outdoor wedding reception.

If you are interested in a Trash the Dress photo session [Link] the day after your wedding, the lazy river and pool area at the Omni makes the perfect back drop.

Also, remember that Saturday’s are typically very popular wedding days for a resort like this, so if you have flexibility in your schedule be sure to ask them what their rates would be on Friday or Sunday [Link].

When you contact the hotel, please be sure to tell them where you heard about their location.

I have always been blown away by the magnificance of this church.  It’s Winter Park location is an awsome place for wedding, I’m looking forward to the day I can shoot a wedding here!

The history of this beautiful church in Winter Park, Florida dates back to 1886 when Orlando received it’s first resident catholic priest.  It’s hard to believe that Orlando was just a small city back in those days.

There have been many additions to the parish since it purchased it’s land in 1924.  The current church was built in 1969.

If your at the The Collection make sure you take a few minutes and walking into this awesome location!
