I’ve been a bride-to-be for a year and a half now and we finally got our engagement photos done. I must say that it was totally worth the wait. These came out amazing, but the shoot almost didn’t turn out like this. I’d originally planned to do my engagement shoot in another park in Florida. But, I found out two days before the shoot that the park would be overrun by kids as Florida’s schools would be out that week and they probably wouldn’t be letting anyone in after 10 a.m. Needless to say, this park was a no go for my engagement photos.

At this point I was freaking out. So I went to my fiance Ian for help and he sent me a link to the Top 15 Engagement Shoot Locations in Orlando. “I already know which one you’re going to pick,” he said. And his prediction was right. I chose Lake Runnymede Conservation Area and it was one of the most magical places I’ve ever visited. It’s the real life version of an enchanted forest. I also couldn’t have asked for a more talented photographer to shoot our photos. Emily Prada was with me all the way as I changed the location a million times and every photo was seriously the best photo. I had a tough time deciding which to use in my wedding invites and bridal shower invites. I’m thrilled that she’ll be shooting my wedding too!
