Your day. Your way.

Photographing your big (yet small) day at the Seminole County Courthouse in Sanford.

Every year, I shoot hundreds of courthouse weddings in the courthouses of Central Florida

 

Each wedding that we've covered at the Seminole County Courthouse has been unique and my favorite thing about this courthouse is that they will marry you outside!

Why should you consider getting hitched in Seminole County?

The Seminole County Courthouse is located in a quiet area of Sanford. Parking is free, easy, and right next to the building.

 

While the Orange County Courthouse is a great location if you want your photos to be city-style, Seminole is beautiful in a different way.

 

The courthouse grounds are very green with foliage and the building itself is attractive. There's a small green at the courthouse which makes a lovely location for photos.

 

Of course, if you have another spot in mind for photos after your ceremony, I'm up for a short drive to another place that feels special to you.

Love, not logistics

I cater to modern money-smart couples who crave intimacy over extravagance and value celebrating love, not logistics.

"Because of these photos, people who weren’t able to attend our micro wedding thought we had a traditional, expensive wedding!"

A wedding? In this economy?

How do we spend our 2 hours together?

Most courthouse weddings are complete in 1.5 hrs but I give us 2 just in case.

 

Here's the flow of the day:

  1. We arrive at the courthouse 5-10 mins before your appointment time
  2. Go through security
  3. Take a number and wait to be called to the window
  4. Do your paperwork
  5. Have your ceremony
  6. Photos outside the courthouse

Why do couples choose a courthouse wedding?

As Florida's busiest courthouse wedding photographer, I've been studying the trend to better understand why couples choose to get married this way. A majority of my clients say the top reason for their choice is lower cost.
