An Intimate Celebration Surrounded by Nature
There’s something undeniably magical about a micro wedding at a garden villa. The natural beauty, the quiet elegance, and the intentional atmosphere make these intimate events some of my absolute favorites to capture. Recently, I had the honor of photographing a micro wedding tucked inside one of Orlando’s most enchanting garden venues—and every detail was like something out of a storybook.
The Setting: An Orlando Garden Villa That Feels Like Tuscany
From the moment I arrived, it felt like we had stepped into another world. The venue was filled with vibrant greenery, flowering vines, and stone paths that gave major European garden vibes—without ever leaving Central Florida.
The ceremony took place beneath a shaded pergola, surrounded by tall hedges and delicate florals. With less than 30 guests present, the energy was warm and intentional. Every smile, every vow, every tear—it all felt incredibly personal.
💡 Garden tip: Opt for a late afternoon or golden hour ceremony to make the most of the soft, romantic lighting under the trees.

Why Garden Villas Are Perfect for Micro Weddings
Naturally beautiful: You don’t need much décor—nature does most of the heavy lifting.
Privacy: These venues are often tucked away, offering an exclusive feel that larger venues can’t always provide.
Photo-ready: Every corner of the space—from the winding paths to the ivy-covered walls—makes for breathtaking portraits.
Flexible guest count: Most garden villas are ideal for 15–50 guests, which is the sweet spot for a micro wedding.
The Details That Made It Special
The bride wore a simple silk gown and carried a bouquet of wildflowers and eucalyptus.
The groom’s suit was light beige—perfect for an outdoor setting.
Guests sipped champagne beneath string lights as live acoustic music played in the background.
A sweetheart table set under the bistro lights was styled with vintage glassware and garden-picked florals.
And the best part? The couple had time to be fully present. With a more relaxed timeline, we were able to sneak away for sunset portraits in the garden’s hidden corners—and those images turned out to be some of the most heartfelt of the day.
