Orlando Evening Wedding

Copyright 2009 – Scott Todd

As a wedding photographer, I’m always looking for some way of adding new images to my collection, here’s an image I took last week at an incredible Orlando park.  This is a typical wedding bridal portrait that I included with a Signature Level 1 Wedding Collection.  This portrait session gives you the ability to capture the beauty of your gown in a setting where your not worried about getting it dirty. If you like the idea of a trash the dress session,  but don’t really want to trash the dress, a bridal portrait is a great alternative.

OYP September Social

oyp_sept_social-6
Well  it took me a little longer to get the OYP pictures up than I expected, mainly due to a hard drive failure which resulted in the corruption of many files on my hard drive, including, these photo’s.   So, I had to restore a ton of images from my backup server and then recreate some of my work.   This is my first hard drive failure, EVER, so I guess it was a matter of time, I’m glad to see my backup strategy came through with flying colors.

I have posted the pictures to the Orlando Young Professional (OYP) September Social to the group’s facebook page [Link]

The event was held at The Orlando Underground on September 16 [Link].

I hope you enjoy the pictures and I’ll talk to you soon.

The event was held on August 20, 2009 at The Vintage Lounge in downtown Orlando.

While your on Facebook, why not become a fan of my photography on Facebook?

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.

Photographing the Governor

On Friday, August 14, the Governor of Florida, Charlie Crist came to Orlando to discuss the Swine Flu and what the State of Florida and the School Boards are doing to help prevent the spread of the virus.  He also discussed what children and parents can do to protect themselves.

Like most government agencies, the State of Florida is looking for every possible way to save money, so the Governor is not traveling with the State Photographer who would normally photograph the Governor’s activities for the State Archives.  So with the need to still document the Governor’s activities, the Governor’s office asked me to cover the event in Orlando.  Here are a few pictures from that event.

The press conference was held at McCoy Elementary School and the Governor was introduced by the School’s principal, Ruth Ortega.

Also in attendance and speaking at the Press Conference was Orange County Schools Superintendent, Ronald Blocker.

Governor to appoint him to the Senate.  The answer to the last questions was a firm, “no.”

After the event, my family and I were able to spend about 3 minutes in the back room with the Governor, before he left for Tampa.  It was a fantastic opportunity and an honor to help the State of Florida record the event.  The next stop for the pictures, the State Archives and some of the pictures will be printed and autographed by the Governor.  These autographed pictures will be sent to the dignitaries in attendance that day.

Photo Selected for Publication

downtown_mco

This is one of my favorite photos, it’s of Lake Eola in downtown Orlando.  I took this picture back in March during a dull sunset and as I was standing there dreaming of the rich colorful sunsets of summer, the light hit the building in just the right way and I was able to get wonderful warm colors on the buildings and reflecting off of the lake. 

So, I was very pleased  to learn last week that this photo was selected to be used on the cover of a research report that has been commissioned by Orange County Mayor Richard T. Crotty and the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission to promote Central Florida.   The report should be completed and published in the next couple of months, and I can’t wait to see the image on the cover.

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.
